This game taught me the word 'fuck.'
I first played Scarface: The World Is Yours on the PS2 at age 8, and I have memories of shocked guests (except for the one cool uncle who knew the movie) watching this kid play a game that yelled the F-word every 5 seconds. I have never finished this game, and I never will. I've tried a few times (a couple of years after my parents finally took away the PS2 version's disc, I burned this game onto a blank DVD to play it again), but after another day of giving it the old college try, I'm done.
It's incredible how our child selves overlooked flaws because we were just happy to have games to play. I used to think Scarface was a better GTA game than the actual GTAs, because you could go into buildings and have conversations with NPCs on the street and do vehicular combat and piss in trash cans and swim (I wasn't aware San Andreas had swimming).
Playing it as a grown man, I can see how shallow Scarface: The World Is Yours really is. If there was ever an AI-generated video game, this is what it would look like. Most of the aforementioned conversations are just you and an NPC speaking random lines at each other; the missions are repetitive and require grinding of randomly generated sidequests before you get a crumb of story; the world is designed to be faithful to the setting rather than fun to navigate. Almost all back streets have dead ends, and cars can't climb over anything. Forcing the player to stay on the road makes car chases a bore and evading the police a chore.
It's all very faithful to the movie, to a fault. The game quotes the film's classic lines into memehood. Tony Montana feels like a cartoon with Alzheimer's disease as his monologues are lifted wholesale from the film to be re-dubbed here by an impressive soundalike - Al Pacino couldn't reprise his role after one too many cigars.
If you do want to check out this curiosity piece, try the PS2 version. The PC port is bad and buggy. You've probably seen the famous glitch where Tony's head isn't attached to his body if you're playing on anything newer than Windows XP. Sometimes you're forced to restart missions because the vehicle required to do them doesn't spawn. The graphics miss details that were present in the PS2 version, such as Tony's jacket getting soaked with blood as he takes damage. I played this game with a fan-made 'remastered' patch, plus half a dozen other fixes duct-taped together to give the fucking thing controller support and better performance. It still wasn't very good.
There was more effort put into Scarface: The World Is Yours than most licensed games, but it's no Batman: Arkham City. It has a lot to do, but it makes you do it so often it gets tiresome. It hastily rewrites the ending to one of my favourite films, and proves that being in a licensed game is a fate worse than death. I will always be somewhat fond of this game because of the childhood memories, but now the rose-tinted aviator sunglasses are off.
Manolo, choot this piece of chit.

Balls Meter
my little sister always thought she drived the cars, but in reality her controller was turned off lmao. she still hates me for that
me (a film expert) (also a videogame expert): this character's name is tony montana
This review contains spoilers
This game is great fun to play, despite its look. The Story takes place after the movie and is an alternate timeline to see what might have happened had Tony Montana not died at the end of the film, this is a clever way to let people have fun with the open world without being restricted by the movie. The Characters from the movie also sound either just like their counterparts or just great impersonations through their voice acting, the new characters are also great, they feel they fit in this world and have 3 dimensional personalities despite them not being in the game much. The Graphics are the worst thing in this game, their bad, models look unrecognizable outside of Tony himself, there like almost no textures to parts of things, the environment has a good color scheme. The Controls are a bit stiff and don't feel natural like the GTA games or the Godfather game do, when shooting people, the screen tells you where they were shot, and there is satisfactory in shooting enemies, but there isn't an auto aim. The gameplay is the best part of the game, you go around building your empire again and kill rival gang leaders, you can buy drugs with a timing game that determine the amount you can haggle between buying and selling, you can use this for intimidating people, you can do a mission for the current owner of a business, and they will let you buy their establishments, so you can make money doing nothing while a manager takes care of it for you, you can pay for extra security for each one including your mansion, you can do gang wars and take territory from other gangs, they can also attack your establishments, damage will cause you to have to buy the damages, if you make money illegally you take it to the bank to have it laundered, interest rates are effected by the dame mechanic as the drugs minigame, and be careful when you commit crimes, because you have to pay off any heat you have, or it will never go away and not only will random cops and gangsters will come after you, but the price to pay the heat away gets bigger as the game goes on, the drug mechanic comes back if you have to fast talk a cop too, this helps with heat a bit, and, you can buy exotics, furniture and garages to deliver imports around the city and even getting balls improves peoples respect for you too. All these are really fun and get you into the Scarface world. The Music choices when you're driving are copyrighted tracks, which just like GTA are great songs and fit a different type of atmosphere you can come across in the game. Scarface: The World Is Yours can be your if you like great gangster games and can look past bad graphics to bring you a great time, and satisfaction to the Scarface fans.
Ahead of its time, has game mechanics that today are seen as revolutionary.

