    This game has 50 Cent on it's cover and in the game. Ont hat alone, I wouldn't touch this game. I'm that shallow and hate fiddy cent THAT much.

    Funny to see that rappers are still making games after Shaq Fu. Maybe this one will have a website dedicated to destroying it one decade after its release. I would play this game if it was handed to me, but I wouldn´t buy it.

    50 cent has enough money. Decent game, now stop rapping, acting and starring in video games. -_- Your music lacks depth and your acting is unnecessarily gangsta in the wrong situations.

    Elitists? This game gets a bad rap because it's centered around a guy who makes bad rap.


    Show me where I can get the DJ Format: 3 Feet Deep game, and I will buy it instantly.

    Just because the game is centered around 50, doesn't mean the game is 50 Cent.

    Besides, not everything he endeavors on is a failure. (Vitamin Water.)

    @zer0faults: If you plugged in Lara Croft and had her yelling out "fuck" and "nigga" and "whas ma skull" while some terrible mainstream rap plays in the background IT DEFINITELY WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE, and neither does your argument. True, the game isn't centered around 50 cent's typical daily life, but it is centered around 50 cent... and his g-unit homies.

    Game A borrows something from Game B, and people rail on Game A... but in many cases, Game B stole it from somewhere, too...

    @dae_giovanni: Actually, my comments are only in relation to that which I know and have played. It's called ignorance, and we all are to some extent.


    So, rather than using extra words and going out of my way to explain exactly that, I used the most popular, relevant comparison that I know (and have played).


    There's nothing incorrect about your comment, other than it has seemingly not much of a point other than that noone knows the entire history of gaming. My guess is that it's emotionally motivated and you're not a fan of Gears, which is fine as well. :p

    Although honestly, I've played a lot of games in my near 30 years, and I can't think of a contextual cover system I would relate to Gears off the top of my head. Cover was always something I remember creating with my surroundings, not something that was implemented with a system within games.


    Not to say that there wasn't one, people! :p
