Where's my skull?

When first hearing about this game I thought there would be NO chance I would be buying this or even renting it (i'm not a big renter) as I am not really a fan of 50 Cent and what I saw and read of the last game was all bad. Even though I like to think that reviews don't influence what I buy and that I just read/watch them for pure informational purposes and to get my fix of Jeff, Ryan, Brad and Vinnie, when watching Jeff's review of this game I literally was crying with laughter and desided I must check it out. I ended up buying it because as I said before I'm not a big renter and have been having fun with it ever since. A word of warning though, if you have to decide between this and say Gears of War 2, go with the latter. As a game it has a few faults like the maylee combat, repetitiveness and dumb AI, but if you can look past those you will find a very enjoyable game that is hilarious in it's over-the-top 50ness (whether it's meant to be or not). For those of you that do rent games, I would definitely recommend this. For everyone else, if you go into this with little to no expectations, you just might be pleasantly surprised.
