* StillbornFranchise: Vivendi announced plans for multiple sequels but those plans were cancelled when Activision bought out Vivendi in 2008.
* TroubledProduction: The game's development suffered from Radical being stretched thin between various ''VideoGame/{{CSI}}'' projects, ''VideoGame/CrashTagTeamRacing'' and ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleHulkUltimateDestruction''. A behind closed doors showing of the game at E3 2005 was knocked for its dated graphics and uninspired design, and feedback from private pre-alpha playtests held that year were equally negative, leading Vivendi and Radical to push the game back a full year for an overhaul. The game resurfaced at E3 2006 [[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/scarface-the-world-is-yours-exclusive-hands-on/1100-6146759/ to better reactions]] and released later that year.

** Elvira was planned to be in the game but was cut early in development when Creator/MichellePfeiffer wanted nothing to do with it.

---> "I wanted to kick off the game with Tony sitting in the tub, talking to a group of movie studio executives. He's saying "[[RiseAndFallGangsterArc Why does the bad guy have to always die at the end?]] [[DefiedTrope Well, fuck you! You die!]]" and then he pulls out a machine gun and blows them all away! And then he escapes from the mansion! But Vivendi Universal wouldn't do it."
** The game files have a ''lot'' of unused lines for Tony, some of which are dialogue for features and missions that were cut from the final game.

** Originally, ''Scarface: The World is Yours'' was intended to be a straight adaptation of the original film but was quickly abandoned by the developers for two reasons, (1) They felt it was too good to replicate in video game format and (2) They knew that players wouldn't care for Tony Montana since he canonically dies at the end of the movie. So, the game was reimagined as a sequel to ''Scarface'' focusing on Tony surviving the shootout with Sosa's henchmen and plotting his revenge.
