History VideoGame / FiftyCentBloodOnTheSand

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Some cultures actually decorated human skulls in ornate manners, though possibly not to the extent of the skull in this game.

* CorruptHick: Wilder.

* MadeOfIron: 50 Cent can take ''three [=RPGs=]'' to the chest and '''survive'''. Apparently, 50 is not simply bulletproof, but mortarproof as well.

''50 Cent: Blood On The Sand'' is a third person shoot-em-up featuring rapper Music/FiftyCent AsHimself in the main role. Though technically a sequel to the [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames poorly-received]] ''50 Cent: Bulletproof'', this game managed to get average critical reception... and a ton of SoBadItsGood value.

The majority of said value is related to the game's HighConcept plot: The game begins with 50 Cent and G-Unit finishing a concert in an [[{{Qurac}} unnamed, war-torn Middle Eastern country]], only for the promoter to claim he can't pay the promised $10 million fee due to an alleged robbery. After 50 Cent [[SociopathicHero points a gun to the promoter's head]], the latter offers 50 a priceless ''[[MacGuffin diamond encrusted skull]]'' as collateral while he tries to recover the money. 50 accepts only for the skull to be stolen as soon as he walks out the door by a paramilitary group connected to a local warlord. The rest of the game involves 50 and a selected G-Unit partner slaughtering their way through the Middle East to recover the skull.

The game itself is a fairly linear third person shooter with a ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' style cover mechanic. However, the game also has a points-based mechanic similar to that of ''VideoGame/TheClub'' (no relation to 50's song InDaClub) in which you gain points by killing enemies, with bonus points offered by fulfilling special timed objectives given to you in several points (usually involving killing specific enemies, or killing them in a specific way) or increasing the value of regular kills by... swearing at your victims. Via the ''[[TauntButton dedicated swear button]]''. These points may then be used in the game's shop where you can buy and upgrade weapons... as well as upgraded swears.

Yeah, you can see why this game is more well-regarded than its predecessor.

!!This game provide examples of:

* AGodAmI: Kamal says as much in the theatre.

* DullSurprise: The default facial state for 50 and G-Unit are rather slack-jawed and blank, even when they are stabbing people to death. Fortunately they're much more expressive in cutscenes.

* HelloInsertNameHere: Since the G-Unit partner is interchangeable, 50 never mentions his name when talking to him despite said partner usually going "YO FIDDY!" every five minutes. As the Website/GiantBomb video review says, this can give the impression that 50 is an uncaring taskmaster surrounded by a trio of sycophants.

* LargeHam: Kamal. Anwar even lampshades it:
-->'''Anwar''': Kamal's base of operations must be deep inside the theatre. He's well known for having a love of the dramatic.

-->'''Wilder''': I will mount your severed head on my gatepost!
* MadeOfIron: As the LetsPlay demonstrates, 50 Cent can take ''three [=RPGs=]'' to the chest and '''survive'''. Apparently, 50 is not simply bulletproof, but mortarproof as well.
** The [=LPers=] also theorized that, when the game was being made, the guideline "Make a sequel to ''50 Cent: Bulletproof''" eventually mutated into simply "Make 50 Cent bulletproof".
** Hell, at one point in the game itself, 50 actually ''[[BadassBoast claims]]'' to be bulletproof!
--->'''General Ironicus''': ''{{I knew it}}!''

** Chip and Ironicus' LP showcases a particularly hilarious one when 50 Cent dies and gets caught on a countertop, frantically twitching his way over it to the other side. They also demonstrate that the physics combined with counter-kills don't exactly work as they should - mooks killed with the neck-snap tend to immediately shoot down to the ground, often two feet or more away from where you actually killed them, as soon as Fiddy lets go of them, and at least two occasions in the LP show another punch-centric counter-kill resulting in Fiddy apparently punching the other guy so hard that they teleport ''behind'' him.
* RealIsBrown: So extremely brown that the [=LPers=] thought there was something wrong with the video.
** Chapter 8's levels have a very strange blue filter, possibly to hide a lighting glitch.

* ShoutOut: Some of the achievement titles, such as [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Lord Of The Bling]].

* StealthParody: WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation's take on it.

* HighConcept: The page quote easily sums up the entire game.

* MadeOfIron: As the LetsPlay demonstrates, 50 Cent can take [[strike:an RPG]] ''three [=RPGs=]'' to the chest and '''survive'''. Apparently, 50 is not simply bulletproof, but mortarproof as well.

* MortonsFork: The MultipleEndings path mentioned below, if you open the shutters, you apparently doom Leila and her family to death, but [[spoiler:Leila betrays you in either path, and it's left up in the air whether she was even telling the truth about her family (though she dies if you do open the shutters, just personally at 50 Cent's hands)]].

* NoCutsceneInventoryInertia: When 50 is holding a rifle in a cutscene, it will switch between an M4 and an AK every single time the camera angle changes.

* AbortedArc: In the opening cutscene, Anwar mentions a man nicknamed [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Harvester]] who will "tear [50 Cent] apart piece by piece" should they ever cross paths. He is never mentioned again. [[spoiler: However, judging by some dialog during the last level, it could be implied that Wilder is either The Harvester or [[WhatCouldHaveBeen a character who replaced The Harvester at some point during the game's development.]]]]
* AGodAmI: Kamal says this in the theatre.

-->'''G-Unit''': "How the fuck is Raoul supposed to deliver in here?"\\
'''50''': "[[HandWave Shut the fuck up. I'm making a call.]]"

* ClusterFBomb: It's 50 Cent, what did you expect? There's even a swear button.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Appear as the villains.
* {{Qurac}}

* FisherKing: Implied during the [[ActionCommands takedown]] animations as 50 Cent transports mooks into a stark black and white world that, in LetsPlay/ChipCheezum's LP, is called the "Fiddy Zone".

* {{Badass}}: 50 Cent and the G-Unit. They rap songs, make their fans happy and get filthy rich. They also fight through war-torn cities and kill crazy terrorists and highly-paid and trained mercs.
** Fifty can take three rockets to the torso at once and he doesn't even flinch.
