Scarface: Money. Power. Respect.

Scarface: Money, Power, and Respect is a strategy game based on the 1983 film Scarface. Players must manage their drug business and expand their turf to rule and expand the drug trade in Miami, just like in the movie. Single-player scenarios from the movie or a cartel challenge managing one of several unlockable cartels can be played in the game. Each system has a different goal, such as accumulating wealth, constructing a certain number of structures, or acquiring rivals. Typically, there is a primary goal and several optional secondary goals. The movie scenarios are interspersed with movie clips. Most of the game is played on a single, fixed screen where a map of the environment is displayed, divided into different turfs with colors indicating who owns them. Players interact through various menu structures as each round progresses through three phases. During the buy phase, thugs are hired to fight, pushers are employed to distribute, and buildings such as labs and warehouses are constructed. The power moves come next. These advantages can be purchased in combat, drugs, and law to influence the odds and apply pressure. The final planning phase is the dealing phase, in which the drugs are sold based on the pushers and structures established in the first phase. This is accomplished by going through the available turfs and determining where, what, and how much to sell (cocaine, heroin, or marijuana). As a final step, the game includes a combat phase in which players choose whether to invade or defend against a neighboring cartel. Unlike the rest of the game, the combat phase is shown in full 3D, with the fighting thugs led as the camera swings around automatically to show the action. Turn-based combat is used, and player interaction is limited to attacking, defending, and using power moves. Power moves, such as providing grenade launchers or hiring snipers, can turn a disadvantageous situation around. Setting car bombs, killing reinforcements, or preventing the enemy from calling in reinforcements are other options. It is also possible to offer an alliance with a rival player during the planning phase. The multiplayer mode is similar but played between friends, each representing a different cartel. Three statistics distinguish each cartel. At the start of the game, players take turns selecting different turfs on the map, just like in the single-player cartel challenges.
