A port for the Xbox 360 was also being developed, but scrapped. 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.

Third-person (video Games)
In video games, third-person (also spelled third person) is a graphical perspective rendered from a fixed distance behind and slightly above the player character. This viewpoint allows players to see a more strongly characterized avatar and is most common in action games and action adventure games. Games with this perspective often make use of positional audio, where the volume of ambient sounds varies depending on the position of the avatar. Camera systems There are primarily three types of camera systems in games that use a third-person view: the "tracking camera systems" in which the camera simply follows the player's character; the "fixed camera systems" in which the camera positions are set during the game creation; and the "interactive camera systems" that are under the player's control. Simple tracking cameras follow the characters from behind, and were common in early 3D games such as '' Crash Bandicoot'' or ''Tomb Raider'' since it is very simple to implement. Howeve ...
