could have been better

I have good news and bad news. First the good news, the graphics while never amazing are pretty damn good and good likenesses of all the characters, if you like the music genre, you will LOVE the tunes in this game, the unlockable extras are insane (videos, music, characters, etcetera...) and the story which is pretty shallow and heavily clichéd is still serviceable enough. The bad news is that a VERY poor control scheme and below par camera angles negate pretty much all of the good news. This game would be a breeze for any serious gamer to get through in no time at all, except those poor ass controls make this game way less fun than it could have possibly been. That said, if you're a fan of 50 Cent and/or G-Unit, give this one a go. You could do worse, but then again you could do much better too.

My Grade: C
