Several of the actors who starred in the original film (including Creator/StevenBauer, Creator/RobertLoggia and Al Israel) return to voice alternate characters in the game, while the plot and storyline builds on characters and situations referenced during the movie. The game takes several cues from the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' franchise (particularly, ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'', which centers around a sun-soaked city where the protagonist builds his empire from the ground up, complete with buying property) to re-create various setpieces and encounters from the original film in video game form.

* WouldNotShootACivilian: Unlike other games in the genre, you're not allowed to shoot at bystanders. This occasionally becomes problematic if you attempt to lock onto an enemy when a civilian is crouched in front of them as it will lock onto the civilian and prevent you from shooting. "Accidentally" running over them or catching them in the blast radius of AOE weapons is another thing though, and most of the time, they'll woke up and run away. It's also worth noting that the "no bystanders" rule only applies to Tony - switch to his driver, assassin or enforcer, and they're fair game.

!Warning: {{Late Arrival Spoiler}}s for the film ahead!

The game is a pseudo-sequel to the movie, and involves a WhatIf scenario where Tony Montana (voiced by Creator/AndreSogliuzzo) engages in the climactic shootout that ended the 1983 film, except ''this time'' Tony survives and escapes, returning three months later to build his way back up and stop Alejandro Sosa for good.

Though plans were considered by Vivendi for subsequent sequels to this game (including a sequel set in Las Vegas, as shown in pre-alpha footage leaked online in June 2022), no plans materialized, as the rights to the property were later transferred to Creator/{{Activision}} (and then back to Universal Pictures) in the late 2000s.



** Two of the exotics that the player can purchase are [[spoiler:urns containing the ashes of Manolo and Gina]], which can be placed in the mansion..



* DirtyCop: The two Vice cops, who in the JustifiedTutorial section below imply that the whole Vice squad is corrupt as well. Fortunately, not only they're (mostly) on your side (as they tend to ignore gang wars and Tony's territorial takeover), should you got to their bad side, you can easily sway the favor to yours.
** This is also the case with non-Vice cops too as there's a mission involving you killing a dirty cop in order to take over the Peninsula Lounge.
** This trope even extends beyond the Miami mainland too. When you reach the islands at around the game's midpoint and meet with Venus for the first time, she will point out that the law enforcement in is pretty thoroughly rotten as well.

* ItsUpToYou: For a drug lord rebuilding his empire, Tony Montana has to do much of the dirty work himself. Even the goons who deliver cars to him proceed to take the passenger seat and leave their boss to drive, and missions that have you take over a rival gang's property only give you one henchman (if any) to help you out. While players can switch to playing as the hired muscle, that is, except for a grand total of one mission, an almost entirely unexplained, optional, plot-irrelevant element.

* IWillWaitForYou: Interestingly, Tony's ambient dialogue in his mansion suggests that he still hasn't got over Elvira leaving him and is desperately trying to find her, as he muses aloud about her whereabouts at several points (and even [[AffectionateNickname affectionately]] refers to her as "Elvie"). When Sheffield offers to give him information on Elvira in "Freedomtown Redux", Tony drops everything to head to the meet and find out if she's still alright.

* BloodierAndGorier: The film itself was pretty violent, but ''The World is Yours'' cranks up the carnage even more. It's also this compared to many WideOpenSandbox games at the time. Even GTA, for all its notoriety, was pretty light on graphic violence (barring uncommon occurrences such as LudicrousGibs in one cutscene, HelicopterBlender in one cutscene, and LudicrousGibs as a result of combine harvester) with popping heads with sniper rifles being as gory as it got when using firearms (GTA III does have firearms-triggered dismemberment but only on the PC version of the game which was quickly overshadowed by the succeeding games). ''The World is Yours'', on the other hand, allows you to blow off limbs and heads with even the common shotgun and assault rifle. Unsurprisingly, the developer of this game went on to develop ''Videogame/{{Prototype}}''.

* FlatCharacter: You can hire and then play as an Enforcer or an Assassin for a series of randomized side missions. The former is good for a little extra cash and to lower gang heat (reducing the chances of retaliation damaging Tony's business and vehicles), while the latter is good for a modest sum of cash only. Both of those character didn't have as much as characterization as Tony.

Once you've bought one of his henchman (Driver, Enforcer and Assassin), there's nothing stopping you from taking control of them and going on a killing spree. Also, the chainsaw lets you cut off specific limbs, so you can either end it quickly with a decapitation or chop off their arms and legs, letting them suffer.
