Graphics: 8/10
The graphics are very good in this game. I went into the game with low expectations (considering the last 50 Cent game release). The in-game rendering, images, and colors really put you into the desert. The most interesting thing that this game does well are the explosions, and the animations of the deaths. The shadows, lighting effects, and motions are good, and get you into the game. The enemies, though generic and repetitive, are well done, and the boss battles look great when in the heat of the mix.
Sound: 9/10
What gives this game a 9/10 in the sound department is the soundtrack. If you are a “50” fan, you will love this soundtrack. I wanted to keep playing the game to progress further and to obtain more and more songs. The score to the game is great too. The explosions, enemy banter, and side commentary really fill in this game. Don’t let your kids play it though.
The voice acting is good for what it is. What is impressive is that they were able to get Lance Reddick (The Wire/ Fringe) for a cameo role.
Controls: 7/10
The game is easy to pick up and play if you are a fan of the Gears of War series. The controls get a little sketchy when you want to run from cover to cover, or when you want to pinpoint a grenade throw. The shooting aspect is very well done, but the movement and cover controls knock this score down a bit.
Gameplay: 7/10
Let me start by saying that when playing this game with a friend in the co-op mode, there is nothing better. But if you have to go it solo, this is still a fun experience. This game can be completed in about 4-8 hours (depending on skill level and difficulty setting), but it is an enjoyable experience. It is a through back to some fun gaming without the serious overtones found in many games.
Replay Value – 6/10
This is a good game, and a fun game, to play. The game is not too serious, and silly on it’s premise of why 50 Cent is fighting the Middle East. This being said, this was an enjoyable playing experience, especially in co-op mode, to go through. All I can say is that if you disregarded this game because of it being a 50 Cent game, take another look and you won’t be disappointed.
If you liked Gears of War, then you may like this.
