50 Cent: Bulletproof

This game should have been one of those extinct arcade games that cost fiddy cents to play.

This game was horrific on so many levels. 2005 or not, this game was bad, corny even for a so-called gangsta.

If you were looking for a black on black game...you're out of luck because it's more of a bore on crap game.

Last Words: 22nd question. Why was this finalized?

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!!!

Graphics C Sound B- Gameplay D- Lasting Appeal D

First of all this game is alright but could do with a few minor adjustments. Number 1-this game needs MORE swearing, I don't think I heard one swear from this game. Number 2-this game needs MORE sex, there was only women wearing tight and slightly revealing clothes and considering it is about a rapper it needs more sex. Number 3-this game needs LESS violence, I don't usually say that, in fact I've never said that but this game did get boring because all there is, is gunning people down, stabbing, taking people out and number 4-this game needs to be EASIER, seriously this game is one the most hardest in my game piles. Not EVERYTHING in this game is bad, some parts are funny but needs some adjustments. 6/10

50 Cent: Bullet Proof In 50 Cent: Bulletproof, 50 Cent gets caught in a web of corruption, double-crosses, and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld. Teaming up with his G Unit crew, 50 Cent takes on the most dangerous crime families in the city, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications. 50 Cent: Bulletproof features album tracks and new songs from 50 Cent recorded exclusively for the game, as well as more than a dozen 50 Cent and G Unit videos along with new original hot beats and scoring from Sha Money XL (G Unit Exec Producer). In addition, the game will offer a sound studio mode in which gamers can mix and match new original freestyles by 50 Cent with new beats straight from the G Unit camp.

This is high packed action game which deserved to be played. The only disappointed to the game is the game controller. But to avoid any upset there's a tip to get use to the game, go on 'Acarde mode' which helps you to improve you shooting and accuracy. But highly recommend to buy. The public rating is 6.5/10, I give it 9/10

Buy it

I don't seem to understand how a pity thug like 50 cent be given his own computer game. I mean I would go as far as giving the fool credit for a creating a game that would appeal to the 'bad boy wannabe' genre, because any decent gamer would not really want to play this. I managed to obtain a copy of this cheaply although I now regret wasting money on it at all. Apprantly I am still getting understanding how running around and shooting things is educational but probably just another day in the 'hood'. The first problem with the game is shooting , I mean how many bullets does it take to kill one punk, another thing is that well really you don't really have to do much as you can just rely upon Fiddy's hood rat friends to do the dirty work for you but truly the biggest flaw of this game was the camera , it just made the aiming just a lot lot harder than it should be and also just plain frustrating. The only amusing thing about this game was eminem's character and the plot seemed good although how the hell a thug can get caught up into an international conspiracy is beyond me ! Trluy avoid , there are better terrible games out there like the sequel is been given to this comedy satire.
