Joey LaRocca: Punk. Lowlife. Purse-snatcher.

In the part of Jersey where he grew up, guys like Joey are a dime a dozen. As common as rooftop pigeons, pignoli cookies, and pizza parlors. One thing though -- Joey is the bastard son of Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, and he's got one very uncommon ally. An "Uncle" Tony.

Tony Soprano, to be precise.

Reacquainted with Joey after a chance encounter, Tony lets his guilt get the best of him and decides to put Pussy's kid to good use. It's not long before Joey becomes the newest member of the Sopranos crew.

Now, he's Joey LaRocca: Thug. Enforcer. Mobster.

But being the new guy is never easy. New guys have no reputation -- and no rep equals no respect. It's even harder when the only rep you do have is for being the son of a rat. Joey's got a long way to go if he's going to make a name for himself, and he'll have his work cut out for him. Cleaning up the mess Paulie's made with a local Philly crew will get very complicated. And AJ Soprano won't do anyone any favors by pulling Joey into a whole different world of trouble.

Will you be able navigate Joey through the pitfalls and minefields on the road to respect?

If you do, you'll end up as Joey LaRocca: Soldati, Associate, Made Man.

So what can you expect to be doing as you work your way up the ladder playing Joey LaRocca? Here's a taste:

Joining the family: You'll be just in time to lend some extra muscle to Tony, Silvio, Paulie, Christopher and other key Sopranos characters as they lock horns with their rivals.

Talking the talk: Verbal encounters throughout the game let you persuade your adversaries by either talking tough, playing it smooth or just being cool.

Walking the walk: Show your enemies who they're dealing with by using punishing special moves or just beat them down with whatever happens to be nearby.

Going back to the old neighborhood: Visit some of your favorite locations from The Sopranos®: The Bada Bing!, Satriale's, and Nuovo Vesuvio.

Turning the tables: Just because you start out at the bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there. Play poker with Tony and the crew, and win some money to go with your new-found respect.
