Summary
Scarface: The World Is Yours plunges players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as the one-and-only Tony Montana, featuring the likeness of Al Pacino. Players are challenged to re-enact the climactic mansion shoot-out from the original film, but in the game, Tony fights his way out of the mansion and survives. Returning to Miami, Tony must rebuild his fallen empire and seize vengeance on his enemies. Scarface: The World Is Yours for Wii includes graphics and gameplay optimizations, an all-new control scheme that takes advantage of the Wii console's unique motion-sensitive Remote and Nunchuk controller design, as well as other alterations for the Wii audience.

My Gamer
Scarface: The World is Yours for the Wii probably won’t change the world, Other than using the Wii’s pointer to aim, it doesn’t do much that the Grand Theft Auto series hasn’t done in the past, but it does what it does extremely well.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
Drugs, blood, fast cars, exotic locales, swearing and Balls galore. We love it! [Sept 2007, p.83]
IGN
It’s just as entertaining and immersive on Wii as ever before. IR control gives the game a more streamlined feel, and Wii owners that fit in the hardcore crowd will absolutely eat this one up, as it’s currently one of the deepest and most entertaining experiences on the system.
Read Full Review >Official Nintendo Magazine UK
It's certainly not the most subtle game in the world but if you're old enough to play it Scarface is a joy. It's a shame it looks like it was made five years ago, though. [Aug 2007, p.84]
GameZone
It’s funny what a good control scheme can do for a game and Scarface for the Wii definitely benefits from the Wii Remote and Nunchuk swinging action.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Ultra-violent shooting, satisfying driving and a slightly strange business management sim, mixed with some admirably creative swearing. Not so clever but very big and enjoyable.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
If you are looking for a game with graphics to showcase your Wii then you'll be disappointed. However, if you're however prepared to look past the almost awful graphics then you'll find a real gem hidden underneath.
Read Full Review >Gamestyle
Few titles nowadays grow in stature yet almost a year on from its original release, Scarface: The World is Yours remains as strong and potent an experience as you’ll find.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
An outstanding game for Xbox and PS2 last year, but the Wii version shines even brighter. The controls work great, with players able to shoot specific body parts or wave a chainsaw around by maneuvering the Wii remote.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Between the excellent new controls and the already superb gameplay under the hood, The World Is Yours is one of the best games on the Wii these days.
Read Full Review >IC-Games
If you like Grand Theft Auto and can put up with a step backwards in graphics you’ll love Scarface. It might not bring much that is new to the table, but fans of the film will certainly love the idea of playing out the ‘what if’ scenario with one of the greatest films of the eighties.

Go ahead and fill up Sierra Entertainment's balls meter--they've earned it. [Aug 2007, p.84]
Thunderbolt
Being able to apply a world that has already dug itself into the minds of many thousands of Al Pacino fans is something that shouldn't be passed up on, and then giving those extra little things to be that Tony Montana with thousands of wasteful dollars is a joy. It's a world that shouldn't be wasted.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
It seems churlish to completely dismiss Scarface's many amusements just because of control issues, especially as they can be accommodated with patience and practice. For the bulk of its playing time Scarface remains an indecently entertaining bad taste romp and, for those who don't have access to a PS2 or Xbox, it's still worth having.
Read Full Review >Boomtown
This is a flawed but decent conversion of an older title based on a flawed but decent movie. That level of consistency is pretty rare these days.
Read Full Review >PALGN
An enjoyable game. The Wii controls do bring the quality of the game down a little bit though.
Read Full Review >Jolt Online Gaming UK
Ultimately though, the move to the Wii has done much more harm than the game could really take, with the control issues tearing what was a solid and enjoyable game apart mercilessly.
Read Full Review >Play.tm
Scarface is a great technical achievement on the Wii. It looks the part and provides all the required controls via the Wiimote and nunchuck. However, it doesn't seem able to do what all great games in this genre need to do, it never becomes more than the sum of its parts.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
It fails to match the sum of its parts. The drug dealing aspect is really the game's only defining feature, and with the rest of the game being merely competent in all areas, the Scarface licence is left to do all the hard work.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
There's nothing else quite like Scarface on the Wii yet, but the gamepad-to-Wii Remote transition has made this lackluster game play even worse.
Read Full Review >The Wiire
Unfortunately, the best aspects of Scarface are often overshadowed by the rest of the game, which can range from mundane to frustrating.
Read Full Review >1UP
It might be a worthwhile purchase to someone who needs an object lesson in how not to take advantage of the platform, but for anyone else this is just a more expensive version of a game that's been cluttering bargain bins for a while now.
Read Full Review >Gamers Europe
At its worst, Scarface is a clumsy, angst ridden and self indulgent idea with a game tacked on as an afterthought. At it’s best, it is tired, clichéd and derivative.

