"Lesson number two: Don't get high on your own supply." We've got that line in mind when we checked out this other video that's popped up for Scarface: Power. Money. Respect. We've already covered some of the other aspects of the Tony Montana's vicious lifestyle, like how to go Mano-a-mano in the game's shootouts. Now, we go macro.

Graduating from the up-and-close encounters earlier, this vid gives details on how to run the game via turf by turf - the small packets of territory each resident gang holds influence over. Like the quote means, you gotta make sure the people come to you, which in turn means showing the other turf bosses who's boss - you. Now, on to the video.

Yeah, it doesn't get any simpler by saying hello to my little friend (insert manic homicidal laughter), but as these gameplay videos from GameTrailers for Vivendi SA is a video game developer; formerly known as Vivendi Universal">Vivendi/Sierra's Scarface: Money, Power, Respect, the path to money, power, and respect usually involves overwhelming firepower. And foul language.

It certainly looks like GTA meets... er... well... it's certainly a turn-based combat system that throws bullets and bombs and warm bodies at each other. "Power moves" include snipers, grenade launchers, and yes, as IGN notices, the crowd-levelling "Say hello to my little friend!" that help even out the odds some. All in all, a straightforward menu-based and turn-based combat system.

But that's the point: it is straightforward. Combat becomes a battle of attrition, with opponents throwing more and more meat shields at each other until only one side (or what's left of it) remains standing. Lather, rinse, repeat. Then again, the real-world mob wars were battles of attrition, too.




Lather, rinse, repeat: more little friends at the full article.

  

UK, get ready for Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. as it is bound your way this November 17th. Created by Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment, this game is an example of how strategy gameplay should be combined with real-time combat.

Enter the world of Tony Montana as he rose to power in the world of Miami back in 1983, drug -idden as it was. Here, experience the epic as you go head-to-head against other drug cartels, until you have spread your bases wide enough to be declared as the ultimate Kingpin of the city.

For the story-based single-player mode, you will have to complete a series of missions that are lifted from the actual movie where the game is taken from, in order to conquer "turfs" in Miami. The challenge is for you to be able to handle larger territories as you go up the levels, as well as gain more foes along the way.

The wireless multi-player mode, meanwhile, allows up to four players posing as criminal cartels racing against each other for money and territory. Beginning with a "Land Grab", each cartels will lay claim to their share of Miami. Now, you will each take turns managing the production and distribution of drugs while carefully weaving your own strategy to overpower your opponents until eventually, you get to overtake their turf.

So set your strategies straight. This game will be waiting for you come next week.

This game pays homage to good old testosterone-filled gangster games. You get to beat up various goons, fast talk cops, go on high-speed car (and boat) chases, smuggle drugs, intimidate other characters, and basically make your way up in the gangster ladder. Of course, you get to reminisce some movie scenarios. After all, this game isn't called Scarface for nothing.

This game also features a multiplayer mode through Ad Hoc, so you can have some "good, clean fun" with your friends (and beat their characters to a pulp, in the process).

Have a great Fall and don't forget to check back with QJ.net for all the latest news on these games.

Looks like yet another movie/TV adaption has been canned on the Xbox 360 after yesterday's Sopranos. Now it's poor Al Pacino who has received a kick out of the promising next-gen future. Vivendi Games today confirmed that Scarface: The World Is Yours will not be released on the Xbox 360. "Cancelled" is maybe not the right word for this anyway, as a Xbox 360 was never clearly confirmed, but strongly rumored.

But, there's also good news since Scarface is now headed for the Playstation Portable. Presumably more than a stripped-down home console port, the PSP version will get a different name, Scarface: Power. Money. Respect. and will combine turn-based strategy with real-time combat. Players will be able to capture turfs (Hi there, San Andreas) and eliminate rival gangs and crime bosses in the single-player mode. A multiplayer mode is in the works too, allowing four players to take over the streets of Miami simultaneously.

We'll keep you updated on new info on Power. Money. Respect. as we get it. The World Is Yours, the original game, is now set for release on PS2, Xbox and PC in October.
