Link 843s Official Review:Scarface:The World Is Yours

Title:Scarface:The World Is Yours
Platform:Wii
Number Of Players:1
Genre:Action/Shooter
Release Date:June,12,2007


Well we all know scarface was very popular in the 1980s and still is today but now it has been made more popular with the video game! but now they have imported it from ps2 to xbox to finally wii i got this game the same day it came out and i loved it NOW FINALLY HERE IS MY REVIEW......



Last year's Scarface: The World Is Yours for PlayStation 2 and Xbox turned a lot of heads – and not just for its excessive violence. It paid tribute to the classic 1982 film while also continuing the saga of Tony Montana, giving players the opportunity to rebuild his cocaine-fueled empire. Scarface for the Nintendo Wii improves upon the original, adding sweet motion controls.



The plot remains the same. Montana loses everything following an attack by a rival drug lord's thugs and the arrival of the Miami police department. Unlike the end of the movie, however, he manages to escape. Three months later, he resurfaces, vowing to get it all back and become the "king of Miami" once more. Players guide him through every step of his destructive reconstruction, from dealing with small-time drug dealers and crooked cops to settling the score with rivals with unbridled, brutal force.




The gesture-themed controls work well, thanks to a nearly flawless lock-on system. By holding down the Z button, players can aim at their nearest enemy. They can move their crosshairs, aiming at specific body parts. Tony can either systematically break an enemy down by shooting at their arms and legs or go all out and take their cranium clean off with a head shot. Sierra also made a wise choice with gesture-themed controls for the game's guiltiest pleasure, the chainsaw. Rather than tap a button, players wave around their arms like they would a real Black & Decker.




During fights, players can either shake the Nunchuk or press the A button. Tony fires off a profanity-laced insult or launches into a cocky swagger. Doing this fills up a Balls meter, sitting on the lower right corner of the screen. Once full, simply shake the Nunchuk and Tony goes into Rage mode. The game switches to a first-person perspective with Tony screaming at the top of his lungs without taking a hint of damage. This gives Tony an advantage over large clusters of enemies. Getting into too much trouble, though, introduces more aggressive enemies and heavy cop Heat – but some players adore that sort of attention.



Driving also plays a huge part here, as Tony must travel to four different sections of Miami to conduct his business. Rather than use motion-based controls, players simply use the analog stick to steer, while also using buttons to accelerate, power slide and shoot at pursuers. The camera stays right behind the car during these stages, a nice improvement over the previous version. Players can also tap on the digital pad to look around, just in case someone comes sneaking up.




Scarface features first rate audio. Although Al Pacino doesn't voice his character, the sound-alike, Andre Sogliuzzo, does a superb job. His constant storm of swears and insults sound genuine. Other actors fill their roles nicely, including James Woods (as Montana's slimy lawyer), Robert Loggia and several others. Terrific music complements these performances, with tunes taken from both the movie and the era it was based on.

Well i would give this game an overall score of

                         7.0/10.0

RE: Link 843s Official Review:Scarface:The World Is Yours

Well done!

The only suggestion I can think of right now is to give individual scores for each section. Like,
Audio - 6/10
Gameplay - 9/10
Story - 10/10
etc.
It helps the reader understand why you gave it the rating you did.

But this is still a really good review! Big Grin GJ, Link! ^_^

It's a very good review for a beginner. Wink

It looks like an interesting game. I always liked games like GTA, where it's free-roaming. (It looks that way, anyhow d: )

Good job on your second review. I see you took some of my advice. Wink : D

Also, like M@gic said, individual scores at the end help too. Ignorance is bliss

RE: Link 843s Official Review:Scarface:The World Is Yours

Great review. What I'd say though, is lighten the load on pictures, and as already said, make individual scores for each category. 3 pictures will do, really!

Great review for a beginner though *thumbs up!*
