So a few years back I was itching to get back into Scarface: The World is Yours, a PS2 game from 2006 which was also cross-platform. I found some fan-made patches that made it work on my PC... sort of, with a lot of game-crashing stuff. I couldn't get into it much as such. Now I guess these dudes made a full-on remaster in 4K with tons of textures and skins replaced just about a year ago and they've refined it. Bug free! I've been playing it a bit and it's great!

It looks more or less like a new game as long as you don't look too long at things like fingers, but it appears to be bug free. This is pretty incredible. Yes, it kind of highlights the limitations of the game at the time, but it also makes it shine so much. Also little touches are added that weren't in the original game like now they have the pictures of Michelle Pfieffer in the mansion, and real posters that would have been on the wall of the theater.

For those unfamiliar with this game, it starts at the end of the movie when Tony gets blasted by the Bolivian from behind.... but it lets you turn around and blast him instead. And then escape the mansion, rebuild your empire, and go and get revenge on Sosa.

I always wanted to play this game. I don't care much about the remaster though because graphics don't matter that much to me. I do intend to buy this game eventually since I am a big Scarface fan. I'll probably end up getting the Wii version.

Huh, I forgot there was a Wii version. Depending on how they did it, I'd wager that'd be a fun way to play the game. Driving might be a little not great, with the Wii controls.

I might get the PS2 version. It all depends on which one is cheaper. Does Sosa send more soldiers after Tony Montana?

Strangely, no. Most of the game is spent clearing out the other gangsters in Miami, like Gaspar Gomez and the Diaz Brothers. Tony brings the fight to Bolivia and Sosa himself at the end of the game.

The weird things is... eh, even if he could claim all those dozens of Bolivians killed around the mansion were all in self defense, Tony would still be going down for years for all of that tax evasion stuff they got him on in the movie. Sosa was going to help get him out of it all but Tony hardly held up his end of the bargain.

Yeah, the game is probably purely hypothetical just to make it fun and interesting to live as Tony Montana. That is cool that they use gangsters whose names were mentioned in the film.

And this was back when they were hiring big actors to do voice acting parts for video games. There's stuff like Cheech as Gaspar Gomez and so on.

So I am a little over halfway into this game and it is amazing. This game is gigantic. I love how you can walk up to almost anybody and have a conversation with them. Unfortunately I got the wii version because it was cheaper and it makes my wrists hurt. That's about the only flaw though. This is one of the best licensed games ever made in my opinion.

Dude, get the PC version and install the upgrade mod. It looks like a 2024 game now.

Too much work. Plus I don't want to start the game over.

It's 1000% worth it. Plays in full widescreen, 4K. The effects and lighting and textures are like it's a whole new game. They redid/enhanced even the faces and everything.

Maybe next time I play the game. I already invested at least 25 hours into it so far.

I remember having this game on the original Xbox. I found out about the song 'Judas Priest - Breaking the Law' through this game.

So I finally beat this game. I was really loving Scarface until I reached the final quarter. Then it became very difficult and super grind heavy. I think that I spent more time grinding in this game than when I did leveling up 7 Pokemon to 100 in Pokemon Blue. I hated the reputation point walls. I also hated how my gang heat would skyrocket after every thing that I did. I still like this game, bit that final quarter kinda ruined my perfect perception of this game. I managed to beat it without codes. I recommend to anybody who is thinking about buying this game to not get the Wii version. It will hurt your wrists and sometimes the camera will lock in urgent situations and you will die because of it. I would give this game a score of 75 out of 100.
