50 Cent: Bulletproof is a video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. 50 Cent: Bulletproof was reworked into a PlayStation Portable version and titled 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition, with a top-down perspective. A sequel, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, was released on February 24, 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The story revolves around protagonist hip hop musician 50 Cent's search for vengeance against the hitmen who attempted to murder him. The game features members of the G-Unit rap crew as a gang. Dr. Dre plays an arms dealer, Eminem plays a corrupt police officer, and DJ Whoo Kid plays himself as a person selling "bootlegged" music (of the G-Unit camp) out of his trunk. A soundtrack album titled, Bulletproof, was released by DJ Red Heat's Shadyville Entertainment. It won "Best Original Song" in the 2005 Spike TV Video Game Awards.

G-Unit edition

On August 29, 2006, Vivendi Games released a G-Unit edition for the PlayStation Portable. While the story and cut-scenes are the same as the console counterpart, the game eschews the third-person perspective game-play for a top-down, isometric viewpoint. Also added is multiplayer game-play through ad hoc wireless connectivity. The PlayStation Portable version featured a "Vitamin Water" mini-game in which you play as 50-Cent at the apex of his business endeavors.

Plot

You play character 50 Cent, a New York gangster. You receive a page from your old cell mate, K-Dog, begging you for help. You agree to help him but unfortunately walk into an ambush attach where you are shot 9 times by an unknown assailant and left for dead.

After rehabilitation you round up fellow G-Unit gangsters; Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo to exact revenge. You quickly find your self being dragged back into the criminal underworld, taking on the most dangerous crime organisations in New York City, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications.

Fellow Rappers including Eminem (as Detective McVicar) and Dr.Dre (as street-wise war veteran 'Grizz') will aid 50 Cent in this action-packed adventure.

Reception

50 Cent Bulletproof received generally mixed reviews due to poor game-play mechanics, but it was praised for its solid story line. It received 1 out of 5 and a Golden Mullet from X-Play.[35] In spite of this, it received a positive rating of 8/10 from Official UK PlayStation 2 Magazine.

The PlayStation Portable G-Unit Edition was also received by mostly mixed reviews from critics. GameSpot's Alex Navarro did, however, say that it was a better game than the PS2 or Xbox versions."[22]
