  • Summary: Join the resistance and liberate your people from the oppressive Corporation. State of Emergency plunges you into a rioting mob fighting for freedom. Use hand-to-hand combat, weapons, and anything you can find on the street to add to the chaos. The streets are littered with a variety of weapons--from park benches and soda cans to flamethrowers and rocket launchers. As you fight for the cause, don't be surprised if corporate executives, law enforcement officials, and looters fight back.… Expand

    While it's not an entirely brilliant game, the multiplayer feature and the sharper graphics make this the essential version to own.

    If you just wanna run around and bust heads, this mindless, Mature-rated game is for you!

    Though the Chaos mode great fun, there really isn't much to enjoy beyond this. The wealth of game modes, secrets and graphical wizardry we saw in "Kung-fu Chaos" is simply lacking in State of Emergency.

    As far as multiplayer enjoyment goes, there are definitely some fun modes and a lot of room for craziness. [May 2003, p.91]

    People say this game gets repetitive, and I'll give them that. But I still think it's fun to run around shooting people.

    For the price, brand new, it's worth it. Its one of them games that you put in to veg out, get some stress out, and generally to just mess around. If you're critiqueing this game and saying it has "no point" and "no depth", remember, that's not always a bad thing. I ask a question, you've got ten minutes to kill, do you want to spend 2 min. on loading, 3 min. on setting up, then another 5 min. on movie + dialouge? -Captain Obvious strikes again- … Expand

    This game is OK for the first couple of hours... after that, it really sucks. You have to do almost same thing, again,agian and again...
