Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The latest retro movie license puts you in the ultra sweary shoes of Tony Montana as you fight to build back your drugs empire and help to rewrite the ending of the movie with the help of your little friend.

The lowdown:
It’s hard not to think of Grand Theft Auto when you see this game, not least because Vice City ripped off most of the movie’s soundtrack and key scenes. Although it features lots of automotive carnage and third person shooting, Scarface does try its best to offer some new features, as you buy fronts for your cocaine business, launder money and slowly raise your reputation with gangs across Miami. Where it falls down though is in the story missions, which require you to complete a lot of laborious sub quests and often include some fairly silly objectives. The otherwise authentic atmosphere is usually just enough to keep things ticking over though, particularly for movie fans.

Most exciting moment:
The best part of the game is definitely the combat and the one area where the game is definitely superior to Grand Theft Auto. Aiming is helped by a handy lock-on system and there’s even a first-person rage mode for when Tony’s maxes out his "balls" meter.

Since you ask:
Although Al Pacino’s real face is used in the game, he hasn’t recorded any new dialogue. However, the game does feature original cast members Steven Bauer and Robert Loggia, as well as celeb voiceovers from the likes of Ricky Gervais, James Woods and Cheech & Chong.

The bottom line:
No Grand Theft Auto beater but an interesting companion to the movie.- HARRISON DENT

Scarface review
A good game. I have given it 5/5 because it is way better than the "grand theft auto" series, the graphics are great, and the game is alot like real life - you can by stuff like cars, henchmen, etc. It is a great game when you know how to play it, it is quite a hard game to get the hang of but when you do get the hang of it you will enjoy it. Its one of those games where you have on profile and have to save your progress at certain places, you can't go back to previous missions because it doesn't show the previous missions, only what part of the game you saved at last. The collectors edition features a bonus DVD.
