In State of Emergency, you play as one of five selectable characters that's going up against the Corporation--a tyrannical group that has the city in an iron grip. The city is in a state of disarray and the citizens are rebelling. Amazingly, up to 250 characters can riot onscreen at once. It's shocking that the developers were able to render so many moving characters while keeping a smooth frame rate. Basic gameplay consists of picking up numerous weapons and objects to cause as much damage as humanly possible. Providing context to the mindless violence are the revolution and chaos modes. The former is the game's story mode and features more than 175 missions, while the latter is a single-session mode with a few variations.
For the most part, the game is an enjoyable cacophony of senseless violence, but there are some flaws. Although the revolution mode boasts an impressive number of missions, they do get repetitive. The game screams for a multiplayer mode, but it's strictly one player. In spite of these flaws, the game remains addictive and fun. It bears repeating that gamers looking for another GTA III will not find it here: this game provides an arcadelike experience that's excellent, but in a very different way. Parents should note that this game carries a Mature rating for its blood, violence, and gore. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros:
- Amazing number of characters onscreen simultaneously
- Simple beat-'em-up gameplay
- A vast arsenal with which to inflict damage
- Missions get repetitive
- No multiplayer mode
- Bland soundtrack

Customer Reviews of State of Emergency
Fun in short, violent plays. Madness otherwise. THE SHORT: Kill thousands of unarmed civilians (or just the boring "Corporation" to the beat of your own tunes. Fun in short plays, madness with lengthy exposure. <
> <
>THE LONG: This is about as arcade as stuff gets. Pick one of several cliched but fun characters, go to one of several lively locations, grabe one of a multitude of weapons, and kill. And kill. And kill. You just run around and shoot or swing, and, uh, "try" not to hit any innocents (It's funny that you are penalized for killing them only some of the time, and I swear that the announcer sounds disappointed when he tells you that the penalty phase is beginning). <
> <
>The game was huge news when it came out in late, if I recall, 2001. It was at first thought to be as good as Grand Theft Auto was, that is until people played it. In fact it's an extremely limited game, consisting of killing, blowing stuff up, or taking on the storyline which consists of those things as well as fetch and escort missions. The latter become tiresome after a while and are frustrating in that failure means repetition until success. So you'll probably spend most of your time playing the mindless "Chaos" or free mode. It all consists of basically trying to complete small objectives within each of the few levels, and there are lots of powerups and weapons to grab. <
> <
>There are better action games of this nature (Smash TV for example) and better violent games (Manhunt). But if you just want to waste an hour or two seeing how much blood you can spill and how high a score you can rack up, this is a good choice. I don't think the game is really much more than a 2, but I give this version a 3 because of the outstanding ability to listen to your own tunes thanks to the Xbox's hard drive. On the PS2, killing was fun and all, but there's nothing quite like doing it to the strains of "Whiskey in The Jar" by Metallica, "Walk a Crooked Mile" by Motorhead, "Crush 'Em" by Megadeth, or pretty much anything by They Might Be Giants (then again, it's always a good time when they're playing). <
> <
>Good old mindless shooting and killing, as long as you (A) don't keep at it for too long at a time and (B) most importantly, are a smart enough individual to know that it's a game and something NOT to try at home. Or anywhere else.
