Blood on the Sand Goes Across the World

THQ Inc. has announced today (Feb. 24) that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, the action-packed sequel to the multi-million unit selling title 50 Cent: Bulletproof, has shipped to retail outlets worldwide. The game offers the ultimate 50 Cent experience, featuring fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay. 

It comes with online co-op and a soundtrack comprised of over 40 songs, including 50 Cent’s greatest hits and an album of tracks. The game is now available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system for the suggested retail price of $59.99.  

“50 Cent has a larger-than-life persona that translates remarkably well to the world of video games,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president, global brand management. “By combining intense single player combat, drop-in and drop-out online co-op and never-before-released music, we were able to deliver a great looking game that appeals to hip hop fans and gamers alike.”  

About the game: After performing a sold-out concert in a fictional war-torn country, 50 Cent and the G-Unit are robbed of their cash and paid in kind with a priceless diamond encrusted skull, which is subsequently stolen by the local crime-lord’s gang.  

Determined to collect his payment and enact revenge on the gangsters foolish enough to disrespect him, 50 Cent sets out to get rich or die trying. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand features intense third-person action/shooter gameplay, an intuitive cover system, drop in and drop out online multiplayer co-op, merciless melee counter-kills and a soundtrack that combines 50 Cent’s greatest hits with 18 exclusive new tracks.  

It puts players in control of their own virtual action film by blending stunning visuals from the Unreal 3 game engine technology with an over-the-top story and voiceover work by 50 Cent and the G-Unit’s Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, and DJ Whoo Kid.
