NGamer has confirmed through their cover story that Scarface has been confirmed for the Wii.
Here's the scan.
I don't know if this is real or not, but this is some interesting news. Last I heard Scarface was a solid/decent GTA clone, and Scarface is one of those franchises that people NEVER expected to pop up on a Nintendo console. I mean, the movie is constantly quoted, made fun of and re-enacted in many adult comedy shows, through merchandise at Hot topic and many more. Scarface is indeed a popular adult franchise, and seeing a NINTENDO console getting it sure can be refreshing.
We got the Godfather, now we might be getting Scarface. Could this lead to GTA Wii? Time will tell...

Considering the type of game it is (a GTA clone based on a movie franchise), an overall 77% rating is pretty good.
But again, I haven't played the game. I just heard from my friends and forums that the game was at least a decent clone till GTA 4 is released.

QuoteMore than likely it's just an article about how people are forming leagues and tournaments to play Wii Sports. I think EGM had a similar article a month or so ago.

Shooting – a key part in most missions – is mapped on to the remote pointer, with players able to direct the aiming reticule around the screen, leaving a trail of Miami dead in its path. Moving your hand to direct Tony’s gun while your body remains still captures Montana’s steadfast mentality perfectly, that stubborn determination to stand his ground – an anchor with an AK.”
“The famous filmic image is of Tony standing in his office doorway, legs wide open, determinedly bolted to the floor with his “little friend” the M16 held firmly in his hands. On the Wii, players will be able to adopt this pose, spraying bullets as one with Montana – gaming and filmic iconography merged into one.”
“And what would Scarface be without that very implement that left said face scarred in the first place? If Resident Evil 4’s bag-wearing chainsaw jugglers got your gore-loving synapses firing, wait until you rev Scarface’s flesh munching baby into action. Chainsaw waving is directed with the remote, lopping heads clean off with a high swipe, or using more choppy motions to re-enact everyone’s favourite Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black Knight arm-putation moment. To add a cherry to the viscera flavoured cake, the remote speaker will even growl like a saw so as not to bring you out of the moment. Lovely.”

I get the sinking feeling this will be the PS2 version with waggle.
You say waggle like it was a bad thing, That "waggle" just mey make the game more fun to play.
I shure hope they add extra features like the Godfather so it can stand out a little more. Other than that I'm excited. It's games like these that mey make it so developers decide to bring more mature content to the wii, I mean it has a parental feature so they can't sue.
GTA for the wii is looking more and more realistic every day.

Sorry for bumping this, but Games radar has posted some impressions of Scarface Wii and they were very impressed.
5 reasons why porting Scarface on the Wii was worth it
That's actually how they named the article, and from what I read, they were impressed with how the game was progressing and loved the controls (they detailed how controlling the chainsaw feels really good).
Could Scarface be a lot like the Godfather in that the Wii controls actually make the game better than its earlier versions?

Well if what they say is true, I see no reason to doubt that the Wii controls will add to this game. What I especially like about this hands-on report is that visuals are BETTER than the Xbox version with more people, and a more consistent framerate.

The graphics look pretty good in this scene. The conversation however, makes no sense. ADULT LANGUAGE WARNING

They gave Scarface an 8.5.
How are the new Wii controls?

I finally got a chance to sit down and play Scarface: The World Is Yours. I honestly won't have an opinion either way until I can really get familiar with controls. Until then, I will continue to have camera problems (the camera moves with the Wii-Mote) and a pointer which goes out of range. I didn't get all too far (not far enough to save), but it looks pretty good for what we've seen from the Wii thus far. I went into this game thinking that it would play similarly to The Godfather: Blackhand Edition and from the short time I've spent with it, it feels completely different.
So far, the game is quite entertaining. During the initial training mission, I was LOL when I saw "left nut" appear on the screen and I realized that is where I had just shot an enemy. Great stuff. At this point, I'd say if this game appeals to you, it's probably worth your money. If you're on the fence wait until a few others get to play it and post additional impressions. I'll probably play (and post about it) again tomorrow night. Sorry I can't be any more definitive.

I've put in approx. 2 hours on the game...
The production values for the title are definitely top notch...the opening credits makes me feel like I'm playing something special...especially with the non-stop music artists it had scrolling for a while. The game is definitely not for the kids to be around...
The graphics are better than Godfather's...but so far...it is definitely early for me...I need to come to grips with the controls that sometimes is going all over the place...the camera moves with the cursor and can get stuck...luckily you can Z-target...
Folks...don't make my mistake...you can Z-target...it s'okay...s'okay mang...

However, the hand-to-hand combat in Godfather is still better. Nothing like grabbing someone and choking them out.
Gunplay is about the same.
Scarface separates itself from Godfather because there's just so much more to do. The RPG elements are deeper. The fact that using a boat gets you around faster is even better.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Godfather's RPG elements of taking over the rackets, but it got too monotonous. There were a few warehouses...but even those became boring and more of the same.
The environments in Scarface are better because there's much more variety. There's a shitload of alleyways to duck into...even with a vehicle...
That's it for now...
Don't forget to use a bank to save your progress...

Finally gave this game a rental, me and a couple buddies played it for about 4 hours tonight. Fun game, graphics are nice, level of detail in the missions is good. Controls aren't bad, took a little getting used to. It has an inevitable comparison to Godfather, and it holds up well in many respects. I donno, this may be worth picking up for the Wii, but probably not for awhile too many other great games coming soon.

Say hello to my little bump! I got this as a gift yesterday so now I can finish the game. Did anyone else ever get this game?
I have it, I traded for it last week. I haven't started yet as I had just finished Bully and I need to play through Mario Kart and Okami first.
I hear it is better than everything before GTA IV

I think what appeals to me in the Godfather and Scarface is the empire building and character customization. Plus they don't seem to have as big of emphasis on driving and since I don't like most timed races that's a good thing.
Scarface does have nicer graphics and music than Godfather.

You know what, I never thought about it like that, but I'd have to completely agree with these sentiments.
Post by: DAaaMan64 on May 02, 2008, 04:01:13 PM
Godfather was really great. I don't really like the GTA games (at least GTAIII and Vice City as the ones I've played) They're okay, but I never had the desire to finish them.

I love driving games, party of what I miss from the GTA series because driving in games really lets me feel like I can let loose. However, I still love the godfather and I think the empire building has EVERYTHING to do with it.
