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 rented this game in the hopes that there would be a hidden mini-game where you re-lived the career making "I got shot 9 times and still lived" scene. It would be great to be the guy who did that, only in the game, they can make it where you shoot him like 18 times and then there is a big parade with elephants and clowns doing back flips and what-not. well, there isn't anything like that on this poopy disc, It's crappy just like the rest of his terrible products, even more than his disgusting vitamin water. 50 cent's fake gangsterisms are spawning a generation of wannabe thugs and makes this world an even crappier place to live (if that was even possible) our kids shouldn't be playing games like this.

HE IS NOT A ROLE MODEL FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!!

To: Mr. Watson

I can assure you Mr. Watson, this poor exuse for a man is not a role model for the black community. Now, if you would have mention someone like Mr Tavis Smiley? Yes! He is a role model, but 50 cent? Not just no, but HELL NO!!!

My nephew, is a very intelligent young black man. He was doing research for one of his classes and borrowed this game from someone out of curiousity. I myself had the displeasure of watching some of this mindless mess with him.

As a black man in my mid thirties, who have served my country, have a degree, pay my taxes, contributed to society, me and my nephew were both offended, what we had witness on this junk, just plain DISGUSTED WITH THIS B.S.!!!!

All I can say, anything with 50 cent's name on it needs to be banned. He is a DISGRACE AND A DISSERVICE!!!! Not just to the black community, but to society as a whole. He continues to perpetrate the stereotypical image of a black man, which I find very very offensive!!!

I cannot believe not just with the music, but how so many young people (particularly black kids) would reduce their standards to this, well you know what? I don't have time to go there, let's just say this so-called video game was not only disturbing, but made me loathe this pathetic individual even more.

If he so, wants to "Keep It Real" Hey! 50 cent, why don't you become a real man instead of living in a fantasy video game and take your ass to IRAQ!!!!

What a disaster! Bit like Curtis Jackson's rapping (Yes, that's his real name). Ok, so it's gory.....so what? State of Emergency was gory, but look what a pile of crap that was. As for the story, 50 Cent gunning down gangs and police? In his dreams! The closest he's ever gona get to a gun is in a video games arcade. So why is it all so bad? Well, because it is. It's a GTA ripp off with so many glitches I don't even want to start naming them.

Ok, 50, we got the point now. Your a gangsta and your a homie and you wear loadza fat chains and stuff, whatever. Just give the whole act up now, please. It's getting abit old.

A 50 Cent videogame? HA!!!

These are the idols of today, hmm? Manufactured POP stars singing about slappin' da bichis an da hoez an chilin in da huud. This guy gives rap a bad name. And now, this women-abusing FAKE has a video game out about killing people while he just takes blows and is invincible. Come on, this is just 50 Cent running around killing police officers and white people. Uh-hu, that's a good role model alright. Jeez, it's amazing what people will do to promote an already commercially successful person.

And I don't mean to re-hash what Kenny "alex" said in his review, but this truly is the Grand Theft Auto for MTV Rocks, MTV Supporter, or any MTV people. It's sad to see the youth of today buying these horrible games. I mean, I wouldn't care so much if the main charater was just a random guy, but come on! 50 Cent is the main character. HE is the one going around killing people, and 9-year-old kids are looking UP to him!!! Are these the kind of influences you want your children to have? No? Then don't buy this game for them. Oh, yeah, and don't buy any of 50 Cent's music for your kids as well. Buy them ANY classic rock album.

NOW LET THE UN-HELPFUL VOTES BEGIN!!!!!!

One of the worst games ever!

I just don't like it. Why? Because this is one of the games where you realy don't need your brain, you just go in, shoots everything that is moving, then you move to another area, shoots everything down, and so on. Just like dead to the rights. If you want a bloody game, with a great story and a realy good adventure part then try God of war, Onimusha, Cold fear, Devil may Cry etc. even Altered beast is better, but this game is just crap!

50 cent? I give him 1 dollar if he shuts up!

Avoid like the plague

What a waste of money this game was. IF there's a dollar to be made from anything this egotistical piece of trash will slap his name on it. It should be a crime to charge money for this garbage. If you have an extra 50 dollars and just have to buy some video games with it I recommend Grand Theft Auto San Andreas or get the GTA3/Vice City Doublepack. These are very well designed fun games with a high replay value. Or if you're a fan of shooters get The Punisher. This game is like a retarded version of The Punisher.

There is a reason the price droped from 49.99 to 29.99

This game is horrible. Heed this warning so you do not waste your money like I did. I do not usualy write reviews for a game that I didnt like, but I feel it is my obligation to save others out there from this garbage. "50 cent" is way too cool, I cant handle it. By the way; 50 cent is not bullet proof, hes just lucky.
