Interview: 50 Cent Speaks on Bulletproof, Gaming

The rapper sheds light on the recently released Bulletproof, the first game based on his own life.

Bulletproof is finally out, and we were lucky enough to nail down a quick chat with 50 Cent himself about games, including the rapper's influence on the development process of 50 Cent: Bulletproof. Enjoy!


GamePro: First off, what are your favorite games?
50 Cent: Bulletproof of course. Other than that, old school games like Tetris and Pac Man.

GP: Would you ever consider endorsing a non-action game like On the Mic or a racing/streetball game?
50: Absolutely.

GP: We understand that you're involved with the folks at Gamer Graffix, the world's largest manufacturer of console skins. How did you get involved in the world of Gamer Graffix?
50: With the video game Bulletproof coming out, it was a no brainer. But more than that, the team behind Gamer Graffix is incredible. I knew being associated with them would be a successful business move.

GP: Do you consider yourself a hardcore gamer? What are your current favorite games?
50: I don't know that I would say I am hardcore, but I definitely enjoy my video games. There is a lot of down time out on tour, and when I'm not working on new ideas, the game gives me a bit of a distraction and mental break from work. Of course my current favorite game is Bulletproof.

GP: How much input did you have on Bulletproof's gameplay? Did the developer Genuine Games ever make any changes based on your feedback?
50: A lot of input. In the development stages I would suggest various things and Vivendi Universal was always willing to listen and make changes if needed.

GP: What's your favorite aspect of Bulletproof? Do you have any favorite weapons in the game?
50: I think they did a great job with the characters...actually, with everything. And having so much music available on the game has never been done before.

GP: Lastly, what do you think about the upcoming next-generation consoles: The Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, and Nintendo's Revolution? Are you rooting for any of them in particular?
50: Nah, I like them all.
