Scarface: The World Is Yours on Wii is a flawed but ambitious adaptation of the classic gangster film. It lets you step into Tony Montana's shoes, rebuilding his empire through violent shootouts and drug-fueled business deals. While the core concept is appealing, the Wii controls feel clunky and imprecise, making combat more frustrating than thrilling. The story offers some entertaining moments, but the repetitive missions and bland side activities hold the experience back from reaching its full potential.

a ideia do jogo é muito interessante, reimaginando o final do filme se o tony montana tivesse sobrevivido, a mecanica de combate é bem legal e eu nao lembro de nenhum jogo que teve uma aim assist como a desse jogo.

como alguem que ama o filme os primeiros 30 minutos desse jogo me deixaram muito animado. porém, quanto mais vc joga mais vc percebe como esse jogo é mal polido e algumas vezes parece que os devs nem tentaram.

os gráficos sao bem ruinzinhos mesmo pra época, ainda mais quando vc considera que gta san andreas e resident evil 4 foram lançados 2 anos e 1 ano antes desse jogo, e o god of war 2 no ano seguinte, então os devs não tiveram tempo ou não souberam tirar o máximo do ps2.

o ator que dubla o tony montana tenta mas não chega nem perto de alcançar o nível de carisma do al pacino e a escrita do jogo é bem fraquinha, principalmente os dialogos, por algum motivo o tony montana é muito puto com todo mundo nesse jogo todo, e eu sei que o personagem dele não é nenhum santo mas tem varias vezes que ele fala muito agressivamente por nenhum motivo, o jogo repete a mesma fala muitas vezes, sério eu ouvi uma variação da expressão "ima grab the world by the balls" umas 10 vezes nas 3 horas de jogo que tive.

a ia dos inimigos é muito burra com eles batendo e ficando presos em objetos varias vezes durante o combate. o sistema de intimidação/negociacao e interessante no comeco mas fica chato bem rapido. por mais de eu nao ter gostado do jogo a ideia do plot e um "gta mas voce é um tony montana" é algo bastante interessante que vale algumas horas de jogo pelo menos. ah, foda se as missoes de barco nesse jogo, eu me recuso a acreditar que algum dev no beta test pilotou um barco.

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.

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.

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.

Let us start with the main negative – Scarface: The World Is Yours is simply a port of a year-old PS2 and Xbox game. That said, a good game is most often a good game no matter what platform it’s on and, unlike Prince of Persia: Rival Swords, Scarface doesn’t try to hide that. In Scarface, you take control of Tony Montana in the final scenes of the film – straight after “Say hello to my little friend” – and fight your way out of the mansion (rather than ending up sleeping with the fishes). The rest of the game takes place 3 months after this, where Tony has lost everything and must reclaim what’s his and get revenge on Sosa. There are no extras for the Wii version, so the main difference this time is the controls.

The main functionality is the pointer used for aiming and the camera. You chose between 4 different sized bounding boxes to get the right balance of aiming and camera control (the start of the tutorial lets you cycle through the modes without needing to change it on a menu – making it easy to select the right one for you). The pointer functionality works well, and if you point off-screen the camera will “reset” itself to a default camera, which is great for walking around – you can rest your arm like this. You can also use Z to lock-on to enemies, and mixing lock-on and manual aiming works great. Melee weapons are used by holding down B and waving the remote – unfortunately the chainsaw isn’t pulled off as well as it could have, as the controller doesn’t rumble when it’s active and no chainsaw noise comes out from the speaker.

The nunchuck’s motion sensor is used for taunting, which feels good when someone hits your car and it’s not your fault. The taunt is also mapped to a quick press of the A-button, which you hold to run. On a few occasions, Tony taunted (and he walks very slowly while taunting) when I wanted to run, but most of the time it works well. Speaking of driving, the layout of the Wii Remote & Nunchuck makes driving around randomly very relaxing, as your hands are not cooped up together. Aiming while driving is also made possible thanks to the remote – acceleration, turning, aiming and shooting is simply impossible on traditional controllers.

The missions in Scarface are split up into three main types. First are the standard missions you select from Tony’s satellite phone. There’s a bit of variation, but before too long you’ve done most of the different types. Some involve beating someone up, finding a gang hideout and killing them all; others require you protecting someone; basically they all require driving somewhere and shooting people, then driving away. The variation improves as you purchase a driver, enforcer and assassin – you can take control of each one and perform missions that are specific to each one. Completing the standard missions will get you supplies of cocaine, which you can sell on the street or to your fronts.

