'''''50 Cent: Blood
The majority of said value is related to the game's [[High Concept]] plot: The game begins with 50 Cent and the G-Unit finishing a concert in an [[Qurac|unnamed, war-torn Middle Eastern country]], only for the promoter to refuse to pay the promised $10 million fee due to an alleged robbery. After 50 Cent [[Sociopathic Hero|points a gun to the promoter's head]], the latter gives 50 a priceless ''[[MacGuffin|diamond encrusted skull]]'' as collateral. 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.
Line 12:
Yeah, you can see why this game is better regarded than its predecessor.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Some cultures actually decorated human skulls in ornate manners, though possibly not to the extent of the skull in this game.
* [[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.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Fisher King]]: Implied during the [[Action Commands|takedown]] animations as 50 Cent transports mooks into a stark black and white world that, in the [[Let's Play]], is called "Fiddy Space".
* [[Gatling Good]]: One sequence has you manning a helicopter mini gun and laying waste to an enemy base.
* [[A God Am I]]: Kamal says this in the
* [[Groin Attack]]: Cheezum and Ironicus in the [[Let's Play]], for no apparent reason.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: 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 [[Giant Bomb]] video review says, this can give the impression that 50 is an uncaring taskmaster surrounded by a trio of sycophants.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: The G-Unit member lampshades several of the game's over-the-top tropes, recognizes a desert castle as Napoleonic on sight, and admires the statuary in the city you're currently destroying. Even 50 is surprised by this.
* [[Improbable Use of a Weapon]]: With the aid of explosive ammo, taking out a helicopter with a handgun.
* [[Large Ham]]: Kamal. Anwar even lampshades it:
{{quote|'''Anwar''': Kamal's base of operations must be deep inside the
* [[Let's Play]]: One by [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/fiddy/ ChipCheezum and General Ironicus] which handily allows you to experience this game's lunacy without buying it.
* [[Made of Iron]]: As the [[Let's Play]] demonstrates, 50 Cent can take <s>an RPG</s> ''three RPGs'' to the chest and '''survive'''. Apparently, 50 is not simply bulletproof, but mortarproof as well.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Appear as the villains.
* [[Qurac]]
* [[Real Is Brown]]: So extremely [http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/user/2/27226-125346-50CentBloodontheSand001jpg-noscale.jpg brown]{{Dead link}} that the LPers thought there was something wrong with the video.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Again, a game where you ''play as 50 Cent, fight your way through the war torn Middle East and gain extra points by swearing at people while you shoot them.''
* [[Shout-Out]]: Some of the achievement titles, such as [[The Lord of the Rings|Lord Of The Bling]].
