Keeping the content flowing in, the FiringSquad has also thrown together a preview on Radical Entertainment's upcoming movie-based Action title, Scarface. Here's a little something on the gameplay:

After those first two intro missions, the game really begins as Tony begins to rebuild his crime empire with small drug deals at first. Scarface’s massive open game world of Miami is broken up into several sections, each of which has to be claimed by Tony’s empire. In our demo we started by gaining reputation by simple missions like driving a van filled with drugs to drop off points in various locations. This increased our rep and money and allowed us to go to more missions. One of the interesting things about the game is the variability on how the missions might turn out. In a feature that’s similar to something that you might see in a golf video game, Tony has to convince drug dealers and others about his deals via a meter that you have to control. If you hit the sweet spot you can get the best money for drugs, the best interest rate for your money in the bank and get the heat off you if the cops show up to question you. If you successfully use the meter to intimidate others, it actually fills up your Balls Meter. Having that kind of variable gameplay makes Scarface a different experience every time.
