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, payers 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 Cent Blood on the Sand is a Must Buy! February 27, 2009

By etoybizcom

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand the day it was released. And I must say that it was a solid purchase.

From the moment I opened the package and slipped the disc into my Xbox 360, I was drawn into the action. Simply put, I just could not stop playing, not even for dinner.

The game does have a built in map, via an on screen pointer system that is very efficient and trustworthy. In other words, I found it very hard to get lost in this game.

The only thing I did not like about this game is the almost excessive use of language. I would have preferred if THQ had included a feature where I could censor the langauage, but since this was not an option, I was forced to play the game with my head phones on whenever my 7-year old was around.

But with great graphics, sound effects, and new hard hitting tracks from 50 Cent and his G Unit, as well as straight on solid controls, this game has been much improved over it's "Bulletproof" predecessor.

All-in-all, this game was a MUST buy, and a solid addition to my Xbox 360 collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate guilty pleasure shooter. September 20, 2010

By James A. Matthews

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Look, the story is bogus bs and the action is the over the top and not believable at all. But......um.....who cares! This game rocks because its so much fun to play. Great soundtrack, buku guns, and exploding terrorists flying each and every way. What more could my tiny violent heart want. Oh, did I metion the fact ur able to shell out pre-recorded 50 cent spoken insults at will by clicking one the joysticks.The perfect 3rd person shooter to take a break from all the melo-dramatic way too serious games out there today.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Club presents:The Adventures of 50 Cent March 16, 2009

By StormStriker

If you've played the Club before then you will see the similarity in this game. It's like the Club with a sequel featuring 50 Cent in an actual adventure/story mode. The gameplay and some of the task/missions are just like the Club. From similar killing combos to finding the hidden bullseye targets during the levels. The Graphics are actually pretty sweet if you play it in HD. There's tons of cussing during gameplay and during cinemas. Wouldn't be 50 if it wasn't. Not a serious storyline but a decent one if it were a low budget "B" movie. I don't know if 50 had any part to do with the story or not, but if he did it seems like to me maybe he picked up some of the idea from the movie Home of The Brave that he starred in. But anyway the controls are pretty good. You may notice a few Gears of War moves used in the game (recovering your partner, vehicle stage) Army of Two weapon upgrade. (What, No pimped out weapons?) and a few up close battles from the bourne conspiracy game. The up close fights were not as advanced as the bourne conspiracy but similar. Overall it's a good action game to pick up for anyone who has mastered Gears of War or The Club and has a itchy finger to pull a trigger. This would be the game to play until a better 3rd person shooter comes out. Even better if you can find it on sale cheaper than $50. A good 3rd person action shooter worth looking into.
