Holler if you’ve heard this one before. Poor, yet extremely proud and honorable man comes from some back of beyond place to make it in the big bad city. Doing things lawfully just doesn’t work for him, so he ends up turning to crime. Pretty soon he’s got the money, he’s got the power, he’s even got the women, but unfortunately he’s also made a crapload of enemies who’re constantly vying for his empire and his blood and pretty soon, his unlawful ways catch up to him resulting in his unfortunate demise. Credits roll and the message 'Crime doesn’t pay' is shoved down our throats.
Standard Hollywood/Bollywood fare right? But check it out; what if there’s a slight twist at the end and the lead doesn’t die? What if he somehow makes it out alive to plot vengeance against those who tried to get him killed and took everything that was his? Then, you would probably get Scarface: The World is Yours, a new free roaming game from Radical Games that’s loosely based on Brian De Palma’s 1983 cult flick of the same name.

The reason I say Scarface: The World is Yours is loosely based on the movie is because the game starts where the movie ended with Tony Montana beginning to introduce people to his little friend, an M4 rifle. Unlike the movie, you actually make it out alive but unfortunately your empire’s been taken over by Sossa (life’s a bitch ain’t it?) and it’s up to you to get it all back; why? Because the World is yours, duh!
