Description

The Sopranos Game A mob war is brewing as Philadelphia's and New Jersey's most powerful families are about to collide. As the illegitimate son of "Big Pussy," you have been born into the organization and are now being given an opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty to Tony Soprano. As a soldier you must earn money on collections, protect your turf through intimidation, and gain admiration within your own family to move up in the ranks of the organization. Carry out orders from Paulie, Silvio, Christopher and Tony in familiar locations such as the Bada Bing!, Nuovo Vesuvio's and Satriale's. Storyline collaborated with show creator David Chase and voiced by the show's key cast members.

Features

PLAY IN THE SOPRANOS WORLD – Carry out orders in familiar locations like the Bada Bing! and Nuovo Vesuvio’s, gamble with Tony’s crew in high stakes poker and listen to an eclectic mix of artists from numerous musical genres as you make your way through New Jersey's finest neighborhoods.

BECOME A “MADE” MAN – Players report to captain Paulie Walnuts, as well as Silvio, Christopher and Vito, as they earn their stripes working for Tony Soprano’s crew. They must use their smarts to earn money, intimidate to create fear and achieve success to gain admiration and family respect.

PUNISHING SPECIALTY COMBAT MOVES AND IMPROVISED WEAPONS – The mob is known for using “any means necessary,” and each environment allows ordinary objects to become weapons. A deep visceral melee combat system adds a variety of brutal attacks, such as arm breaks and nut twists. Players can also inflict damage by leaving opponents with impaired or broken limbs, deep swelling, cuts, bruises … or worse.

VERBAL AND LOCATION-SPECIFIC INTIMIDATION – Players can impact storylines in real time by being hard or playing it cool when verbally breaking down opponents. In addition, they can enforce sadistic streaks to get their points across through the help of meat slicers, filing cabinet drawers and more.
