| You didn't delve deeper in the game, giving it a 6/10 is plain dumb.
Who says you can't kill pedestrians? Switch to one of the other three henchmens to do Montana's dirty work (driver/enforcer/assassin) and you can kill pedestrians with them.
The Empire Building aspect of it, managing fronts, moving keys, taking over turfs are far more engaging than what you were exploring in your review. Please re consider and play the game again ! |

| Oh come ON, grow a brain, my friend. Do you think players would really have been happier with a husky, rasping 66 year old man voicing the game's central character? Perhaps the developers should have invested in a time machine as part of their game budget. This is a dumb and lazy criticism. And the assertion that the game's "what if?" premise will "likely anger die-hard Scarface fans" is completely unsubstantiated, if what is meant by that is a majority thereof rather than a handful. There appears to be very little obvious anger on any of the Scarface-related message boards. On the contrary, the majority of die-hard fans seem to be loving the game. |

| "The experience isn't quite as seamless as it could have been, with load screens popping up from time to time (but not as you cruise the city)"
What does this mean? The game only switches to a load screen when you travel by limo to the far side of town or when you transition between the islands and Miami. There's NO loading between exteriors and interiors, unlike in many/most other open world games. What would the reviewer have recommended to eliminate the remaining load times - perhaps an infinite speed DVD streaming tech, or some coding hack that doubles the console's memory?
Here are some other suggestions for padding out future reviews:
"There was a lot of variety in the game, although I would have been happier with a playing area twice the size, and ten times as many NPCs."
"The controls are fine, although the controller isn't perhaps as comfortable as it might have been, and the cord wasn't long enough to reach my sofa." |

| There's nothing original or creative in this game at all, looks like the designers just ripped off ideas from other games. I'd say it's just a really bad version of GTA. What's with the pimping your mansion, is this MTV? What a terrible sequel to a great film!! 2/10 |

| I say if you are a scarface fan and your interested, then sell your booty for six bucks to rent it instead of listening to over-opinionated jizz moppers tellin you what THEY see wrong with the game. Really, playing it is the only way youre gonna get the full perspective on it. |

| Right lets all face facts here, San Andreas is a classic and a template for most Free - Roaming games but how is any other brilliant game going to compete with everyone putting it on such a high balcony.
iv completed San Andreas 12 times and know it inside out, thats how i know it wasnt perfect, but scarface is using wot grand theft auto games have i the past and is improving them so how can scarface be a 6 in this review.
Oh and grand theft auto didnt have a mission were u go round kicking people in the nads now did it. |

| I like driving the Bodog Stampede in the drive-in movie theater, just like in San Andreas. The chainsaws cool too, like in Vice City. I wish you could get a tank, but you just have to take what you get. |
