{{quote|'''''"Bitch took my skull!"'''''|''50 Cent'', describing the game's central conflict}}
''50 Cent: Blood On The Sand'' is a third person shoot em up featuring rapper [[Fifty Cent|50 Cent]] [[As Himself]] as the main character. Though technically a sequel to the [[The Problem With Licensed Games|not well received]] ''50 Cent: Bulletproof'', this game managed to get average critical acclaim... and a ton of [[So Bad
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 24:
* [[Bloody Hilarious]]: You can shoot your teammate as much as you like, he won't mind or lose health (or even react). However, if he is standing next to a wall, you could technically paint the wall with his blood.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Eighty percent of the people 50 Cent meets in the game.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Collection Sidequest]]: In which Fiddy grabs promotional posters of... himself.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Short-range weapons are blue and take blue ammo, assault rifles and machine guns are yellow, special weapons like sniper rifles and rocket launchers are red. Enemies will also wear shirts color-coded to this so you can tell at a glance what they're armed with.
Line 33:
* [[Gatling Good]]: One sequence has you manning a helicopter mini gun and laying waste to an enemy base.
* [[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.
* [[Hey
* [[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.
Line 54:
* [[Shout Out]]: Some of the achievement titles, such as [[The Lord of the Rings (Literature)|Lord Of The Bling]].
* [[Stealth Parody]]: [[Zero Punctuation]]'s take on it.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: In addition to the dedicated swear button, 50 Cent will often yell out something like "suck on this!" when tossing a grenade.
* [[Token Romance]]: Leila {{spoiler|...and then she backstabs 50}}.
* [[Zillion Dollar Bill]]: The skull.
