After the concert the promoter refuses to pay them the US $10-million in cash he promised, but relents after being threatened.
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is Beyond Parody. For the year's greatest game regardless of genre, platform.
However, instead of the cash they were promised, he gives them a diamond-and-pearl encrusted human skull as collateral. This is promptly stolen by a paramilitary group. 50 Cent (with the help of a selected G-Unit partner) decides to get it back at any cost.Gameplay Blood on the Sand is not just set in the confines of the warzone but also includes vehicle missions such as a driver-and-turret-gunner Humvee road chase and a helicopter-borne Minigun shootout. There are also boss battles against helicopters.It has a feature called the 'Shop' (activated in the game by placing a call on payphones hidden on each level), where the characters can use cash to buy new weapons, upgrade their old weapons, and learn hand-to-hand combat moves called 'Counter-Kills'. Cash can also be used to unlock Taunts (each rated by Profanity, Braggin' and Triple X levels), which increase the points earned from kills.Weapons are graded from 1 to 10 by Capacity, Damage Rating, and Accuracy, and also list possible Add Ons (weapon enhancements like scopes or silencers). Players can use a mode called 'Gangsta Fire' (50 Cent's variation on the slo-mo 'bullet-time' concept used in ) to take on multiple opponents at once. Weapons are divided into four classes:.
Handguns: Revolvers and Semi-automatic pistols. Close Combat Weapons: Shotguns and Submachineguns. Assault Weapons: Automatic rifles and Machineguns. Explosive Weapons: Hand grenades, Assault rifle / Grenade launcher combos, rocket launchers, and Sniper rifles.Each level has Target Enemies (5 per level; each is just a high-value target, not a 'Level Boss'), crates of gold bars (which are broken open to earn money), as well as collectables like Posters (5 per level). Kills grant points, which help the player to earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold G-Unit Badges; these unlock better Weapons, Counter-Kills and Taunts in the 'Shop'. There are also Achievements (for completing the levels as one of the characters, getting all Weapons in a class, getting all the Posters and Target Enemies in a level, getting a certain amount of cash or number of Badges, etc.)It also features more music tracks than the first game (40+ tracks in all); 50 Cent made 18 exclusive tracks just for the game.
