The downside to the “Balls Meter” is that it can either make missions too easy or abnormally hard. Once the meter is filled, you can enter a special “rage” mode that grants you invulnerability and unlimited ammo for a short span of time. As you go about your business, taking unnecessary risks, performing well in combat or taunting opponents will fill up the meter. You’ll also have to hire goons to keep your interests protected.Īnother original element found in Scarface is the “Balls Meter”, which is meant to represent the insane amount of punishment Tony is able to take in the movie.

You’ll have to make sure each of your businesses is receiving the right amount of stock as well as making sure you don’t over-saturate the market. Instead, each property you own carries with it certain responsibilities. Buying property gives you more than a timed influx of cash and a place to save. Keeping your empire intact is just as hard as reclaiming it. Once you begin to retake Tony’s empire, Scarface opens up to being more than an open-ended action game. Living up to the developer’s idea of having you “play” as Tony, all of the missions you accomplish as you try to retake Miami are for Tony’s benefit alone. Every mission connects to the larger picture in one way or another, giving the entire game a more cohesive feel. In addition to breaking away from story comparisons, Scarface also makes a number of changes to the traditional GTA formula. Playing through the game doesn’t require that you’ve seen the film, but it does help when trying to make connections to some characters and events. From here, the plot is more of a general outline for accomplishing the goal of retaking Tony’s criminal empire. Tony manages to escape, but is left with nothing.

In order to escape a simple retelling of the movie’s plot, Scarface picks up at the end of the movie during the film's epic shootout. While other games have managed to somewhat escape GTA’s shadow, Scarface has the added pressure of Vice City, which more or less cribbed parts of the movie for the game’s plot.

Though the license of a successful movie brings with it a fair amount of pressure, the presence of the Grand Theft Auto series makes it hard for anyone to break into the genre. Fans of the movie will even be able to pick out notable locations from the movie.

Miami is just as flashy in the game as in the movie and, though it doesn’t completely recreate the city, it is still recognizable. Though Tony has obviously received the most attention, the rest of the game looks good. The rest of the game’s cast, which includes the talents of Robert Loggia, Michael Rappaport and Cheech Marin, also does a great job. Tony’s digital counterpart is just as great and manages to capture every minor tick and gesture seen in the movie. The in-game version of Tony is a dead ringer for the movie version, right down to the smallest of details. Though Al Pacino doesn’t provide the voice work for Tony, the stand-in is spot-on in his portrayal. It is hard to find someone who can’t do a Tony impersonation, but most range anywhere from bad to awful. One of my greater fears for Scarface was the voice work - in particular, Tony Montana.

But, the guys and gals over at Radical Entertainment saw potential and managed to put together a game that provides a fun, open experience while remaining true to the source material. My reaction to the announcement of Scarface: The World is Yours was the same as my reaction to The Godfather, “Why?” As much as I love both movies, neither seemed to scream for video game adaptations.
