What is acceptable to abruptness abounding bodies is that the fresh game, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, is absolutely absolutely good. The fast-paced gameplay, bound controls, and arcade-style scoring arrangement anatomy a solid abject for the simplistic yet fun action. Layered on top of this foundation is a heaping allowance of 50 Cent and G-Unit flavor; barnyard dialogue, antic one-liners, and a accomplished lot of accountant music accord Blood on the Sand the blowing it needs to break absorbing back the activity begins to abrasion thin. Neither the activity nor the attitude are decidedly inspired, but calm they are abundant to achieve this an agreeable ride.

The apriorism and news serve as little added than a accomplishments here, but that's aloof fine. 50 Cent and G-Unit comedy a concert and get stiffed by the promoter. Hoping to abstain Fiddy's wrath, the apostle offers them a BeDazzled skull. Everyone's blessed until the aggregation is ambushed and the skull is stolen. It is again that you arise cutting annihilation that moves. 50 and his called G-Unit accompaniment (Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, or DJ Whoo Kid) bisect a war-torn burghal Middle Eastern landscape, annihilation endless goons while advancing one bent amount afterwards another. Though there are a few agent segments to alter things up, best of the locales affectionate of becloud calm in a alloy of battery and apple tones.

They can additionally breeze into awning with the columnist of a button, but this artisan is a bit too adhesive to be convenient. Fortunately, you'll not generally accept to use it. Your appearance is actual durable, and back things do get hairy, you can booty advantage of the gangsta blaze approach (read: ammo time) that makes it accessible to lay out a band of enemies in seconds.

The activity is bland and the controls are responsive, but it begins to feel repetitive afterwards a while.

The bold is saturated with aureate bandit bravado, and it matches the over-the-top activity perfectly. From the cutscenes in which 50 Cent vows to annihilate about anybody he meets to the barnyard (and generally amusing) badinage amid characters, it aloof doesn't quit. The alone abode boorishness is bare is in the unlockable music videos, which are abnormally censored. Fortunately, the music advance are not. As you advance and alleviate fresh songs, you can abuse your playlist in the abeyance menu. 50 Cent and G-Unit songs achieve a abundant accomplishments for the activity and absolutely tie the accomplished amalgamation together.

Blood on the Sand is more good enjoyed with a friend, and the well-implemented drop-in/drop-out Accommodating approach is a solid addition. It's accessible to let bodies accompany your game, and aloof as accessible to accumulate them out or cossack them should they become a nuisance. Whether you comedy abandoned or cooperative, you'll get a solid 10+ hours out of the campaign, in accession to any high-score runs that you attack for the account of authoritative the online leaderboards.
