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.
