50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

[Jaysav]

​

Just beat it today and I have to say, it's a fun ass game. Graphics are awesome, can play co-op over live,good storyline, and cool soundtrack. I know a lot of people think it's "cheesy" because it's a 50 game, but it's a fun game.

Thoughts? Anybody else played it?

Yeah honestly, I liked Bulletproof. I liked how you unlocked songs and music videos and shit. You unlock music again in BoS. I don't really remember the storyline in Bulletproof, but it's overall a much better game. You get to roll with one homie at a time. Either Banks, Yayo, or Whoo Kid. And you can aim in this one lol. Definitely worth checking out.

50 Cent x Blood on the Sand. There is no doubt that 50 has been flexing his publicity-machine muscle to promote his newest video game “Blood on the Sand.” He did in-store appearances, contests to play against others and tons of publicity. Many in the gaming industry saw it as a clear sign 50 was serious about expanding his empire into the gaming world.

Despite all the efforts, “Blood on the Sand” has sold so little that it already can be found in “dump-bins” across America. According to NPD which monitors game sales, “Blood on the Sand” has only sold 56,000 copies from when it launched in February. In comparison, 50’s first game “Bulletproof” sold over 681,000 copies during the same initial launch window, which is TWELVE times more than “Blood on the Sand.”

The “Blood on the Sand” results are so terrible that publisher THQ did not mention the game at all in their recent earnings reports. Insiders say THQ is blaming the economy and recession but others are pointing to 50 Cent’s waning popularity with gamers and the fact that “Blood on the Sand” was originally dumped by its original developer. Will these results scare off Jay-Z from moving forward with getting into the gaming industry?

Damn that's crazy. But it doesn't really surprise me it didn't sell. Like I was saying, a lot of people think it's "cheesy" just because it's a 50 Cent game, but when you set that aside, it's a fun ass game.

Shit, if it's already in the Sale Bins i might pick it up tommarow for hella cheap lol.. Yeah i knew the game wasn't saleing good, but i had no idea it was doing THAT bad.. What's funny was the last game was complete shit, and this one is supposupley pretty good, yet the last one sold 12x as much as this one did.. And i wouldn't blame the economy, video games are some-what "rescesion proof." I jus think most people didn't take 50 or this game seriously because the last one was so horrible.