Fronts are basically businesses you can purchase. Before doing so, you must complete a mission. These missions are quite varied. One involves protecting the store from gangs, another involves sniping a target and another involves ramming someone off the road, and beating him up to get something off him. After completing the mission; you can purchase the place to use as a drugs front and to take over each part of Miami.

The missions which advance the plot are more like a normal action-adventure shooter than a free-roaming game, and usually take place in buildings, involving shooting your way past a small army to your target. This is where having balls becomes vital. Tony Montana has a “Balls Metre”, which he fills up by shooting people in specific places like the groin or kidney (extra balls are given for not using the lock-on), taunting after you shoot someone, completing conversations with civilians (who you can’t kill when playing as Tony – it’s not his style – but you can when you play as the secondary characters like the driver), and driving Burnout-style. When the Balls Metre is full, you can shake the nunchuck to enter “Blind Rage” mode. When Blind Rage is triggered, the game temporarily enters a first person viewpoint, and makes Tony invincible and gives him infinite ammo. Killing people while Blind Rage is active also gains Tony’s health back, so it’s best used when Tony is low on health. Blind Rage is vital for the more difficult missions.


You also have to keep an eye on the “Gang Heat” and “Cop Heat” metres. They basically show how much rival gangs and the police want you dead. You can reduce this heat by bribes, or intimidating gangs and sweet talking cops. Both of these make use of a special metre – You hold A to fill up the metre (it fills up, then “empties” itself just after its full), then let go. The aim is to get the bar as full as possible – there are different “success” rates on the bar, so getting a full bar will get the best possible result, and an empty bar will get you the worst possible result. This is also used for many other things in the game – such as laundering your money in a bank (if you die, you lose all the money not in the bank) to get various rates (the bank takes a percentage of the money you put in for itself) – this adds a lot of immersion into the game, as opposed to simply pressing a button to get one pre-set result.

The in-game Miami feels fairly large to start off with, but the sense of freedom is somewhat ruined, as there is pretty much only one route around the place – most of Miami is one big road with some side-streets (that mainly require you to get back on the main road where you get off), others are housing estates which may as well be one road with a few side-streets. It looks rather nice, too, particularly in the day (thanks to some good lighting). The cars are sufficiently detailed but the character models, however, are rather poor, and there isn’t much variation at all.

Another aim of the game is to improve your reputation. You do this by completing the main missions and purchasing “exotics”, ranging from henchmen, to decorations for your mansion to cars and boats. Cars and boats that you buy are then available from the driver menu, accessible anywhere in the game, minus plot-developing missions, so you always have a car nearby after a quick phone call – stealing cars bump up your cop heat. Once destroyed, you have the option of repairing the car, but this costs money for all but the default car. The default car is the so-called “QM Convertible” (cars are based on real ones, but with fake names, as always for these games) from the original move – complete with tiger skin innards.

That’s another thing that Scarface: The World Is Yours excels at – it retains the feeling of the movie. There’s a massive amount of swearing and gore when needed. The main character model looks like Tony Montana, walks like Tony Montana and talks like Tony Montana. Even though Al Pacino doesn’t do the voice work, he also sounds just like Tony Montana – the sound-alike really does sound like him. Al Pachino helped to pick him, too. The soundtrack uses music from the same time-frame as the movie, and includes music from the movie itself, so the soundtrack is rather fitting.

So, overall, Scarface is a pretty darn good game. There’s plenty to do, and it’s a lot of fun too. There a few problems and a little lack of variation, but the game works very well on the Wii. If you’ve already completed the game on another console, don’t bother. There isn’t anything new here. For those who are fans of Scarface, as well as fans of the genre, it’s well worth a look. There’s already two similar games on the Wii – Godfather and Driver: Parallel Lines – but this one is probably the best choice. There is an awful lot to Scarface, and always plenty of different things to do. Miami could have a better layout in the game, but other than that there isn’t really anything the game does wrong. Besides, none of the others have its own swear button.

Yes, a Vice City clone in a way, but it’s actually a lot more than that and in fact, I actually have to say this is better than Vice City. I loved the Scarface movie, so I knew I was going to love this game too.

This is a fantastic example of you take a What-If scenario and execute it. I love the idea of Tony surviving the mansion shootout and rebuilding his empire to get revenge on Sosa. It’s so awesome to come back and take down all those other guys too, like the Diaz Brothers, Nacho Contras, Gaspar Gomez, and Tony’s scumbag of a lawyer, George Sheffield. The game has amazing progression. You build relationships with people on the street, you get the money, power, and the women, and you can hear how desperate and worried Sosa is with each passing phone call. This shows how Tony learned from his mistake and now the tables turned. Tony definitely learned from his mistakes in the movie. He’s no longer a drug addict and you can hear him regret killing Manny in some dialogue. Sosa still was intimidating, so his phone calls had my worried with how hard he was going to be to fight. I was right because his thugs were no joke, but killing him was easy since I went straight for the head. I wish there was more to the story, but you really do connect with the criminal empire aspect of the game, so that makes up for it.

