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. "While featuring an original storyline and intense new adventures and scenarios for Tony Montana, it remains painstakingly true to its beloved source material. We are excited to deliver the game to fans, both as a high-quality piece of standalone entertainment and as an authentic addition to the SCARFACE mythology."
Fans who pre-order the game at participating retailers will receive a 24" x 30" SCARFACE print created by L.A. Pop Art, depicting an iconic film scene created out of the text of the original motion picture script. Pre-orders are now being accepted at participating retailers.
Additionally, a SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS COLLECTOR'S EDITION will be available in limited quantity for PlayStation 2.

SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS puts players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as the one-and-only Tony Montana. Players are challenged to re-enact the climactic mansion shoot-out from the original film, but in the game Tony survives. As Tony, they must then rebuild his fallen empire and seize vengeance on his enemies. The game features a Hollywood ensemble cast, a script penned by renowned scriptwriter David McKenna (AMERICAN HISTORY X, BLOW), sound effects provided by Skywalker Sound and a lineup of music from the 80s and current artists.
For the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, the game will sell for $49.99, and for Windows PC for $39.99. The COLLECTOR'S EDITION version for PlayStation 2 will sell for $59.99. Sierra Ent. will also release SCARFACE: MONEY. POWER. RESPECT., a game designed specifically for the PSP that combines turn-based strategy gameplay with realtime combat, this October.
