Scarface: The World Is Yours — PS2 Buy it at Amazon

Buy it from InSound

When I first heard that they were doing a “Scarface” videogame, I thought to myself, “yeah but wasn’t that GTA: Vice City”? But boy was my cynicism out of place. Based on the movie but not retelling the tale, the storyline picks up at the shootout in the mansion, only this time Sosa’s men don’t kill you. With an all original script by screenwriter David McKenna (“American History X”, “Blow”), Scarface is fun and entertaining. Certainly built around the same look-n-feel as the Grand Theft Auto series, it offers a Blind Rage Mode, a Balls Meter, and a superb voice actor for Tony Montana who isn’t named Al Pacino. The targeting system is pretty interesting as it freely allows you to aim as well as lock onto an enemy. You can buy properties and turn them into drug warehouses, hire thugs to protect your property, and sell drugs via the property’s drug demand. There is a lot to do in the very open world of Scarface. Simply said, one of the better games of the year hands down.
