50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

 

The only good news is that Blood on the Sand is a better than the first 50 Cent game. But bettering one of the worst games of all time is hardly an achievement, and fans needn't get excited.

This Gears of War style shooter is derivative, mildly offensive and tedious to play. The "plot" sees the rapper head to the ­Middle East to recover stolen money. Cue action that involves gunning down wave after wave of well-armed, but clueless, enemies. The action does get marginally more entertinaing when played with a friend via co-op. Fiddy fans will probably persevere – especially as you can unlock extra music tracks – but even they will tire of the derivative action (Sega's The Club did arcade shooting much better).

Leave your brain, critical faculties and any sense of gaming self-worth at the door and you can grab half an hour or so of entertainment here. But when gaming can be so enriching, beautiful and uplifting, why bother?
