Once Bitten, Twice Shy Curtis !

Alright "Fitty"....... no disrespect, but truthfully speaking ....the arrival of your new video game "Blood on the Sand" wasn't something I was
excited or thinking about playing. Perhaps because I still had nightmarish visions about how terrible your previous video game
"50: BulletProof" was. However... being a New Yorker I fell for the "okey-doke" once more and decided to show the Queens rapper some
love by giving his games another try.

The 90 Second Review: 50 Cent -Blood on The Sand
First I must say that I have the Blood on the Sand does have some pretty good graphics. 50 in the game looks like the real 50 Cent.
Even the G-Unit members are portrayed well in their likeness. Of course it wouldn't be a 50 Cent game without shooting and blowing up
something. As you can imagine "Blood in the Sand" allows the player to use a wide array of weapons to dish out the pain. The game also
offers driving missions to add another element of game play.
On the downside the story makes absolutely no sense at all, but with all the running and shooting going on the plot doesn't matter much.
Without giving the story away the game opens as 50 and crew preform a concert in some unnamed middle eastern country. After the
concert the promoter is unable to pay them. That's when all hell breaks loose. Rule number one: "don't mess with 50's money".

The game is billed as a serious shooter, however 50 Cent and especially G-Unit Tony YaYo deliver some of the funniest lines of voice over
and ad-lib in recent memory. While not perfect in its control and execution "Blood in the Sand" is a surprisingly fun "run and gun" game
that you should be able to finish over the weekend in less the 72 hours. The game also offers awarded unlockable content such as music
videos, and additional music tracks.
