“HAVE A NICE TRIP!!!”
 
What happens when the world is yours, and then you lose it. Well it’s easy, you want to take it back and kill the person who took it away from you.
 
My mom died on the 5th day of the 5th month of 2005, the 5th year, ever since then my life changed because my mom used to always take care of the house, I never have lived with my dad. My mom was also a serious alcoholic; she always used cause trouble for me. My life changed so now I live with just my two brothers, ever since then my job would be to clean up the house and wash the dishes.
 
 
My big brother used to see that, and every so often he would give a reward. My reward recently was a game. I was relaxing in my room and then he walks in, “hear because you do your job and you kept me happy I’ll kept you happy” he drops the game on the bed. “It was $50 bucks, **** it was expense, and I got the discount on that to” (My brother works at Future Shop, so he gets major discounts on games there)
 
 
The game starts out at the end of the movie, you see; when Tony was suppose to die from the shot gun blast from the back. But in this, at that very moment in the game, you take control of Tony and due to our information in the movie, the guy was suppose to kill him, but instead you turn around and shoot him and continue on with the first mission, every thing after that is Tony’s life after the movie.
 
 
The whole point of the game is to rebuild his empire and take revenge on Sosa and declare war on all of Miami, which sounds cool and it is. You can buy a whole lot of **** for your file; you open your game menu, not pause, with the L2 button. In this menu, you can select Empire to do missions or work for a friend named Felix, and get suppliers for cocaine and sell it for a large profit. Or you can do story missions. You can select Exotics from the menu and buy things you can’t buy in SanAndreas, which is cool. Game revolution’s review can give you the details.
 
The music is nice, good songs from back in the 80’s, which I was never born yet.
 
The weapons are cool and holding it gets realistic in the game. You can only have a certain amount of ammo with you for each weapon and you can only hold three guns at a time, unlike SanAndreas you can have one type of each weapon and as much ammo. But you can load up from the back of your car, which you can buy in the game and go drive with it.
 
 
 
 
Scarface is a free game just like GTA and the graphics are decent, people say its crap but I personally think its fine there nothing wrong with it.
 
Its fun killing people and you can have gang wars, (not like SanAndreas wars) but it’s pretty much…war. The 187’s (drive-by’s) are awesome in the game, unlike GTA, you can only shoot from the side and not turn your weapon or anything, in this game you can fully aim at someone’s head as your driving and shoot them.
 
You can lock on to a person with a secondary aimer; you can try shooting the head or the body itself. Instead of having to blow up the vehicle to kill someone you can the just aim at the person and kill them with out having to blow up the vehicle. You can also do this on foot.
 
The game can be frustrating at times, but over all its fun. Miami looks gorgeous in the game and driving your boat on the waters is amazing, there’s a lot to this game then what I just said, but less then the alpha GTA SanAndreas. This is a good game and I recommend this game to people whom household can handle the swearing and the loud M16, (There’s no M4, I think it wasn’t invested yet) best of all your Tony Montana.
.
I’ll love rage mode, the more people you kill in style and taught after you kill you make Tony piss off and do what he did at the end of the movie.

-Gameplay
.
The Gameplay, my friend is nice and crystal, i personality love the action and the missions, there very intense and crazy, the first couple of missions, the battles are nice, the scenery is very nice oh wait that falls under graphics.
.
Mark for Gameplay: B+
.
-Graphics
.
I don't really understand something, my friend Shakk is telling me the Graphics are bullsh*t, but from my point of view the Graphics are better then SanAndreas. Please i hope i am not making a mistake, but i honestly think the graphics are excellent.
.
Mark for Graphics: A-
.
-Sound
.
The sound of the guns are definately better then SanAndreas and i think the noises fit perfectly, they also give you a fell to the weapon, I like it.
.
Mark for Sound: B+
.
-Controls
.
The Controls are nice, nothing hard, but what i really hate is the fact the cars are not touch senitive and so you cannot fully adjust the speed of your car like in SanAndreas. Its either your going really fast or slow that really sucks. But i do like the aiming...
.
Mark for Controls: B
.
-Entertainment and Life Span
.
This game is fun and can last a while, but right after you beat the game, thats it, if you want make a new file, if now then sorry man theres nothing else in the game, so the game is only worth your while while your in the process of beating it.
.
Mark for Entertainment and Life Span: B
.
+ You are Tony
+ Miami looks great
+ Nice 187’s (drive-by’s)
+ Aiming is fun…
+ Rage is Cool
- Can be cheap
- Nothing at the end, Ending kinda sucks
-There needs to be odd jobs or something to do at the end. (It would be nice)
.
Thanks for Reading
