Never double-cross Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. This is the lesson the criminal underworld is set to learn in 50 Cent:Blood In The Sand. A sequel to 2005's Bulletproof, Blood on the Sand puts 50 in a very different hood. Mr. Cent and his G-Unit crew have traveled to an unnamed "war-torn" desert country to put on a show. Fitty is paid with a high-priced jewel, but that gem is stolen by some thugs. Bad move.

 

Described as a cross between Three Kings and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Blood on the Sand is a tongue-in-cheek fast-paced shooter. Though 50 Cent is always on the scene with gun cocked, he is joined by one member of G-Unit controlled either by a friend online or by the AI. Before the start of each mission, you choose your sidekick to be Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks or DJ Whoo Kid. Each has his own bag of quips and a unique weapon.

 

The action is fairly constant as players shoot their way through more than 20 missions. You can play a straight up run and gun or use the cover system for more paced style of play. It's arcade action this time around -- there's not a hint of developer Swordfish Studios trying to be "realistic." You can do all the tricks now staples of stop-and-pop shooters. You can destroy the environment (so many explosive barrels of oil!) and use blindfire.

 

The cover system isn't meant to slow you down. It's to be used to thin out enemy ranks before rushing forward and finishing them off. And you will want to charge in at some point, because there are 20 counter kill moves only available when up close and personal. These brutal kill moves are interactive, requiring you to hit the proper face button when the icon flashes on screen. You'll gut enemies, slash throats and otherwise brutalize and humiliate those who would dare steal from 50 Cent.Looks way better than Bulletproof.

I can foresee the AI being the main thing that ruins this game.

Why is this game about 50? Why does that even make sense? Are we really supposed to believe that 50 cent can take on an entire criminal underworld all by his lonely? Seriously? And when did 50 get the training that most black ops agents don't have? This game would be no different if there was a no-name guy or like, i don't know, Rambo as the star. Honestly. Oh yeah, because then you couldn't sell it to any moron, it would actually have to make sense/be good to sell. Oh well, chalk one up for easy achivements.
