Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) and multi-platinum recording artist 50 Cent unveiled 50 Cent: Bulletproof at the E3 expo in Los Angeles. Slated to arrive this fall for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and PSP in 2006, the title will feature the voices of fellow rappers Eminem and Dr. Dre, as well as 50 Cent’s G Unit compadres, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck.
In 50 Cent: Bulletproof, the hip-hop star gets caught in a web of corruption, double-crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York’s drug underworld. Working with the unlikeliest of allies, 50 Cent takes on the most dangerous crime families in the city, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications. The game is being created in partnership with Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Records.
Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games, comments “We are delivering a 50 Cent experience that is much more than a video game. It is also a definitive collection of 50’s multi-platinum albums, G Unit mixes and music videos.”
In addition to lending his voice, likeness and music to the interactive project, 50 Cent has been heavily involved in the game’s creation and content, collaborating with former Sopranos exec producer Terry Winter, who wrote the game’s script and the screenplay for 50 Cent’s upcoming feature film, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
50 Cent: Bulletproof will feature new songs recorded exclusively for the game, as well as tracks for the best-selling albums Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and The Massacre. In addition, the game will offer a sound studio mode in which gamers can mix and match new, original freestyles by 50 Cent with new beats straight from the G Unit camp.