Scarface was the perfect theme for a criminal empire game to take on and having this be a What-If makes the experience worth it instead of just having it get undermined because Tony died in the film. I love doing distribution missions and walking into the bank to launder millions of dollars into my account like a boss. It’s so fun and it really feels like a game a chance because anything can happen. You’ll have some good days, but there are going to be bad days too and believe, I had a lot of bad days, either me getting killed from a freaking chainsaw (God, I hate those things in this game), getting ambushed from a pissed off gang, or having the car blow up with all the money and drugs in there. This game really captures how hard it is to build a criminal empire and I love it. At first, you have to get cocaine from small-time drug dealers, but by the end, you grow it. You have to get money to buy things and it’s thrilling once you get everything. You have an entire criminal empire, you got revenge on everyone, you own so much stuff, and you have sexy bodyguards once you get 100%. The only problem I have with this aspect of the game is that some businesses get attacked way too often, such as the U-Gin Shotgun Bar. That place got attacked so many times, like who would want to go there now that it’s the most dangerous bar in Miami? Same with Cabana Cigar. I mean, come on, do people really hate that place so much? I also feel the cops are way too aggressive in this game. They can get to the point where they’ll just kill you. And it’s just over a car chase most of the time.

There’s something about the gameplay that makes it so addicting. Tony’s superpower move is really badass because you are invincible and you can kill anyone in seconds without losing bullets. Tony is like the grandfather of Trevor from GTA 5. This game is really crazy. You can shoot off someone’s left nut with a SAW from a distance. I love how different each gun feels so that you can get your own style of what you want. For me, I chose a SAW because that thing obliterates. You also get to taunt your victims and feel awesome. The Pimp Your Mansion feature was an interesting idea, but your items you place down despawn and you have to rebut them and unique items can’t be rebought. If you want a house designing game, just play Sims and make the Scarface mansion there. You also can’t jump, but there’s not really a need to do it in this game, but if there is ever a remaster, it should be added in there. The textures have seen better days, but at least they have that realistic impression. Besides, there’s a mod for PC players that can update the textures. The suits you can wear are awesome. I wish we had more to chose from than what we see in the movie, but it’s fine. There’s an issue with the frame rate switching from smooth to clippy, it doesn’t take away from the experience because the game still works just as fine.

The voice actors did an excellent job at their roles. There’s no way anyone can replace Al Pacino as Tony Montana, but Andre Sogliuzzo did a great job in the role. He was handpicked by Pacino and it’s clear he made the right choice because sometimes, I think it’s Pacino saying the lines. I could say the same thing for Robert Davi as Sosa. He was really intimidating in the role and such a worthy replacement for Paul Shenar. I like that this game finds a way to get Steven Bauer in the mix without him playing Manny since he’s dead, so he plays The Sandman, another drug empire kingpin that helps you get to Sosa. Robert Loggia, who played Frank in the movie, provides some great narration for the first time you enter a business that you’re about to buy.

This game has such an excellent soundtrack too. Along with the movie OST, there is a lot more. Definitely as good as Vice City and San Andreas’ soundtrack in my opinion.

Scarface: The World Is Yours is truly an underrated gem. It’s a big chicken, just waiting to get plucked. It has nitpicks, but it’s the perfect criminal empire building game. The sequel would’ve been awesome to have since it would’ve been set in Las Vegas and it looks like it had better gameplay than The World Is Yours, but I could only dream what it could’ve been. I am still happy with what I got with this game. It definitely deserves a remaster because this game is such an amazing experience.

I was hyped to play Scarface the game itself, because of the brilliant movie and because of the 80’s Miami vibe. The beginning made sense but after 5 or 6 hours of playing, I got bored because of the storyline. Am I right that the most important thing to do is to take over various districts right? You earn money by take out gangs and sell drugs to gain more money. After that you buy businesses and do everything again and again. That’s what I understand. Buying businesses sounds interesting, but from what I experienced is that it doesn’t really reward you for the amount of money you invest in it. For example, when you buy a property in GTA Vice City, you get rewarded with your investment but in this game it doesn’t really make sense (correct me if I’m wrong). The best thing about this game for me is the Soundtrack and the weapons versus the shooting combat. Unfortunately I had higher expectations from this title.
