50 Cent: Blood On The Sand may not be the best action game ever, but its a lot of fun
The story, Is frankly terrible, But who needs a great story when you have a game that is fun? From driving armoured vehicles to blowing up people with rockets, The depth of entertainment in this game is deep. The gameplay is solid with the exception of a "Sticky" Cover system. The screen at first does seem over-crowded with the Money on the top left, Points flying around when you get kills and other things but you will get used to that within minutes.
So when you start playing, You can choose from 3 members of G-Unit to be your sidekick, from Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and DJ Whoo Kid. There is also an Online CO OP, But in my experience, There is almost nobody playing online, I searched for games and found the same 2 people with open games over and over, Which is a let down. The games cutscenes could be better, As they give poor animations. In-Game the framerate can stumble from time to time, Nothing game breaking but you will notice it a little.
Another thing that is a real let down for PS3 owners who like to get the most out of games, Is the fact that this game does not support trophies, Even though it is mandatory for games released on the PS3 to have trophies, But because this game was certified before January 9th, The developers of the game were able to leave out trophies, Which is a bit lazy and it really the game isn't that great to play through again with no trophies, Unless you find you want to, Which some will, Some wont.
Overall the gameplay is solid, The story is terrible, But the fun factor is high. It is certainly a big improvement from the past, but could still of quite easily been a lot better with trophies and a deeper and less cheesy story. This game is around 10 hours long and does get a little repetetive but really what shooter doesn't? Its a 10 hour thrill, Wether you want to play it through with another G-Unit sidekick once you complete it once, Is up to you.
Rent it first.
