I'm gonna cut right to the chase! THIS GAME SUCKS!!! The only reason i gave it 2 stars is because Dr.Dre is in the game(i'm a huge dr.dre fan) So people of America listen to me!

DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!
DON'T RENT THIS GAME!!!!!!
AS A MATTER OF FACT DON'T EVEN PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an overall great game, those reviews about it being easy and simple to complete are true, only if you are playing in Real Easy mode..step it up to the hardest level and witness
the true playback of experienced gamer.
If you like 50 & G-Unit; it's all here, everything from music, videos, ads, violence, bling, bullet-time reaction, excellent graphics and my personal favorite the tunnel vision shot!
You will have play the game to know what I'm talking about though.
I highly recommend this game for all serious G-Unit fans!
5 reasons for buying this game
* You can play as Dr. Dre and Eminem as characters in the game
* 9 new songs including about 4 cd's worth of other G-Unit music
* Music videos for alot of the songs (unedited)
* Tons of different finishing moves
* Hot chicks & excellent graphics

This is pretty much the worst and most over-hyped game of 2005 and made a lot of 'bottom 10' lists in many magazines last month. And it bloody deserves it.

The problems with this game begin before you even lift it off the shelf in the store. I mean take a look at the cover. It's 50 Cent, one of the few African American 'role models' around these days, in a defencive pose with a stereotypical 'angry black guy' look on his face (oh, please don't hurt me Mr. Cent!).

Now I am not a fuddy-duddy conservative who blames people like Marilyn Manson for corrupting kids or whatever because I know kids are more intelligent than adults give them credit for. But America is a very racist country and when 50 Cent misrepresents the Black Community and backs up the xenophobic myth that all Black people are evil or killers or gang-bangers in some way I can't help but get very annoyed.

Second of all is the fact that this drivel game is no more than a laughable male fantasy. Yes, I know Mr. Cent has been shot 9 times but it was all at once with low calibre bullets. It's not as if he goes out and gets shot at every day and is immune to all lead fired in the direction of his person. I know 50 Cent has had a really, REALLY, RE-EALLY tough life, that I would not wish upon anyone. But when violence and death have haunted you your whole life the LAST thing you should do is capitalise on a game that glorifies gun-play and gang warfare. That's just disgusting and perverse and if Mr. Cent truly 'kept it real' (what a ridiculous, meaningless phrase) he would treat his demons with respect. Using music as a way of working through them is fine but starring in a video game where the main enjoyment comes from blowing people away certainly is NOT. As I have said, there are few African American role models and he should set an example to those following behind him. While his innovative music may have made him a huge success this game smashes any credibility I feel he may have had.

Third? Well the story to the game is childish and stupid anyway. It's not even entertaining accidentally as it's just way too dull.

And fourth? Well don't get me started on the horrible targeting system and awful controls. It'll make you want to smash your control pad into your TV screen. What a horribly cheaply programmed game!

Fifth? Well, that would have to be the bland, graphics and tedious environments. It all adds up to a pretty (read VERY) unsatisfying experience. Mere days after being released most stores had zillions of copies traded in as those foolish enough to buy it blind quickly discovered what a rotten game it is as well as a hideously over-indulgent and grossly misjudged vanity piece. BEWARE!!!

50 Cent's video game is finally here. Does it live up to its high expectations? It depends.

If you are a hardcore fan of 50 Cent, go out and buy this game, immediately. You'll absolutely fall in love with the game's huge 50 Cent soundtrack. In addition, playing as 50 Cent with lots of cool slow motion action movie abilities will make you wet your pants as well.

If you're anyone else, there's not much Bulletproof has to offer. Other than the soundtrack, Bulletproof is pretty much a generic action game that offers nothing new. Sure there's bullet time and disarms and some other stuff, however those have been done many times before. The only somewhat unique thing about the gameplay is the ability to use cover. 50 Cent is actually not bulletproof (OSNAP), and you'll have to grab stuff like dumpsters with wheels to hide behind them like a moron while heavily armed machine gun thugs are pwning the crap out of you.

The weapon sounds and explosions are pretty powerful, and the voice acting is good. Nothing truly stands out, though. It's just like an action movie. Lots of swearing. If you're not into gangster stuff, you'll be severly turned off by the game.

I never cared for the story, but no one buys a game like this for the story anyway. It takes place in the area where 50 Cent grew up (Queens, NY), and he's trying to find out who gunned down his friend and stuff. Lots of revenge. The game is around ten hours long, at the most. The story has no twists or unexpected moments that stand out. Like I said, it's just like an action movie.