Despite Vice City ripping off the movie wholesale, it took an actual video game adaptation to get the whole "so sick of winning" satire of the movie.
Scarface fanfiction that plays like a gta bootleg
very fun, repetitive towards the end
the best "GTA clone" out there

The World Is Yours Chico And Everything In It
A decent open world GTA knockoff
Starting this game at the film's endpoint and immediately letting you gun down all your enemies while a "balls" meter fills up is funnier than any intentional parody of this era of games could possibly be
one of the most ridiculous games I've ever played. but it's good. scarface felt like it was trying to top the PS2 gta's and they (sorta) did it. the inclusion of a rage meter was unique and really fit tony's character. the overall property management was such a chore and even more when they were under attack. the whole premise of the game is to grind, grind and grind until you have enough money to buy a item from the catalog to increase your rep. it gets extremely annoying and tedious, and much more frustrating when you can lose your money from dying. it's a good experience but later on it just gets annoying.
Maybe you can handle yourself one of them first-class tickets to the Resurrection.....
I played this game with the Remastered Projected in mind. Apart from that it was a pretty Vanilla experience. I had this game on a bounty because I never thought to beat it as a kid. It was really challenging and I am glad to have come back and finished the job. Scarface the world is yours is similar in GTA about its asset missions and that is about it. Most people say its a GTA clone but I feel like it stands out alone to which its more of a Drug Sim Empire kind of experience. What is there is really good. Haggling people as well as smuggling Ye-Yo overseas is pretty fun, but only the first couple of times. I feel like where this game struggles is its repetitive nature just to access the rest of the game. A lot of its system relies on the reputation meter which gives you more and more unlocks by buying exotics or businesses. You do a lot of rinse and repeat in this game which sounds good on paper and makes it seem like you are growing an empire but that's really all the game offers. I will say the shooting is WAY ahead of its time. It feels really good from the Carbine to the shotgun. Probably the best feeling shotgun I have played in a while lol. Celebrity Cameos are all over the place here but they only serve for a scene or two besides 2 characters who serve as "antagonists". Music is pretty good and has a lot of variety but I was mixed if it really fit into a "Scarface" game. Overall not a bad game, not a terrible game. Its a very interesting game. If you love Scarface, I think you will enjoy the "What if" this game has to offer and take revenge on Sosa. Apart from its repetitive nature I always kept coming back cause I love seeing Millions of dollars splashing on my screen lol

Lit tiene un medidor de BOLAS, que mas puedes pedir??
Arguably a better GTA game than most actual GTA games.
Scarface the world is yours is a pretty good game and recommend for people that like gta and the original movie. The story is a cool what If tony survived at the end of the movie and plotted revenge on Sosa. I feel like this a cool take on licensed games even if it cheapens the ending of the movie a bit. The gameplay has couple interesting gameplay mechanics that helps it stand out from Gta and accentuate tony like the balls meter, the way drug deals work, and other stuff makes it feel like the gamemakers were big fans of the movie and wanted to put that in a ps2. One issue is how tedious it can get for money and building your empire can be a drag at times. But overall scarface the world is yours Is a good gta clone and if you have the means you should play it.

tudo aqui é mediocre ou ruim. historia ruim, gameplay mid, progressao terrivelmente ruim, mapa mediocre.
Más divertido que GTA San Andreas.
The gameplay loop to get money helmets pretty tiring
Spent a few hours with the Remastered Project on PC, and it's a really great piece of work. A vibrant update with beautiful new textures, full HD support, widescreen fixes, modern controls, and great performance on even a modest desktop. A top notch way to revisit (or maybe play for the first time) a gem of a B-game. I don't see myself finishing the game again as it's quite grindy, but I'll definitely keep this installed for an occasional Miami rampage when the mood hits.
Side note: don't bother trying to get this going on Steam Deck. I spent a lot of time tinkering with it and it never came close. The modded version is a no-go, but the vanilla PC version is unplayable without mods. A tonne of reddit threads are out there saying the same thing, and it's not something the mod team are actively working on. So save yourself some time and go straight to a Windows device.

O tanto que esse jogo foi subestimado no mundo dos games me preocupa.
Você poder simplesmente jogar com mais de um personagem e fazer missões no mundo aberto. Hahaha você acha que tô confundindo com GTA V né? Se enganou otário.
O tanto de coisa daora nesse jogo é inacreditável. Colocar um tubarão numa mansão, comprar carro e barco a torto e direito e isso te deixando mais poderoso. Você vender cocaína, contratar assassina, motorista e o mano careca lá. Botar pra arrombar, matar tudo e todos. Dar um especial que te faz xingar ainda mais os outros. Simplesmente pra ser roubado pelo banco. 10/10 jogo incrivelmente acima da média e subestimado.

Genuinely one of the better crime sandbox games and at the top of the GTA-likes stack. Great soundtrack, great grasp of tone, shooting that remains fun throughout thanks to a unique aiming system, and some of the best vehicle handling I've experienced in a game; drifting has never felt better. The downsides are mostly in the progression department, and the story isn't anything special once you get past the extremely clever opening that subverts the end of the film
esse jogo eh mt loco
