Anybody bought this? i got it on an impulse buy yesterday, love the film, must say apart from the dodgy graphics, great fun, aiming works really well:)
 
I have it and think it's very poor. The Godfather was much better. I'm definitely going to sell it when I get the chance.
 
Put in a few hours and I think its pretty good. Like blueshift says it looks totally last gen but the controls work well. I'm using the 'expert' controls which allow for quicker turning of the camera but effectively reduces the wiimote pointer area to a small area in the centre. Its not perfect.. it can be easy to stray from the box and you end up spinning the camera round and round. The default controls are all slow and clunky like Red Steel.

The missions get repetitive after a while. You basically deal drugs on a small/large scale, raise money/reputation, and then shoot your way through enemy compounds. Still fun overall.. all bloody and violent :D
 
Ah i was going to ask about the control settings.
The Godfather i found really dull, even though i loved the films, Scarface though and especially the way the character is portrayed his little inflections , sayings etc is spot on, and makes me laugh just like the film, and i think most games get a little repetative

I had Godfather and traded it in for Scarface on Friday. Controls-wise I'd say they are about on a par. Godfather has those great motion controls for grabbing people and the like but Scarface's basic moving and shooting mechanics feel better to me. The free aim mode in Godfather wasn't great so it tended to be a case of lock on then choose which body part you want to hit, whereas with Scarface you can spray a machine gun around much more naturally and play it like a traditional FPS. I went straight for the Advanced camera option and while I did some spinning on the spot at first, after a few hours it felt quick and comfortable.

Driving is much more fleshed out in Scarface, helped by having lots of different cars compared to Godfathers half dozen or so that mostly just stuck to the road. The Missions seem more varied too - they still get somewhat repetitive given the nature of the game but I think less so than Godfather.
