scarface the world is yours is nonsense.

The Scarface movie shows the rise and fall of Toni, the end of the movie leaves us with a moral: the criminal world does not bring anything good. Toni's death serves as a lesson and this death was caused because he did not want to end the lives of two children.

until then the PS2 sequel comes out in a universe where he did survive and is now a GTA clone where in Toni's shoes you must recover what he has lost, completely killing the message of the movie just because the lizard executives wanted more money.

The ball mechanic seems ridiculous to me, because at no point do I remember seeing Toni absorb bullets like a sponge while annihilating and insulting his enemies.

All this is based on my opinion, the game is not bad, but if it did not have the title of Scarface on the cover it would be another forgettable GTA clone like true crime

Near the end of the movie. Until he gets

I dunno. The message I got is that in the world of crime there is no place for morality. Tony's downfall wouldn't have happened if he just let the other guy assassinate the witness instead of shooting him and letting the entire operation go down the drain because there was a woman and a kid in the car.

I haven't played the game but it seems obvious to me that they had to make a concession like that. Probably wouldn't be much fun running around town if a single bullet could kill you. There are times you have to give up realism to make a more fun experience and this is one of those times.

I get what you’re saying, but don’t almost all games basically turn your character into a bullet sponge? I’d rather go with the explanation they gave for Uncharted 2: you don’t really have a health bar, you’ve got a luck bar, and the last shot that empties it is the one that actually kills you. Everything else just “barely missed.” Is it dumb? Totally. But it’s still better than thinking your character can tank eight bullets to the chest and keep jumping around like a ballerina.


As for the Scarface game, I think it’s pretty mid. The first half is fun, but after that it just gets super repetitive, and the whole rage mode mechanic is kinda funny to me, plus the fact that it shows you exactly where your bullets hit, silly but fun.
