The movie is classic, but how is the game? It starts out where the movie ends, except instead of Tony dying, he survives, excapes, then basically has to come back to rebuild his empire. The intro is sweet, clips from the movie, mixed in with some graphics and a list of all the voice actors in the game. There are tons, everyone from Ice T, to Michael Rappaport to Bam Margara (and about 2 dozen others)
The graphics are pretty decent, the character models are pretty bleh looking, with hands that look like paws, and the hair looks really bad. It looks a lot like GTA, and plays similar. Which isn't a bad thing. True to the movie it has tons of f**ks and other cool words thrown in. The music rocks, it has mostly older tunes with a few new ones. I dunno why they'd put newer music in, but the old stuff is top notch. There was something strangely cool about mowing down dozens of rivals while Billy Ocean's Carribian Queen was playing
controls are weird, sometimes Tony just seems to do whatever he wants. It has an auto-lock feature, which I usually don't like on PC games. But there are so many enemies on the screen at once sometimes it's really better to have it. You can take an ungodly amount of damage before you die. It's very violent, you can shoot people in the balls, blow off body parts and blood splatters eveywhere. The more you kill the more your meter goes up, throw in the ability to taunt them while you're putting bullets threw their heads. When your meter's full you can go into first person mode and really go crazy with the slaughter and take less damage in the process.
I think they captured the essence of the movie pretty well, when I first heard they were making a Scarface game eairly last year. One thing I remember reading was the game wouldn't contain any drugs. Thankfully this game is full of Yayo (Cocaine) Although I haven't figure out if you can ever actually get to snort any.
You can't kill anyone, only people who have f*cked Tony over, just like in the real movie. Kind of unrealistic that you can run a person over in your car and they just keep getting up.
Voice acting is wonderful, especially whoever is doing Tony. He sounds spot on for Al Pachino.
The game is mission based, but you can roam around, kill people, sell coke, pretty much do whatever you wish. It's fun, I love the amount of cussing and over the top shoot-outs in it. Dunno if it will stay this interesting to me, but I'm a good 4 hours into the game and I'm still hooked.
I'll give it a 4/5 even with the less then great graphics it's still a blast to play. One note. When I ran it the first time and it did the auto configuration, it ran like a slide show with mostly everything maxed. I adjusted it down a bit and it runs smooth.
