Scarface

As you probably know, (spoiler alert!) at the climax of the film Tony was shown getting his just reward for his criminal behavior and avarice, which was about a thousand or so bullets and a short plunge into a decorative pool.    It's unlikely that Tony lived to see another day, but that is exactly the premise of Scarface: The World is Yours. Somehow, Tony has survived. What's a deposed gang lord to do? Rebuild of course. That's where the gamer comes in.

With an original event-driven storyline, complete with historical events, by David McKenna and Al Pacino giving the okay to use his likeness, the game already seems to be on firm footing, at least in terms of laying the groundwork for a successful film-to-game translation. Also helping is the voice talent already tapped, including Robert Loggia, Steven Bauer, Cheech Marin, James Woods, and Michael York. There's no mention anywhere of Pacino adding his voice as well as face to the game, though the impression included in the trailers is one of the better Tony Montana ones I've heard so it might not be such a big deal.

It could be argued that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City culled most of its "inspiration" from Scarface; there are too many parallels to write them off as coincidence. Now it seems that it's time for Tony Montana to return the favor. If Radical Entertainment weren't at the helm of Scarface: The World is Yours I might actually be worried that the game would simply be a Grand Theft Auto rip-off. I'm expecting a deft mix of Max Payne style action, free pc games download shooting and Grand Theft Auto exploration of a massive environment, by land, air, and water.

If you've seen the film, you already know that Tony has a hair-trigger temper and to include this anger in the game Radical has included a Blind Rage Mode -- one can image it will lead to heightened health, aiming and fun.
