 50 Cent Bulletproof January 13, 2006
Movies, music and whips are cool but what rapper could pass up starring in his own video game? Enter Hip-Hop most savvy self-marketer of the moment 50 Cent and his pixilated take on the ghetto superhero with guns drawn fantasy, 50 Cent: Bulletproof (Vivendi Universal Games; PS2)
Besides the characters being drawn like steroid abusers injected with the strength of 50 midgets, this game is the typical shoot em' up. Game play isn't exactly intuitive with its aiming system being mediocre at best. Thus, more bullets will do you better than precision. The storyline begins deceptively simple before morphing into a more refined tale of backstabbing and intrigue that can only be answered with heavy artillery as 50 stomps across New York City. Of course, Fitty makes sure to drop plenty of product placement; from his vitaminwater being used to revive health levels to the G-Unit attire all the characters are sure to be wearing. At various times 50 goes on missions with his sidekicks Lloyd Banks (nice with lock picking), Tony Yayo (the TNT layer) and Young Buck (the weapons specialist) but controlling their actions is virtually non-existent. Eminem's take as a sheisty cop is entertaining though, as is Dre's turn as a gun happy army vet.
Though the game pales in comparison to its soundtrack (if you rack up enough dough on missions you can purchase the entire G-Unit music catalog to be played while your gunning down your foes), it is worthy of plenty of hours of play. Shooting up your enemies with a cadre of weapons is tough to get wrong. However, Bulletproof falls a couple of hollow tip clips short of classic game status.

This is a good game no doubt, if U are used to GTA games 50 Cent Bulletproof will be easy. Theirs are tons of albums and instrumentals to listen to, all videos to watch although a couple G-Unit videos are missing like Lloyd Banks "On Fire" and "Karma", lots of violence and yes U can play as other characters aside from 50 in the arcade mode including Eminem, Dr. Dre, Bank$, Buck, Yayo and a couple more
Bottom line this game is better than good 5 stars, but if your used to GTA then U will be disappointed, although more violent than GTA the missions are not as long and their isn't many cheats to offer
 Terrible in every way! January 5, 2006

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!!!

i got this from a friend.....who played it and hated it. so he gave it to me cuz i like 50 cent and g-unit. i started to play this game at 3pm and i finished at 7pm, very easy, even on the hardest mode, it is easy. pretty fun though, i just don't like the fact that you can't really walk anywhere....you just have 50's hood and it is very very very small. i like the killing, its hard to get used to the aiming but u evenutally get used to it. u hav to buy his music and his music videos in the game to listen and watch them. and i heard that you can play as eminem or dre.....you don't, u jus play as fifty, thats it...unless theres like a code or something but i doubt it. the graphics are good like u most probably have been hearing. my advice, rent first. see if u would want to buy it or not, i know that now i hav finished, i most probably wont play it again unless im really bored.

This is one of the best games ever. those people that are givin this game 1 or 2 stars obviously just dont like 50. this is a definite buy. it is retarted how you have to buy 50's Music!!! but the game is great otherwise. g-unit follows you around and kills everybody and its sweet as hell. if you like 50, i suggest you go buy this game now, dont rent it like those other people r sayin....BUY IT!!!!
