- It's not very original, but it's miles better than the last game to bear the hip-hop star's name
Game Trailers · Mar 27, 2009 Reviewed on PS3 - Looking at it now the real surprise is that the mega publisher let this highly enjoyable game slip through its fingers, giving THQ an extremely solid next-gen action game in the process. 50 Cent fans are going to love every minute, and non-fans are likely to have a pretty good time too. Just don't expect a deep gameplay experience.
Tom Orry · Feb 25, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - I promise you will be thoroughly entertained. The minute things start to feel repetitive, the game throws in a random driving level or a ludicrous cut-scene that you only wish could be rewound and watched again. I’m not going to lie: playing 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand made me feel gangsta’ enough to want to stroll into the Middle East right now with a grenade launcher on my shoulder and a member of D-Unit (Dolphin-Unit) by my side.
Nick Chester · Feb 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - This is simply a blast to play, and there's a lot of replay value. The only problem is that the campaign is short, maybe five to seven hours.
Robert VerBruggen · Feb 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - The run-and-gun gameplay isn't particularly inspired, but the scoring system adds enough to keep you engaged. The pervasive attitude is so excessive that it borders on parody, but when underlaid with a robust offering of authentic songs, it works surprisingly well. This isn't the best action game you'll play this year, but that doesn't mean you won't have a damn fun time playing it.
Chris Watters · Feb 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - There are moments of questionable quality sprinkled throughout 50 Cent's latest video game adventure, but if you're looking for something silly and totally over-the-top, Blood on the Sand is actually kind of hilarious.
Jeff Gerstmann · Feb 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Instead it's just one five-hour "Fiddy." There's no mistaking that this is a fun game to play -- particularly with a buddy -- but it's in no way excellent. Though I'd love nothing more than for people to put some coin in Fiddy's piggy bank, I'd recommend renting rather than buying.
Hilary Goldstein · Feb 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - A Gears powered shooter that's nothing more than good, mindless fun
Mike Jackson · Feb 19, 2009 Reviewed on X360 - Like Activision, for example, who couldn't be bothered to release it after swallowing original publisher Vivendi last year. More fool them, because while this is never amazing, it's a competent, enjoyable third-person cover shooter with a sense of humour.
Tom Bramwell · Feb 20, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Its gunplay is solid and backed up by a plethora of neat ideas, its co-op is strong and there's an undercurrent of savvy humour that helps to negate the heavy posturing and more dubious elements of the paper thin plot. Ultimately, the pattern of play becomes too familiar too quickly, but while it lasts Blood on the Sand is a smile-inducing blast.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand features interactive counter-kills that let the player take control of the finishing moves. And for the first time in a game, 50 Cent finds himself behind the wheel and flight stick in a variety of driving missions and aerial combat challenges. It also comes packed with more exclusive unreleased music from 50 Cent and G-Unit, that provides a new arsenal of beats to listen to as the player battles to regain control of 50's possession’s.
