It should come as no surprise to anyone that they made another 50 Cent game. Despite its chilly critical reception, 2005's 50 Cent: Bulletproof sold remarkably well. What is likely to surprise many people is that the new game, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, is actually quite good. The fast-paced gameplay, tight controls, and arcade-style scoring system form a solid base for the simplistic yet fun action. Layered on top of this foundation is a heaping helping of 50 Cent and G-Unit flavor; vulgar dialogue, ridiculous one-liners, and a whole lot of licensed music give Blood on the Sand the bravado it needs to stay entertaining when the action begins to wear thin. Neither the action nor the attitude are particularly inspired, but together they are enough to make this an enjoyable ride.
The Good:
* Brash, cocky attitude
* Fast-paced action
* Engaging scoring system
* Great soundtrack of 50 Cent and G-Unit songs
The Bad:
* Action becomes repetitive
* Levels blur together
* Cover mechanic is too sticky
* Very cluttered HUD
Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.
EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.
I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.
6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Avatar: The game
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.
COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.
Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.
Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending
I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.
Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4
Here are the seven Xbox 360 games that still need to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One, including one last Call of Duty title and a hip hop artist that needs to find his skull.
GRAW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and I’ll be set. I’m a little bitter though you can’t buy Splinter Cell Blacklist digitally, I certainly would have bought a new copy to play, I don’t have my disc anymore and I’ll never own another game on disc. Same thing happened with Red River, not sure why it happens but it is disappointing.
Would love Dishonored 1 and the Batman Arkham games on BC, the remastered versions of those games is hot garbage.
Do people actually play 360 games on the xb1 or do they kinda toy around for a while to check out the improvements? Im curious because i cant stand last gen games
I bought the Xbox one X because of the backwards compatibility. Last gen games look amazing, Gears, Red dead look incredible in 4K. Still some of the best games were on last gen.
Infinite Undiscovery is the only one I'm waiting on, I replayed Blue Dragon when it hit BC.
Seems like this new game might be worth a rental!
does this game support trophies? because if it doesn is no buy for me. Not because im a trophy whore but because ithas achievements and to not put trophies when it has the other award system, is just lazy
