50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 (see GAMESPOT Review or the Official 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand website) is a TPS (third person shooter) that’s a surprise in a lot of ways. While no one should be surprised that 50 Cent followed the success of his first videogame with another release. What is a little surprising, though, is that the game is a lot better than his first foray into videogames. It’s a little repetitive at points, but there’s enough that’s tweaked in the game to keep it fun and interesting.

From a multi-kill bonus system for killing enemies one after the other quickly to the banter back and forth between the characters in the game, there’s enough in 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for it to be able to stand on its own. The one liners end up coming out as funny moreso than gripping or tough, but it’s a laugh in a good kind of way, yo.

As you might imagine, music from 50 Cent and G-Unit play a big role in the game, with some songs not being available until you unlock them in the game. You can finetune your playlist while you’re playing the game, which is a nice small touch.

The game has a great cooperative mode where players can drop in or drop out without interrupting play for the other player. The levels become even easier with two players. If you’re still having problems, though, there’s a ‘gangsta fire’ mode that slows time down so you can take out a bunch of bad guys really quickly and efficiently.

This might make the game too easy, but 50 Cent Blood on the Sand is about keeping the action moving at a fast clip (no pun.)
