We'd buy that for a dollar: 50 Cent sequel in latest EGM
64
We're not sure if greenlighting a sequel to a game that garnered an impressively low 47% review average is such a smart idea for Sierra if it needs to keep it from the chopping block when (and if) the Activision merger goes through. To be fair, the company was probably looking more at the million plus sales of the game in the UK and North American (you chumps) than the dismal ratings; in other words, business as usual in video game land. We don't know much about the game, outside of what's been spotted on the cover of the upcoming EGM – which promises "first looks" and, try to contain yourselves, "first screens" – but we do know how to wag our fingers in disapprobation. For shame Sierra ... for shame.

I bought 6 copies of this game at $14.95 a piece from a local game store that was going out of business. Then I traded them in for $300 worth of Wal-mart credit and bought a PSP. I swear guys, I had no idea that those purchases counted towards the 1 milion mark. I really didn't mean to be part of the reason that 50 Cent gets a sequel. Can you ever forgive me?

No, because you bought a PSP. Hell, why not, I forgive you.

a million copies... I don't know about that. I mean, I'm sure there were places that were selling this game well, but no where near this many.
the ps2 game was marked out of stock. I don't know if that counts towards sales but if it did then those numbers are way off. Even if it didn't count towards sales you are talking about a psp game and a ps2 game for $25 + tax. That alone is likely to motivate sales on any piece of crap.

Yeah, how dare you Sierra try to curb your financial woes and near bankruptcy by sequeling out an awful game that sold well to gaming idiots everywhere. For shame Sierra for following the tried and true path of any industry guided by dollars signs, for shame.

Stop hating guys this one can actually be good it was in development for a couple years now.Also, the first one sold a million copies and if this game ends up AAA it can even sell more. KZ1 sucked,but KZ2 may actually be good you guys need to give ppl another chance.

I love the Smash TV thing in RoboCop where he says "I'd buy that for a Dollar!"
