Anyone getting 50 Cent Blood on the Sand?

Post by pilonv1 »

Had some good reviews.

Destructiod 8/10
If you are a fan of mindless, old-school action games you really owe it to yourself to give Blood on the Sand a try. I promise you will be thoroughly entertained. The minute things start to feel repetitive, the game throws in a random driving level or a ludicrous cutscene that you only wish could be rewound and watched again.
IGN UK 7.6
A near-perfect popcorn game. Its gunplay is solid and backed up by a plethora of neat ideas, its co-op is strong and there's an undercurrent of savvy humour that helps to negate the heavy posturing and more dubious elements of the paper thin plot.

IGN AU 7.5
This is great mindless fun, with a huge head-nodding Fiddy soundtrack, highly competent visuals and a high score aesthetic that clicks enough to keep you playing.
GamePro 7/10
There's no denying it: Blood on the Sand is completely senseless, wholly obnoxious, incredibly thoughtless, and insanely fun. Hampered by a sore lack of multiplayer, Fiddy's second console excursion still remains an entertaining, if completely mindless experience.
EUROGAMER 7/10
While this is never amazing, it's a competent, enjoyable third-person cover shooter with a sense of humour.
VERY tempted to EB rent this over the weekend.

The name is a big turn off, though it sounds like it would provide a good dose of mindless fun.

Personally I still have loads of SR2 to play though, so that will fill that prescription for me.

Yeah, the name is off putting but from what I've seen it looks like one of those enjoyable gems that will be passed over for a more popular title.

I doubt anyone thought a sequel would be made let alone be better than the previous pile of shite.

I'm with the consensus - looks like a decent game but I can't stand 50 Cent. If I bought the game I'd probably spend most of my time killing myself :|

Blood from the Anus.

Blood in the Stool.

I just wouldn't feel comfortable controlling the Mr Candy Store. The whole idea of giving money to such a no talent hack is a big turn off. Sure the devs probably deserve some money but not some big fuckstick like 50 cent. It's just a bunch of nob polishing.

This game is an easy, incredibly over the top version of Gears of War. It's stupidly fun.

Oh I forgot it's also like The Club, you string together kills and get more points.

So its Gears of War: The Club in Iraq with rappers. How can it be bad?

Okay, so here is the... plot...
50 Cent and his G-Unit crew finish completing a tour of shows in the Middle East. Rather than receiving cash for his work, G-Unit is offered a diamond-embedded skull of legends. But when it is stolen, 50 Cent, angered by the fact, will do whatever it takes to get it back, even if it means fighting through gangs of thugs and putting himself in life threatening situations repeatedly to get what belongs to him back.
None of that makes any sense to me.

Taken from wiki, don't blame me for the fantastic english.

Given the basis of his fortune is his abhorrent "musical" output, I can't see how he commands any respect.

I'm not angry at you Pilon... just disappointed. :D

I know no one will care or listen, but I'm up to the 6th and final stage of this game so far and it's been awesome. Just shooting and explosions and swearing. It's so over the top it's hilarious.

It's really short too - probably only 6hrs or so with one level to go. I'd imagine you could blaze through it on co-op too since the partner AI is fucked.

Definitely worth a rental if you like Gears of War or The Club.

Yeah I was listening to the guys talk about this game on the Giant Bombcast, I really want to check it out now. Doesn't sound like a masterpiece but it sounds like heaps of fun.