Overall, Bulletproof will surely appeal to hardcore 50 Cent fans, however other than that, this game has just about nothing to offer to the average casual gamer. In the end, there's no reason to spend $50 on this. There are far better games out there, such as the Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne games. Check it out and see if you like it, but I was disappointed.

50 Cent Bulletproof could have been one of the most innovative and exciting urban action video games of all time. It's clear that a lot of time and effort went into the creative edge of the video game. Sadly though, the game falls short when it comes to the actual game play.

The premise of 50 Cent Bulletproof is rather simple. You star in the game as 50 Cent. Along with fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo you run the streets basically. From the very first mission it's clear that the game doesn't measure up. When the game begins you as 50 Cent are in a warehouse. You and the G-Unit are being ambushed. You have to shoot the enemies while Lloyd Banks picks the lock to exit the area. First off, the targeting is very frustrating. Second of all, with the G-Unit members frantically running around sometimes it's hard to tell who is a good guy and who is an enemy. Another strange thing, if you shoot any of the G-Unit members they do not die or get injured.

There are a lot of neat things about the game. You can choose your difficulty level when you begin game play. You can also access a media center where you can view 50 Cent videos and listen to 50 Cent music. As you advance in game play more multimedia is unlocked. This is a really great feature and brings a real unique flavor to the game. The game includes 4 CD's worth of new music and remixes from 50 Cent and over a dozen video games. In addition to the voice work lent by 50 Cent and the G-Unit, Eminem, Dr. Dre and DJ Whoo Kid can also be heard in the game.

One thing about the game that makes it a bit boring is you can't drive in the game. According to the booklet that came with the game, "Since no one drives in New York and cabbies stay outta this hood, 50 gets around using the subways." This was the deal sealer for me that made me know I wouldn't be playing the game very long. It would have been so cool to drive around New York as 50 Cent and listen to his music. The fact that driving is not an option in the game makes this gamer think they were just rushing to get this game out because every 50 Cent/G-Unit fan knows they are about the flashy cars.

50 Cent Bulletproof was created by Vivendi Universal. I previously reviewed their 2005 releases Cold Winter and Red Ninja. They need to hire some better game developers. The games they create have good premises but the actual game play can be so frustrating that game players get frustrated.

The bottom line is that 50 Cent Bulletproof was a really idea that just doesn't work because of the overall poor game play controls. The character is clunky, the shooting is not very good, and the game map seems small. The game was a really good idea, but it doesn't work. Perhaps if Rockstar Games or Activision completed the actual game design the finished product would have turned out better.

I just don't like it. Why? Because this is one of the games where you realy don't need your brain, you just go in, shoots everything that is moving, then you move to another area, shoots everything down, and so on. Just like dead to the rights. If you want a bloody game, with a great story and a realy good adventure part then try God of war, Onimusha, Cold fear, Devil may Cry etc. even Altered beast is better, but this game is just crap!

50 cent? I give him 1 dollar if he shuts up!

this game is semi original.
so far in the game i havent driven vehicles, i dont know if u can.
the finishing moves are very stylish, but what makes me not really like this game is the fact that every few secondes, 50, yayo or someone else in his "posse" will shout the n or f word.
so skip if u dont like 50 cent or g unit
play it if u do.

If you took any of that seriously, this game is for you.

To: Mr. Watson

I can assure you Mr. Watson, this poor exuse for a man is not a role model for the black community. Now, if you would have mention someone like Mr Tavis Smiley? Yes! He is a role model, but 50 cent? Not just no, but HELL NO!!!

My nephew, is a very intelligent young black man. He was doing research for one of his classes and borrowed this game from someone out of curiousity. I myself had the displeasure of watching some of this mindless mess with him.

As a black man in my mid thirties, who have served my country, have a degree, pay my taxes, contributed to society, me and my nephew were both offended, what we had witness on this junk, just plain DISGUSTED WITH THIS B.S.!!!!

All I can say, anything with 50 cent's name on it needs to be banned. He is a DISGRACE AND A DISSERVICE!!!! Not just to the black community, but to society as a whole. He continues to perpetrate the stereotypical image of a black man, which I find very very offensive!!!

I cannot believe not just with the music, but how so many young people (particularly black kids) would reduce their standards to this, well you know what? I don't have time to go there, let's just say this so-called video game was not only disturbing, but made me loathe this pathetic individual even more.

If he so, wants to "Keep It Real" Hey! 50 cent, why don't you become a real man instead of living in a fantasy video game and take your ass to IRAQ!!!!

this game is really bad and guess what i am a huge 50 cent fan but i call it the way i see it some one said 50 should have had rockstar to help with game believe it or not he was suppose to be head person in san andras but 50 told them he wanted to make his own game well he droped the ball on this one
