One particular issue they had with Grand Theft Auto is the large amount of fetching in the game, which sometimes has you skipping across town just to get a pistol from behind a dumpster. The team at Radical haven't spent the entire time studying Al Pacino's eyebrow movements though - they've also conjured up some genuine improvements over the standard GTA formula. We had to work around things like that to satisfy the licence owners.' He's not a generic thug, so you can't just mow down a bunch of pedestrians - Tony won't let you do that. We do keep a lot of the themes from the movie going though, such as Tony's sense of family and his moral code. 'While cocaine is everywhere, it's not a gameplay feature and the anti-drug message isn't a main theme. It may not be a subtle message, yet Weber acknowledges that little of it will make it to his finished game. But we've got new dialogue from Robert Loggia (Frank Lopez in the movie, now the game's narrator), and Stephen Bauer (Tony's compadre, Manny), as well as new characters played by Janies Woods, Michael York and Cheech & Chong.'īut surely what Coppola said about games trivialising their subject applies equally well to this game - what, for ice, of the movie's underlying anti-drugs message? Remember that Tony's sister gets riddled with bullets because his nose is buried in a pile of coke so big he can't see the approaching gunman.

'His digital likeness, the choice of actor to play him. 'Pacino approved a lot of things,' recalls Weber. Admittedly, he doesn't say Tony Montana's lines, but he apparently did pick out his own soundalike from a gaggle of 70 Tony-impersonators. The game is quite a bit different.Īnother thing Scarface: TWIY has that The Godfather conspicuously doesn't is Pacino himself. In the film, Tony Montana was first sprayed with semiautomatic gunfire, blasted in the spine with a pump-action shotgun before finally falling 20ft into a concrete fountain with little bits of cocaine dribbling out of his nostrils.
