Overview
Scarface Money Power Respect is a turn-based strategy game released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. Vivendi Universal Games published the title, and Sony Online Entertainment Los Angeles handled development. The game expands the world of the 1983 Scarface film, letting players step into the role of Tony Montana or one of several rival drug lords fighting for control of Miami. Players take turns moving units across a map of the city, capturing territories, recruiting soldiers and managing cash flow from cocaine sales. The mix of strategic board-style planning and quick tactical shootouts during territory battles sets this title apart from other handheld games of its era. Voice work from Al Pacino sound-alikes and a soundtrack pulled from the film build a strong sense of place, while the cel-shaded art style gives the PSP version a sharp, comic-book look that fits the violent Miami underworld setting and matches the tone of the original film perfectly.
The game offers a full single-player campaign with seven playable bosses, each with unique units, weapons and home territories to defend across the Miami map. Players hire muscle, buy weapons and bribe officials between turns, then jump into third-person shooter segments when battles break out on contested streets. Wireless multiplayer for up to four PSP owners lets friends fight head-to-head over the same Miami map, and a hot-seat mode passes one console between players for local matches. Weapons range from pistols and shotguns to heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, with upgrades tied to cash earned from successful drug shipments. Twenty distinct neighborhoods, each with its own income rate and defensive bonuses, give players plenty of territory to fight over across long campaigns. The combination of strategic depth, fast action sequences and movie-grade presentation makes this PSP title a strong pick for fans of crime stories and tactical games alike, offering hours of replay value.