Jesus L. gave it a3:
Half of me wants to love the game. The opportunity to be Tony Montana, cruising Miami in a Lamborghini, cussing away at "hasas" or whatever he calls them before going into a blind rage with a chainsaw, all while listening to a mix tape of great music. Than somone sneaks up behind me and shoots me in the back of the head. It is not the dying part, it is the inability to just redo a side mission. I find this game hard to manuever and bloated. After a few tries, I was addicted to the Godfather, after playing Scarface a while, I wanted to join rehab. Sorry Manolo, I have to let choo go.
Simon G. gave it a7:
I bought that one at the same time as RE4. Tried both at the same time and after being uncertain about Resident Evil 4's control (now, I largely prefered the RE4 controls over Scarface's), I really liked Scarface's controls and decided to go through that one first. I played a bit with it. The mansion part is awesome; a lot of action where Tony as to survive in a linear scripted path. For me that was the best part of the game and that was only the introduction of the story. Once intro was done, the game switches a hard core sandbox game ala GTA. I don't enjoy GTA at all. Having to move around in an open environment to achieve sub-missions isn't story driven enough for me. But knowing that I don't like sandbox games, I can't blame Scafarce for being one. I can see the positive in that game. The controls for a third person perspective a well nailed. The balls system and rage mode are good features. Actually, in rage mode you play in a first person perspective and I thought it was better that way. The graphics are OK, PS2-Like! The audio shines, voice-overs by Pacino and Pacino impersonator add a layer of interest that no other GTA-like games have. Not to forget the huge soundtrack list. It's incredible the amount and variation of songs this game has and the fact that it's fully customizable. If you like GTA and own a Wii, you know that it's not going to happen. Scarface is a great alternative (I heard Godfather on the Wii is another good one).
Cameron B. gave it a9:
It's GTA for a Nintendo system. Economy-driven plotline gives you the chance to work through the unlockables at your own pace. Controls are absolutely spectacular. The Wiimote here proves that Nintendo has the absolute best control scheme. Aiming a gun is as natural as... well... aiming a gun! Wiimote > thumbsticks. You can buy cars (appropriately expensive), which will always be available to you, no more driving for two hours to find an Infernus as in GTA. Buying property is actually worth your while here. Graphics are not mind-blowing. Enemy spawning is poor (just like every other game in existance).
Keeton J. gave it a9:
Wow! Lot's of violence, swearing, and of course, cocaine! One of the most fun Wii experiences I've come accross. Lots of stuff to buy and kill, cars, boats, random mansion crap, and chainsaws! Loved it.
Jason F. gave it a4:
Meh. The Godfather on the Wii is way better. Skip this one and go for that if you like free roam.
Joel C. gave it a10:
Okay. This is a no BS review. Fan of gore in games? Look no further. This a the Wii's first truly brutal game that doesn't hold back. Lots of swearing, lots of gore and Wiimote chainsaw action. Lots of goodness. If you haven't played this before, just go pick it up, you wont be dissappointed. So much more than a GTA clone. Forget about Gamespots review, I'm sure most people are realizing their reviews are pretty messed up, especially when it comes to the Wii. Forget that, do the right thing, buy this game. If you dont believe me, rent it. Do it. Go.
Brian K. gave it a9:
Honestly this is my first enjoyable experience with my new Wii (except for Tennis, Bowling, and Boxing). But really, this is a great game for the Wii. Pick it up if you want to kick ass with Tony.
