Scarface: The World Is Yours is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Radical Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows published by Vivendi Games. It is based on the 1983 film of the same name directed by Brian De Palma. In 2007, a version with enhanced graphics was released for the Wii. A port for the Xbox 360 was also being developed, but scrapped.[5]

The game is not a direct adaptation of the film but is instead a broad strokes sequel that changes the ending so that Tony Montana (originally played by Al Pacino) survives, and sets about exacting revenge on those who ousted him from power by re-establishing his drug empire in Miami. The game features Al Pacino's likeness to the character of Montana, but Pacino does not voice the character, as he and the game's producers felt his voice had changed too much since the film was released in 1983. Instead, Montana is voiced by André Sogliuzzo, who was personally selected by Pacino himself. Actors from the original film who did voice work for the game include Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia, and Al Israel.

The game received moderately positive reviews, with many critics comparing it favorably to both 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was also praised for maintaining the tone of the film, for its humor, and for the accuracy of the depiction of Montana himself. The game was also a commercial success, selling over two million units across all platforms.
