Scarface game announced

The new EGM has a preview of a new game based on Al Pacino's classic (and somewhat overrated) movie. Yes, you guessed it, it's a GTA-style Scarface game for PS2 and Xbox. I guess the game's developer figured that, since Rockstar 'borrowed' some elements of the the GTA series from the Scarface movie, it would be fine to blindly rip-off Rockstar when making their own game. Of course, what else could they do with the Scarface license? A 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up? A drug-dealing RPG?

Anyway, the game is a sequel to the film. How the fuck could that be, you ask? Well, according to the article, despite pratically OD-ing on coke and getting pumped with a million bullets at the end of the movie, Tony Motana does indeed survive (thus ruining what was a cool ending) and goes on to rebulid his criminal empire and plot his revenge. And he does it GTA-style...on foot or in cars, boats, and planes.

The developers (Radical Games) promise not to skimp in any way on the violence, language, or sexuality, keeping true to the spirit of the movie. They really pushed the fact in the interview that they want to shock people with the game's content. They're negoiating with name actors to do the voice work, but there's no word if Al Pachino's involved.

Could be a decent GTA clone, but I'm sure it'll be no GTA. No doubt all the Scarface-obsessed rap homies will be in heaven.

Anyway, I scanned a few pics from the article for your amusement. Enjoy.

I remember when Scarface was underrated...

I liked the movie, but it's a little long and slow in parts.

Although I'm left wondering HOW he'd survive all that (just look at the big bloody splash in the fountain, for fuck's sake- we need an explanation!), this still sounds like an interesting game with its revenge theme. Wait until the guy who had him offed finds himself at the end of that bazooka.

Too bad it looks like butt.

Funny thing is, EGM has a picture of what they think a Scarface game would've looked like on the PS1. The characatured Al Pacino face looked awesome.

He's a cyborg now. He runs on Jack Daniels and has a retractable machine gun in his ass.

Rappers alone will ensure this game sells in the millions.

It sucks that this game will sell thousands of copies based on name alone D=

Radical has already made a GTA clone better than 99% of what's out there - Simpsons Hit & Run.

I thought Scarface was a shitty movie, and the game looks like ass right now, but keep the faith! KEEP THE FAITH!
