This game was destroyed by the critics mainly for being a “gta clone”. However, it got better shooting mechanics and gameplay than GTA, there are more interactions with the NPC, it featured TWO maps (without counting the final mission), its voice cast was HUGE, the amount of dialogues gigantic, the OST featured an insane rooster of artists, and it really makes you FEEEEL like a crime kingpin (for example, instead of hijacking cars like a thug, Tony would call one of his henchmen to bring him one of his luxury cars, and then they would bring the car sometimes loaded with weapons and with a crew of boot licking bodyguards).

What particularly impressed me back then was the insane amount of different dialogues you could have with random pedestrians, which almost rivals today's RDR2 (not kidding), and I loved the taunting mechanic, which could also be applied in car traffic, a feature I've never seen again in any other game. The constant cussing and swearing during firefights to build up your rage also added a very distinct flavour to combat, and even though it was essentially a GTA clone, many of the gameplay elements were great improvements and actually ahead of its time, like the ability to call yourself a new car, an arms dealer or a hitman.

Vice City and Scarface both have similar qualities in scenery and era, so they just make sense to me to have fun with. Scarface introduced so many new mechanics that felt like Vice City 2.

The whole game is his final moments after getting shot during the mansion attack. At first sight it seems like you are just given control of the character and can survive the attack if you play well enough. However if you look carefully at everything going on you will notice that the entire story is just a hallucination. Here are a few clues I found: 1. When Tony goes after Sosa's partners on of them says "You're supposed to be dead. Sosa killed you." 2. Tony meets a man who calls himself The Sandman (voiced by the same actor who played Manny). The Sandman is a mythical character in European folklore who puts people to sleep and encourages and inspires beautiful dreams by sprinkling magical sand onto their eyes. In this case it could mean that Tony is "sleeping", is in a coma to be more precise and he is imagining himself getting revenge on Sosa. 3. Tony receives a catalog containing different product he can order. One of those products is a stuffed flamingo, but the catalog describes it as "stuffed pelican". In the movie Tony is seen watching flamingos on TV and he says their are pelicans. The reason the catalogue makes the same mistake is because it was created by Tony, in his imagination.

[@YAH2121]

Good review. The game succeeds at what it tries to do, its biggest downfalls being the ultimately repetitive gameplay loop, and the fact that when you gain rep and become a real kingpin with an empire of sorts, you still have to micromanage everything when they should've leaned more into the "empire" part and let you hire people to do everything while you do bigger things and manage the empire from the top. Basically a Part 2 after the grind. But that would've required a bigger vision and budget.

[@thevashfan12392]

@@agrippa2012 well, the only other thing is I was doing the grinding from like reputation 4~5 (whichever one that only nets you approx. 2 mil per full distribution) back then I think I only unlocked south beach and I was grinding for maddening hours but once you beat the game it's like 20~40 mil per full distribution which is a hell of a lot less hassle (IIRC the most expensive asset is like 300 mil?)

This game needs to be remade.. so much innovation went into scarface the world is yours like being able to play as your own hitmen, the customisation options, hundreds of ways to spend your money.. and the gameplay was just non stop fun, never got boring at all. If you get bored in miami for some reason just sneak your way into the bahamas lol. You had so much to do when you think about it, its just waaay too underrated.

[@flashholter]

I love the Scarface movie and I love the game as well. Finished the game many times and are still playing it now. It has many repetitive side missions but it is never dull, and if you're good at them you'll make more money fast and don't have to do them so often. The game world has more life and souls than GTA. You can pretty much talk to every NPC in the game. There are 8 levels of reputation levels and the NPCs will say different things according to Tony's reputation. Simply flashing a gun out in the public will alert the people and summon cops, and don't think you can escape by killing the cops, because their bigger guns will kill you eventually. The gunfight is the liveliest among other games. It's rare to see a game that counts taunting as a game mechanics. Every encounter with enemies is a new experience, with how they throw insults at you and you kill them instantly while taunting them to increase your balls, makes the fight a lot less feel like a fight against soulless AI. Shooting different body parts is another plus. Shooting games are getting boring with how they always target the head and it's getting ridiculous, at least for me. The game makes us have a choice of what body part to target, which gives the players different taste. The lock-on targeting system is unique. Though I rarely uses it, it appears to make the game easier and more enjoyable. One of the missions in the game is the drugs distribution mission and even if it is tedious it never lacks excitement and adrenaline, and it requires the whole game world map knowledge to master the mission and do it smoothly with minimum damage. And I don't see the need to jump. It makes no difference, it's still an awesome game even if the character can't jump. And reloading is a tactical move in real life. You get a full clip of rounds in expense of being vulnerable for a moment. Slowing your movement while reloading makes a whole lot sense and actually works as a challenge for players who tend to reload after every shot or two, reminding them that guns are not a bullet hose. Overall, it's an underrated game deserves a remaster.

The thing about the music being so hiphop-oriented is because scarface (the movie) has become hugely popular amongst a lot of rappers who saw tony montana's rise and fall and thought "this guy's a role model", and around the time the game came out there was even a remastered version of the film that came out, but which replaced all of the original soundtrack with hip hop music. People didn't like that very much so the next re-release came with the original soundtrack as it should be.
