The Sopranos: Road to Respect delivers a unique storyline collaborated with show creator David Chase and voiced by several key cast members, including James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Steven Van Zandt, Tony Sirico, Vincent Pastore, Joe Gannascoli and Robert Iler. In the game, a mob war is brewing after the murder of the Philadelphia boss' nephew, and the Sopranos crew has been named the culprit. Playing as Joey LaRocca, the illegitimate son of the late Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, players have an opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty to Tony Soprano and become a "made" man by moving up within the ranks of his organization. They carry out orders in familiar locations like the Bada Bing., Satriale's and Nuovo Vesuvio's, gamble in high stakes poker and report to Paulie, Silvio, Christopher and Vito as they seek admiration and family respect. A deep visceral combat system adds a variety of brutal attacks, and each environment allows ordinary objects to become weapons. Players can also impact storylines in real time by being confrontational or keeping their cool when verbally intimidating others. The Sopranos: Road to Respect limited edition includes an exclusive "making of the game" DVD that gives viewers a behind the scenes look at game development, actor interviews, voiceover recordings, location shoots and more. The collector's edition also includes a commemorative booklet and limited edition poster.
