| Gameplay | 5 | | Graphics | 8 | | Value | 6 | | Rating | 6 | | This game picks off where the movie ends - but with a twist. As any fan of the original film will know, the lead character Tony Montana dies at the end of the film during a shoot out. But this game begins at the end of the shoot out with Tony surviving and the story begins with a what if scenario. David McKenna, writer of the movies American History X and Blow has wrote the story for Scarface: The World is Yours and has given fans of the movie to take control of Tony Montana and decide his own fate. Overall, Scarface: The World Is Yours is quite a boring game with poor design choices. The developers did a good job at bringing Tony Montana back to life but it isn't enough, and i'm sure the most hardcore Scarface fans out there will cringe at the thought of rewriting history. This game could have been great if it let you spread your wings, but instead ties you in with tedious missions and side missions in order to earn yourself a 'reputatiion'. As a GTA type game it does a good job without really doing anything original. There is alot of bad language in the game and violence but does not capture the humour and feel of Grand Theft Auto.
