Story
50 Cent: Bulletproof (Xbox™)
The world's hottest rap star is now the star of the world's hottest video game.

In 50 Cent: Bulletproof, 50 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. Working with the unlikeliest of allies, the streets heat up as 50 Cent takes on the most dangerous crime families in the city, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications. The streets are watching as 50 Cent blasts his way to the truth.

Less the perfect

50 cent is a violent hip-hop fantasy come to life. Fittingly, it's got a mess of music video flash editing instead of a plot and shell casings where the brain should be. And a soul. Forget about it. The game's vision of 50, endorsed by the man himself, makes a lie out of any claim that his music is street poetry. There's no metaphor here. 50 Cent has been plugged, his crew has been wronged, and the only way to make things right is to blow the hell out of everyone. Never mind the cultural theory; we'll let someone else debate what Bulletproof means to hip-hop. It's easy enough to dismiss it as a game. The only thing to do here is shoot people, and there's no way to do it well. Bulletproof forgoes any sort of targeting system, instead behaving like an FPS with a third-person camera.Read full review...

50 CENT: bulletproof, a good buy, or is it?

I always wanted to get this game as i was always a fan of G-Unit and 50 cent and to have a video game based on someone whose music i enjoy i thought it would be really good. When i first started playing the game, it was good, i got really into it and it can be challenging at times (which is a good thing for most people) You don't just power through all the levels and beat the whole game in one day, thats one good thing about the game. The other good thing is the graphics, they could be better but for a regular Xbox game its pretty detailed. The weapons are pretty good to and the moves/actions can be pretty cool at times. However it could definitely have made better use of the music, you have to "buy" music videos and stuff in the game by collecting $$ during game play (kinda lame). Sometimes the things the characters say in the game gets annoying as it is very repetitive (Sometimes you wanna just turn down the volume of voices to 0,1 or 2 just to play)

All in all though, it did meet my expectations, surpassed them actually. It's a fun game to play, you'll enjoy, and you can get it for cheap now too, its worth the buy.

I would rate this game as "good" not excellent.Read full review...

Weak game, bad format, but has good sounds and graphics

This is just simply put not a good game...If you are simply just ban wagon jumping then you would probably like this game. I am a 50 fan his MuZiQ is off the chain. However this game has bad format, there must have been no thought to programing the targeting and firing portion of the game. Also you can only view this in a thrid person view, makes it frustrating to get a good shot. The head shot's are cool if you can target one. I like playing and listening to 50's joints and that's about all. The graphics are sort of impressive, the game becomes boring after-a-while as the levels seem to be a little repetative. If you like shooting games this is not one even close to the category of being a good shooting game. Run and Shoot, Run and Shoot...the game offers no challenge to the mind and in fact requires very little thought process if any.Read full review...

Bulletproof game

I think the concept of the game is grea but a few things could have been different. An option for language could have been inlcuded since kids love the 50 cent era. Another thing is the game play is a bit choppy and not as smooth as the grand theft auto series. The mjusic is great and the graphics are good though.Read full review...

Not Bad, But Not Great...

I thought the graphics & sound were good. The AI for the bad guys seems pretty good; lots of enemies to shoot (sometimes too many!) There's also an interesting array of guns to select. The 50 Cent music and video features were very good. My one complaint was that some of the levels were very dark and difficult to see where I was going, and I couldn't find an option to change the brightness/contrast.Read full review...
