I just purchased Scarface for the PS2. Ladies and gentlemen, this game is fantastic. If you liked any of the Grand Theft Auto games your gonna love this game. It’s more violent, it has more humor, and the overall plot (so far) is better. The game starts off during the last scene of the movie where Tony Montana is fighting off Sosa’s goons as they invade his property. But unlike the movie, I am Tony Montana and I am very aware of how Tony died in the movie. He was killed by being shot in the back with a shotgun as he over looked his staircase. With me in control the man holding the shotgun didn’t have a chance and this is where the game begins. Instead of just following the movies plot, the game continues from the end of the movie as if Tony Montana never died. Instead his entire empire is taken from him and he must try and regain it back. I’m currently going around selling drugs and buying up property that will help me sell more drugs. All while taking out rival gangs, making contacts with various drug smugglers, and avoiding/bribing/fast talking the police.

I can tell that there was a lot of care put into this game and they tried to hit every detail. They even used real actors and assembled a pretty recognizable cast. They have a lot of the original actors doing the voices for the game plus here is a list of some additional actors who are in the game: James Woods (Casino); Robert Davi (Die Hard); Michael Rapaport (Beautiful Girls, The War at Home); Ice T (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit); Oliver Platt (The Ice Harvest); Jay Mohr (Jerry Maguire); Miguel Sandoval (Jurassic Park, Medium); Daniel Dae Kim (Lost); Willa Holland (The O.C.); Roma Maffia (Nip/Tuck); Robert LaSardo (Nip/Tuck); Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives); NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, Jr.; Cheech Marin (From Dusk ‘Til Dawn); Ricky Gervais (The Office); Michael York (Austin Powers films); Michael Rooker (Slither); Tommy Chong (Cheech & Chong movies); Jason Mewes (Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back); Anthony Anderson (Hustle & Flow); Rick Yune (Die Another Day); Wilmer Valderrama (That 70s Show); Entourage’s Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara; Richard Roundtree (Shaft); Tiny Lister (Next Friday); Bai Ling (Lords of Dogtown); Bam Margera (Viva La Bam); Cree Summer (Drawn Together); rapper N.O.R.E.; Tommy Lee; Cypress Hill’s B. Real and Sen Dog; and Elliott Gould (Ocean’s Eleven & Twelve).

Basically, this is a very cool game and anyone who enjoyed the GTA series will love this game.
