50 Cent: Bulletproof
LOS ANGELES (May 18, 2005) – Vivendi Universal Games (“VU Games”) and 50 Cent today debuted 50 Cent®: Bulletproof at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (“E3”), the game industry’s largest global event, May 18-20, 2005. In his videogame debut, 50 Cent, the multi-platinum global hip hop sensation, is the star of 50 Cent: Bulletproof, an explosive new game coming this fall to PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, and PSP (PlayStation® Portable) entertainment system in 2006. 50 Cent: Bulletproof will feature an unprecedented lineup of the hottest recording artists in the music industry today, including 50 Cent and G Unit’s Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, as well as Eminem and Dr. Dre, who will be making their interactive debuts as the characters “McVicar” and “Grizz.” “I’m as excited about 50 Cent: Bulletproof as I am about the success of my album, The Massacre and that means a lot since music has always been my life,” said 50 Cent. “The new freestyles and the addition of Eminem and Dre show that this game is on the right course to follow in the successful footsteps of my music.” “50 Cent: Bulletproof captures the heart and soul of everything 50 Cent – his music, his life, the G Unit family – in an action-packed interactive experience with music and star power that is unrivaled,” said Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games. “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.” 50 Cent has been heavily involved in the game’s creation and content, which features the star’s voice, likeness and music. He collaborated on the game’s mechanics and storyline with former Sopranos executive producer and Emmy® award winner Terry Winter, who wrote the game's script and the screenplay for 50 Cent's forthcoming theatrical release, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
