Amazon.com Product Description

The world's biggest hip-hop star, is back in an all new, fast paced arcade style third-person shooter for Next-Gen consoles. In 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, players hit the road with 50 Cent and and his posse, G-Unit, as an innocent concert tour in the Middle-East turns into a full-fledged war. At its root is a mysterious item that a local promoter talks 50 into accepting in lieu of cash. The problem is that everyone 50 meets seems to want to take it from him, so there is obviously more to this trinket than meets the eye. But what is 50's is 50's and he is willing to bring the hurt down on any and all comers who cross him and try to take what isn't theirs.

The story behind this game is basically this: 50 Cent & crew go across seas to take on a bunch of terrorists and steal back what that was taken from them. Yeah...not happenin! HOWEVER...as hokey and unreal as the plot may be, it's still hella fun shooting baddies and kickin @$$ with 50 Cent & crew! The mechanics of the game are are legit and the control is overall pretty tight. The action & game play are pretty fun...lots of cool shooting and @$$ whooping throughout. Any run of the mill shooter fan would have an enjoyable time with this game. It's maybe not as advanced as a lot of your war shooters out there & what have you, but it's still pretty cool, and utilizes the cover combat system, similar to that found in Gears of War, which works very well. All in all this isn't your most advanced, mind blowing shooter, but it still is a lot of fun...definite replay value and worthy of recollecting in my opinion!

If youre looking for a simple shootem up game with blood, lots of guns, and lots of swearing, then look no further. You play as 50 and you choose either Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, or DJ Whoo Kid as a sidekick. This game loses points for not being able to play 2 players co-op unless the other player is someone online, so you always find yourself passing the controller if more than one person in the room wants to play. Also there are no trophies in this game and the graphics are only okay. If you can look past those cons, then this is a really fun game full of surprises, and endless gun play. I'd rate this game 4 out of 5 stars.
