Vivendi Games’ (“VG”) Sierra Entertainment has unveiled part of the A-list talent that will help bring drug-lord Tony Montana’s criminal empire to life in the upcoming video game Scarface: The World Is Yours. Attracting an unprecedented array of Hollywood’s brightest film and television stars as well as returning cast members from the 1983 classic film, the hotly-anticipated game will plunge players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as they rebuild Tony Montana’s empire and seek vengeance on his enemies. Further announcements about additional cast members will be made later this year.
Some of the original cast members to be featured in the game are Robert Loggia, Steven Bauer and Al Israel. It’s reported that Al Pacino has lent his likeness to the game as well as hand picked the voice-over actor to play Tony Montana. Other names to be involved with the game include James Woods, Robert Davi, Ice-T, Oliver Platt, Jay Mohr, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Jason Mewes, Wilmer Valderrama, Richard Roundtree, Tiny Lister and Tommy Lee.

I find it sad that Pacino wouldn’t give his voice, and pitched a bitch about not allowing his likeness in the Godfather game, yet when it is a game where his character is the focus he is all for it. Especially considering how well done, and well received (from what I have read and played) The Godfather game was, this just seems like a cheap attempt to hop on the bandwagon.
