You can’t rewind, fast forward, or even pause – you can either start playing the video or stop playing the video and if you stop it resets back to the beginning, and the same goes for the music sets that are available. While ostensibly this is a dope extra for the G-Unit Edition the video player inside the game is somewhat suspect. Mobile features six song sets and five videos that are already unlocked for your viewing pleasure, ones you had to buy with cash collected in the game on PS2 according to Pedro’s review. Deceptively uninspiring at first glance, the New Game menu is actually four deep with Start New Game, Options, Multiplayer and G-Unit Mobile. Starting up the game and waiting through several long and noisy periods of loading time the title screen simply runs through a set of 50 instrumentals while offering you two options – New Game, and Load Game. Maybe “50 Cent: Bulletproof (G-Unit Edition)” can join that list. I bought one on launch day and haven’t regretted it since – music and movie file playback, web surfing, and an ever increasing library of excellent games. Personally I find the PSP kind of bulky for “on the go” gaming and would much rather have a Gameboy Micro on hand for long lines at the post office that slips easily into your pocket, but the PSP as a portable device is still hard to knock. I’m not exactly sure how much they can add on a smaller format disc, no matter how much they compress the data, but since RR is doing the holiday hip-hop shopping list right now we should give a shout out to the portable game playing systems too. I was dead up with the promotions company who wanted to send us this game for coverage: “Are you sure there’s anything to say about this? Pedro already did an excellent review and this is just the same game on a smaller screen.” No they replied, this is the G-UNIT EDITIONwhich means all new features and enhanced gameplay not found in the original title all those months ago. It seems the gaming community as a whole was in tune with that assessment, because Vivendi Universal decided it couldn’t hurt to repackage and re-release this game on PSP. Here’s a quick summation of his main themes – good idea, mediocre gameplay, not bad overall but probably recommended only for hardcore 50 Cent fans. You may be getting a feeling of deja vu reading this review – in effect saying to yourself “Haven’t I been here and done this before?” That’s not your mind playing tricks on you, because almost eight months ago Pedro ‘DJ Complejo’ Hernandezreviewed the ORIGINAL 50 Cent: Bulletproof game made for the PlayStation 2.
