  • Summary: Scarface: Money. Power. Respect is a unique game designed specifically for the PSP system that combines turn-based strategy gameplay with real-time combat. It allow gamers to relive Tony Montana's epic rise to power in the drug-fueled world of 1983 Miami. The game thrusts players into a deep and engaging strategy game as Tony Montana, where the goal is to battle and defeat competing drug cartels and conquer Miami turf-by-turf, eventually becoming the one-and-only Kingpin of the city. Featuring both single- and multi-player modes, Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will challenge players to make critical strategic decisions to rise from humble beginnings to directing an army of henchmen and hired gunmen through detailed scenarios of conquest and domination. In the story-based single-player mode, gamers complete a series of missions based on scenes from the original movie to conquer "turfs" in Miami. Players need to direct large-scale citywide strategic commands to complete their conquest as well as direct street-level real-time combat. The game challenges gamers to handle larger territory, additional adversaries and new profit-making opportunities through increased drug trafficking. The wireless multi-player mode pits up-to-four gamers playing as criminal cartels in a race to make money and conquer turf. The multi-player battle begins with a "Land Grab," where each cartel lays claim to their share of Miami.… Expand

    Scarface applies the exaggerated themes from the movie to a turn-based strategy game with surprisingly good results.

    If you aren't interested in learning the fine points of micro economics, then Scarface will likely bore you after three or four hours. The menu-based gameplay lacks the personality that you might expect from a Scarface title, and the game becomes elementary after you figure out the system.

    One of PSP's worst games. [Christmas 2006, p.98]

    Two things to consider. 1: It's a PSP game so it's bound to be crap. 2: It's a Turn-Based Strategy game. It's not similar to the console version. This is solely focus on the drug dealing. The game takes 5 minutes to pick up everything there is to know on how to play. The tutorial is brief and simple. The rest of the game is actually entertaining because it shows real movie scenes but with fictional gameplay and intergrates both into a backstory. The in-game combat is turn-based and has almost no strategy to it. It's mostly just pot luck. But despite the unnacetably hurrendous graphics, it's an addicting little game not because you want to learn it better, but because it's so god dman easy and simple.… Expand

    Not at all what I expected. Became boring after about 20 min.
