    It's way too short, but the game does go over the top in both the action and the premise, and it is fun.

    This poorly designed camera cannot keep up in many situations.

    Manic, frenzied and violent gaming at it’s gripping best.

    A brilliant renaissance for the once dominant beat-em-up genre...[but] you realize that this is an extremely short title posing as an epic undertaking in its revolution mode.

    After the blood-soaked honeymoon is over, you'll see the game in the harsh morning light and wonder if it was worth it.

    Such virtual destruction may once have seemed innocent, but these days the whole thing hits a little close to home.

    It’s like on your 16th birthday where you’re expecting a set of keys that will unlock a brand new car but instead you get an all-season bus pass. Except multiply that disappointment by about fifty times and you have what it feels like to play State of Emergency.
