Game Description
Intended exclusively for mature players, this unapologetically violent game features the monetarily monikered rapper in its starring role, as a streetwise tough seeking revenge against a mysterious gang of thugs that filled him with lead and left him for dead. The hero can gain access to a variety of firearms and other weapons, and can learn more than 25 deadly reversal moves. In the third-person shooter style of the popular 128-bit generation Grand Theft Auto games, players follow a series of missions that lead them through the game's storyline.Bulletproof features previously unreleased music and video by 50 Cent, and the game allows players to set up their own music and video play lists of this included material. The voices and likenesses of other famous musicians portray supporting characters, including Lloyd Banks (lock pick), Tony Yayo (demolitions expert), and Young Buck (weapon specialist) as members of 50's G-Unit posse, Eminem as the "shady" Detective McVicar, and rap music luminary Dr. Dre as the wizened back-alley arms dealer Grizz.

50 Cent: Bulletproof is a video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox platforms. It was developed in response to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[citation needed] after 50 Cent was asked to voice the game's protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson with 50 Cent stating that he will only voice himself in video games. The game was reworked into a PlayStation Portable version and titled 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition, with a top-down perspective.
The titular protagonist is hip hop musician 50 Cent playing himself. The story revolves around 50 Cent's search for vengeance, hunting down the hitmen that attempted to murder him. The game also features Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, and Young Buck, members of the G-Unit rap crew, as 50's gang. Dr. Dre plays an arm dealer, Eminem plays a corrupt police officer, and DJ Whoo Kid playing as himself as a person selling "bootlegged" music (of the G-Unit camp) out of his trunk. There is also a video game soundtrack album available titled, Bulletproof, and released by DJ Red Heat's Shadyville Entertainment. It also won "Best Original Song" in the 2005 Spike TV Video Game Awards. A sequel, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, was released. The PS2 version of the game includes the ability to watch about a dozen 50 Cent music videos and listen to music tracks via the in-game pause menu; more videos and music are unlocked as the game progresses.

G-Unit edition
On August 29, 2006, Vivendi Games released a G-Unit edition for the PlayStation Portable. While the story and cutscenes are the same as the console counterpart, the game eschews the third-person perspective gameplay for a top-down, isometric viewpoint. Also added is multiplayer gameplay through ad hoc wireless connectivity. The PlayStation Portable version also featured a "Vitamin Water" mini-game in which you played as 50-Cent at the apex of his business endeavors.

50 Cent Bulletproof received generally negative reviews due to poor gameplay mechanics. It received 1 out of 5 and a Golden Mullet from X-Play.[5]
However, it received a positive rating of 8/10 from PlayStation Official Magazine.
The PlayStation Portable G-Unit Edition was also poorly received by critics. GameSpot's Alex Navarro did, however, say that it was a better game than the PS2 or Xbox versions, but it still was not a "good" game, stating "While you can argue that G Unit Edition is better than the original Bulletproof, all you're talking about is a lighter shade of lousy."[6]
