Considering (

Quote Posted by some corporate douche
50 and G-Unit are putting on a sold-out performance somewhere in a fictional Middle Eastern setting. This is where the 'blood on the sand' comes in. They put on the performance; the people are pleased, but the concert promoter stiffs them and doesn't give 50 and G-Unit their payment. So, of course, 50 isn't going to leave until he gets paid, so he hassles the concert promoter, [saying] if he doesn't come up with the money now, there will be consequences. And instead, the promoter offers him a very valuable gift – something that's valuable to this particular country – a diamond encrusted skull. So 50 gets the skull, and as he's about to leave this war-torn country, when they're ambushed and the skull is taken. They escape the ambush, but they're without the skull. So 50's motivated to get what belongs to him. So basically, throughout the game, he's trying to track these people down and find out who they are and why he was ambushed.

I actually bought and played the first 50 Cent game, and it was utterly fucking horrible.
Even though the pre-rendered trailer for that one looked just as sweet and stylish as this one does.

What an hilariously horrible description.
I particularly love the insistence that the fictional concert attended by the fictional fans is sold out. That doesn't sound desperate at all.

Amazing how far we've come with storytelling in games since the early classics like Infocom's Trinity.

You just can't write statements like that without an explanation.

I found it cheap in a second-hand store and in a weak moment of ironic white boy perpetratin' like he real-ness I put my money down. :(

Remember: Finland is the country where they have 'shouting choirs' and cello players doing cover versions of Metallica. Asking for explanations is roughly like expecting an amoeba to tapdance.
:p
