Classic movie Scarface says hello to the PS2 Finally a game that manages to combine two of my favourite loves: something based on a cinematic intellectual property while also being a wholesale carbon copy of Grand Theft Auto. That tone you are detecting is sarcasm, and my apologies for laying it on thick. Hollywood has been out of original ideas for years — has the same fate befallen the gaming industry? Scarface: The World is Yours sets out to be an homage to the 1983 Brian DePalma classic film and in many ways it does exactly this. Tony Montana is here, larger than life. He’s swaggering around and he’s cursing up a blue streak and he’s shooting a whole lot of people who appear to have crossed him. For some gamers, this may be enough. For them, the Scarface experience ends here, and the rest of the game just becomes a vehicle to revisit the infamous chainsaw scene, exact brutal revenge on your foes or hear Tony utter any one of his more memorable lines. The world of movie-based games doesn't lack candidates, yet it is deprived of worthy exponents. The same thing can also be applied in the situation of films inspired from the virtual universe, despite the fact that the detachment, in our case of simple spectators, originates into discrepancies. After the questionable example set by Reservoir Dogs, another product nonchalantly reveals itself in the broad lights of the scene. Its name is Scarface, in essence a "motor" meant to propel the already legendary fame of another charismatic and solitary hero, Tony Montana, towards a new level of interactivity. But the path to success is sprinkled with numerous obstacles; some of them have become part of the routine, and some born from the choices someone made.
Scarface: the World Is Yours Takes North America Sierra Ent. is set to deliver SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS to North American store shelves on Oct. 8, 2006, for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows PC. In addition, SCARFACE fans will have an opportunity to score additional Tony Montana merchandise and bonus material through a pre-order campaign and a special "Collector's Edition" of the game. SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS is licensed by Universal Studios Consumer Products Group. "Sierra Ent. is excited to announce that, beginning October 8, gamers can finally BECOME Tony Montana by playing what will surely be one of the most thrilling action games of the year, based on one of the most beloved franchises in film history," said Cindy Cook, chief strategy and marketing officer for Vivendi Games. "Scarface fanatics and action game enthusiasts alike are in for an extremely compelling combination of thrilling gameplay, a robust in-game soundtrack, customizable features and collectible bonus material that will transport gamers into Tony's world like never before." "SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS is a fantastic example of fiction extension in a game," said Bill Kispert, vp, interactive, Universal Studios. Andrea Meyer's heart is in the right place, but the basic fact is that money is not the same as speech (Letters, Oct. 25). If it were, everybody would have the same income and the same expenses. People with more money shouldn't have more say in politics. More important, large companies should not have more of a voice than an individual person. A star-studded vocal cast will now be complemented by an A-list producer in Vivendi's upcoming action offering, 'Scarface: The World is Yours'. Kyle Cooper, Founder and Creative Director of Prologue Films, was behind the title sequences of blockbuster movies such as Spiderman, Se7en, and Mission Impossible. Cooper will now try his hand at another kind of virtual reality when he produces Scarface's opening sequence, which needs to encapsulate the storyline, and introduce the 50 celebrity voice artists signed to the project, including James Woods, Ice T, Ricky Gervais, Bam Margera, and Tommy Lee. 'Scarface: The World is Yours' sees players control fallen drug lord Tony Montana as he tries to rebuild his empire following the climactic end of the classic 1983 movie. Sierra Entertainment Partners With Hollywood's Prologue Films for ... LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- In another step towards bringing Hollywood-level production quality to the Scarface: The World Is Yours video game, Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment division has partnered with Prologue Films and its founder, Kyle Cooper, to create an epic opening title sequence for the game on par with the biggest blockbuster films. Scarface: The World Is Yours is licensed by Universal Studios and will be available at retail stores in North America on October 8. "With a franchise as revered as Scarface, every element in the game must meet only the highest standards while creating the feel of viewing a Hollywood-produced sequel," said Cindy Cook, chief strategy and marketing officer for Vivendi Games. "By partnering with Prologue Films, Sierra Entertainment has ensured that the game's commitment to quality will be evident from the first moments of the game. UK Video Game Chart: FIFA nets a hat-trick Despite seeing a 52% dip in sales, FIFA 07 continues to hold strong at the top of the All Formats chart. The game is currently slightly behind the sales of FIFA 06, but there's still the release of the Xbox 360 version on October 27 to bolster the numbers. Scarface: The World is Yours debuts at No.2 and moves Lego Star Wars II down a place to No.3. Eidos' all out action title, Just Cause, holds at No.4 and EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 slips to No.5, but has the Xbox 360 release to look forward to on October 27. The second highest new entry comes from Championship Manger 2007 at No.9, in turn kicking LMA Manager 2007 down to No.15. Microsoft's Flight Simulator X also makes a solid start, entering the chart at No.19. As predicted, Open Season's movie release sees the video game propel up the chart, now residing at No.17, and Vivendi's World of Warcraft makes a chart re-entry at No.33. Xbox Review: Scarface - The World is Yours Becoming the longest alternate ending in the history of the film, Scarface - The World is Yours starts at the end of the movie. As venerable Tony Montana, players break out of the drug lord's mansion instead of falling face first into a puddle of blood. Losing everything, Tony starts over from the bottom rung of the Miami drug scene, and it's up to the player to gain it all back. This creates an interesting scenario for a movie based game. Besides rewriting film history and completely changing the point of the movie, Scarface has a lot riding on it to deliver as far as the story is concerned. Sadly, that's the one area the game misses out on entirely. Scattered between countless drug runs, murder, escort missions and other various side missions is a story struggling to keep pace with the rest of the game. Tony Montana is Back as Sierra Entertainment's Scarface: The World ... LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment division is pleased to announce that Scarface: The World Is Yours, the highly anticipated video game based on the 1983 classic film by Universal Pictures, is now available at retail stores across North America. The game, which presents a sequel storyline that asks "What if Tony Montana survived the mansion shootout?" is available on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC for an estimated retail price of $49.99. Scarface: The World Is Yours was created through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products and is now available at retail stores in North America. "Say hello to our little friend!" said Cindy Cook, chief strategy and marketing officer for Vivendi Games. 'The World is Yours,' but do you want it? "Scarface: The World is Yours" dives into the world of the movie, but with a question: What if Tony Montana didn't die at the end of the movie and had to rebuild his drug empire from the ground up?I have my own question: What if the game makers spend more time and money on flash and voice actors than on the gameplay itself?That's the problem with "Scarface." It has a ton of big-name talent -- along with flawed gameplay mechanics, boring missions and so-so graphics. Voice talent is great, but not at the expense of the game itself. Scarface: The World Is Yours: Already out in some stores, this is the long-in-development PC-PS2-Xbox open world action game from Radical and Vivendi that's based on the classic 1983 gangster flick. Mortal Kombat Armageddon: Midway says good bye to current gen consoles for this fighting game series for the PS2 and Xbox featuring all of the MK fighters and the ability to create your own kombatant. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade This is a stand alone expansion pack to Relic and THQ's sci-fi RTS game with the addition of two new playable races. God Hand: Capcom brings this "M" rated Japanese import PS2 exclusive action game to the US Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Yep, it's a PS2 Japanese import RPG from Atlus Software. Tales of the Abyss: Want another Japanese import RPG for the PS2? Here it is courtesy of Namco.
