great film great game
if u like the film youll like this game ,this is the same as xbox version but i found easy to shoot head shot with the wii remote .
a must have for any scarface fan

GREAT CONVERSION
This is essentially a PS2 game in Wii clothing - but for once don't let that put you off! If you already own this game on other formats, I reckon you should still give it a go due to the Wii controls!

Unlike other shoddy ports (yes, I'm looking at you FAR CRY), this actually feels very intuitive. You shoot using the Remote by aiming and pressing the B button, while the Nunchuck can be used for shaking and taunting people.

When the Balls Meter in the bottom-right corner of the screen is full, you'll go into Rage Mode, which is just a fancy term of saying blow the crap out of anyone for a few seconds. Oh, and you're invincible then too.

As Tony Montana you have to build your Empire back up again by doing dirty jobs for all the drug dealers, while doing side missions and driving through the impressively big city.

It borrow heavily from GTA, but it's the closest thing yet to the real thing that the Wii has to offer, and may finally get rid of Nintendo's "Kiddy" image.

The only complaint is the graphics, which haven't been updated at all, but it's still a fantastic, mature game the Wii has been looking for!

GTA-em-up for the wii that's just great fun
If you're thinking about buying this game odds are you're also wondering whether it will ruin any fond memories of the cult classic on which it is based. It doesn't. Tony's second roll of the dice in this game; rebuilding his empire and hunting down his enemies, makes for a refreshing narrative. After viewing the film I found it enormously satisfying to turn around and blow that sneaky assassin away!

Once you get over the initial plot details however, it will be a fairly familiar setup to anyone who has ever picked up GTA, with a few differences. Your dealings with the cops are pleasingly more realistic (avoid them, or you will nearly always end up dead), the mechanics of acquiring and moving on dirty money and drugs is actually quite fun, and most importantly- dish out enough well timed obscenities about your latest victim's mother and you will enter 'blind rage' mode. This is every bit as fun as it sounds and can make a real difference when employed at right moment in a gun fight.

There are some great set-pieces (such as Tony's return to freedomtown) which can be frustrating when you first encounter them, but oh-so-satisfying when mastered. The soundtrack's great but I do wish you could add your own tunes to the player as this could have been easily achieved. Tony is usually on hand to chip in a wide variety of naughty words when doing what he does, but if you do get bored try striking up some conversations with the fair (and not so fair) citizens of Miami.

There are some nice muzzle flash effects but not much else in the way of graphical eye candy, nor should you really expect it from what is a port of a 'last-gen' game. But, as stated, the gameplay is excellent and the control system is a breeze. Better, in my humble opinion, than GTA: Vice City, you should certainly give this one a look if you can.
