Rockstar games has since its introduction of Grand Theft Auto III ruled the roost as far as sandbox genre games is concerned, however, asides from the fantastic game Bully (or Canis Canem) the Wii very much lacks this style of game within its library. In answer to this rather lacking section of the Wii gaming experience the software developers Radical Entertainment have come to the rescue with Scarface: The World is Yours, and in doing so have provided us Wii users with something to quench our thirst for a game with very little limits.

Time for a Sequel

The game basically starts where the movie ended, however, with one small but, very important detail change, that being that Tony Montana doesn’t die in the end but, instead manages to escape the mansion by the skin of his teeth.

However, in escaping from the mansion Tony loses everything and is left penniless and in pretty bad shape, this losing of everything gives the game a great basis to start from as you, as Tony, are charged with rebuilding the Montana drug cartel and taking control of the world, well Miami at least.

The game was originally developed for the PS2, Xbox and PC back in 2006, so graphically we are not talking about a masterpiece here, but certainly for its time the graphics looked pretty decent and would stand up to most other games out on the market at the time. The Wii version of the game came about one year later, and as with a number of other games that have been ported onto the Wii system the graphics are really left as they are, due to the Wii’s lower graphical capabilities in comparison to the other gaming systems on the market, like the PS3 and Xbox 360. This being said though, the game setting is very well rendered, and a great deal of attention has been paid to the overall look of the city of Miami and its population. The only thing I found a bit poor was the lack of a multitude of NPC’s loitering around like you would find in other games like the GTA series, this lack
