About the Game
The Sopranos: Road to Respect is a third person action-adventure game based on the popular HBO series "The Sopranos". In the game, players portrays Joey LaRocca, a young enforcer working in the organization of Tony Soprano.
Story & Setting
The storyline of the game, taking place after season 5 of the series, involves Joey attempting to rise up in Tony's organization and come out from under the shadow of his father. Once unlocked early in the campaign, the mini-game becomes available at the Bada Bing or directly from the main menu.
Gameplay & Core Systems
players are given low-level tasks such as money collection and body dumping at first, but the story quickly ramps up to draw players into a mob war between Tony Soprano's New Jersey crew and the the crew of Angelo Buscetta in Philadelphia. At its core, the gameplay is primarily brawler-based, with melee combos available and numerous weapons of opportunity, such as baseball bats, lamps, barbells, and whatever can be found at hand. players can also use the environment as a weapon, slamming the enemy's head into a filing cabinet or even pushing his face into a table saw. There is some firearm combat in the game, which uses a typical third-person targeting system. However players are taught early on that opening fire in a public place will cause a loss of respect from his peers.
Standout Features
- The decisions made here can determine whether players end up in a fight or are able to talk their way out of the situation.
- Another notable element is a poker mini-game.
- Texas Hold: players can play Texas Hold 'Em against Tony, Christopher and Paulie.
- If the respect bar drops to zero, players are killed by his own crew.
- Joey: At various points in the game during conversations with an NPC, players are prompted to have Joey act tough, play it smooth, or go somewhere in between.
Modes & Ways to Play
Joey is the illegitimate son of Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, who was revealed to be an informant and was killed by Tony at the end of season 2 of the television show. Each of these locations is modeled to look identical to the location from the television show.
