50 Cent claims that ''Bulletproof'' is educational [http://www.fradical.com/FiftyCent_buy_my_videogame_for_your_kids.htm], teaching young children how gang life really is, in order to decrease it, despite the game having an [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]] rating of "Mature". However, many political leaders contradict 50 Cent, saying that the game is "violent, outrageous and with no message" {{Fact|date=June 2007}}. |

''Bulletproof'' was banned in Australia for exceeding the MA15+ rating, which is the highest rating for video games in Australia. However, a cut version was submitted for review, and the game was given an MA15+ rating for strong coarse language and strong violence. Australia does not have an R18+ classification for [[video games]], as the classification currently only applies to films. The game is now approved in Australia, and was released on [[March 4]], [[2006]]. |

50 Cent: Bulletproof G-Unit Edition
On August 29, 2006, Vivendi Games released G Unit Edition for the PlayStation Portable. While the story and cutscenes are the same as the console counterpart, the game eschews the third-person perspective gameplay for a top-down, isometric viewpoint. Also added is multiplayer gameplay through ad hoc wireless connectivity.
Reception
The game has almost been universally panned by both gamers and critics, earning a 1 out of 5 and a Golden Mullet from X-Play [1] and numerous other low scores. It even gave the game the "honor" of being the worst game ever released for the PlayStation 2, beating out Shining Tears and Dragon Ball Z: Sagas. This stems from the bad aiming, pointless missions, and horrible camera despite the enthusiastic interviews with developers including a key member who was involved in Dead To Rights.
G-Unit Edition, like the console versions, was also poorly received by critics. GameSpot's Alex Navarro did, however, say that it was a better game than the PS2 or Xbox versions, but it still wasn't a "good" game, stating "While you can argue that G-Unit Edition is better than the original Bulletproof, all you're talking about is a lighter shade of lousy." [2] In the 2006 Best and Worst of the Year awards, GameSpot added the "Worst Game Everyone Played" category, describing games that earned massive sales despite poor quality, apparently in honour of Bulletproof. This game should not have been made! [3]
However, the Official UK Playstation Magazine was one of the few to recommend the PS2 game, awarding it 8/10. However, the magazine had no such affection for the PSP version, giving it just 3/10.
