Re: Scarface The Game

You have to be kidding me, Gamespot gave this a 6.4.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/scarface/review.html

they have an issue with the rewriting of the movie ending. That's when I should have quit reading their review. I'm guessing they probably played the first hour or something, when you can do felix leads and coke deals, then watched videos they were sent. They took points off for not being able to run wild and kill civilians and cops like in GTA...

at least the biased *** review site lets you see averages of what other places and readers rate the game. They gave a psp port of a GTA 3 spinoff a higher rating than this game.

sad.

Gamespot is a joke.

Re: Scarface The Game

Wich is odd because like I said you CAN go wild and kill peds and cops but can't argue with the getting away thing. I gave up on reviewers though. 90% because of the NHL games. Still good for getting an idea of the game but can't trust the scores any more.

Re: Scarface The Game

Wow, haven't most other places loved this game so far?

Actually, every review I've read has been **** except here and IGN. EGM gave it a 6, OXM was like 3 or something.

Sites like Gamespot except for IGN are giving this game a 6. But the gameplayers here at OS, TeamXbox, IGN, and GameFaqs are really loving this game.

If you have extra time, I would try renting this game and check it out. For what it tries to do, it's really fun and engaging.

I don't defend too many games, but games like Dead Rising, The Godfather, and now Scarface have been a joy to play while others didn't like these three games for various reasons. I guess when you get your enjoyment and top dollar out of a game that's all that matters.

Re: Scarface The Game

I'm loving this game. I played it all night and even missed "ECW" because of it.

It might be alittle slow at the begining (which is probably why the reviews are so low), but once it gets going, it's so much fun.

Re: Scarface The Game

yep, I'm up to my 3rd letter of SCARFACE and the weapons and missions awailable make it better. I've got control of little havana and now the stuff is getting good with me buying properties and doing bigger deals. The henchman stuff also adds more depth.

Re: Scarface The Game

The driver and assassin can kill people too.

I'm starting to see where these bad reviews are coming from though. My enjoyment of the game is slowly declining as I get further. The missions are getting a little repetitive but there was an awesome police chase mission.

How far are you into the game? I have actually received my second letter at the moment.

One complaint that I do have the more that I play this game is that when your driving around most of the streets only have one way of getting around and not multiple intersections. That is one part that can get to be annoying after hours of play.

Another complaint that I have has to do with the Mansion, unless I'm missing something. Can you save your progress somewhere in there as I can't find anywhere to save. It's as if they made the mansion kind of useless. You can go there for weapons and a health pack.

My biggest complaint so far is that I wish there was a place to restore your health by going back to the mansion or by purchasing food. It's a pain finding health packs.

Re: Scarface The Game

71% complete but I think that covers everything and not just the story.

For those that didn't know you can replay missions in the cheats screen,haven't seen it mentioned here.

Re: Scarface The Game

I played the game, had some fun, but I hate the timed "fetch" type missions and all of the driving missions. I'd give it a 7-8 out of 10. It's a good game and a great rental. I'm glad I got to play it.

go to one of the numerous blood banks. They restore your health fully. You can even go to them during a mission if you have to.

Ok, cool. I didn't know about them. Thanks

Re: Scarface The Game

damn, I was trying to kill off another gang and didn't expect them to get tougher weapons. I rushed in to attack since that icon is sometimes hidden when I drive past there. I got killed my head shot off and lost $100k.

oops. I guess that happens when you get higher up in the SCARFACE letters.
