Save ten bucks and buy it at best buy

I bought this game, primarily, because it looked interesting and it was only $19 at Best Buy. It's okay. No big shakes, really- you are a member of a liberation organization set to bring down an evil corporation which runs the lives of the citizenry. Ultimately predictable, although oddly addictive (especially for those with insomnia- if you can't sleep, and don't want to concentrate on things like plot, it's the game to have). For twenty dollars, the pros outweigh the cons. DON'T spend any more than twenty dollars for it, though! I'm SO glad I didn't shell out fifty bucks for it, when it first came out!
Warning to parents: it's violent to the extreme (shooting innocent people who are running away from you, and blowing off the heads of gang members with shotguns), so may not be suitable for a lot of kids.

"State of Emergency" really puts you in a State of emergency when you spend so much on it and it turns out to be the worse game you have ever purchased. The graphics, well theyre okay. But the gameplay has no meaning. You are running around like a lunatic with no substancial goal to achieve. Overall the game serves no meaning and its a waste of money, aswell as time. If you were expecting another GTA3, this game is no where near it!!!

Worth a weekend of rental, but not much more.

This game is great fun for about three hours. After that, it just grows a little boring. Unlike GTA 3, which had a story line to keep you involved and interested, this game's most fun part is just the "Chaos mode" in which you run around killing and breaking things. It grows old though. There is a story mode in the game, but unlike GTA 3, where you can pass up a mission if you feel you just can't do it, or at least run off and play some "Taxi Mode" to get your mind of that mission you just can't beat, the mission mode in this game is completely linear. You have to go through the missions one after another. If you can't beat a mission, you're stuck and you have to keep pounding your head against that wall until your head burst open out of frustration, or you manage to get lucky. So, like I said in the title, it's a whole bunch of good fun for a little while, but not all that long. You're better off renting this one and having your fill of it over a weekend than dropping the cash and throwing it in with all your old games after a few days. Definitely try to play it though -- the first two hours of play will have you chuckling like a mad man in need of being locked up.

Pretty Damn Good

At first, I was hesitant to buy this game without ever playing it. The first half hour of playing it, I wondered why I had spent my money on it. As with most games, though, it took awhile to get into it. After completing the few early missions, the storyline got better and you realize what every mission is gearing towards. The only problem with this game is that there are many, many missions to complete each level, which there are 4 levels. Other than that, the game is flawless. Interesting story, fun missions, challenging, great weapons, etc. Overall, this game lives up to its expectations. There has been a lot of confusion about the release date of this game. I called a Best Buy right next to my house, and they said it wasn't even released yet. I called a Best Buy across town, and they had about 50 of them. This game came out on Tuesday, Feb. 12!

Rockstar's newest hit. This game is all havoc. Ever imagine throwing a flame at a car and letting it blow up or smashing windows with bats? Then this is the game. Gets boring after a while because all you do is non-stop missions. Definently a rental, only buy if your into havoc.
Pros-
Great Graphics
Pure Havoc

Cons-
Horrible camera (when you're shooting a car and some guy comes and tries to kill u you cant shoot the car the camera turns)
No aiming

What would be the point of playing?

SOE is no Grand Theft Auto, unlike some I was not expecting it to live up to GTA. I must admit though after playing Vice City I found SOE to be much faster and smoother. I wish this game was incorporated into GTA.
When I first got State of Emergency I thought that it would not be the deepest game but always replayable. Well it's not. It gets dry fast after putting it back in.

Its cool

I bought this game expecting it to be something like GrandTheftAuto III, I was very dissapointed. You can play as an ex-cop or lawyer(there are other playable characters but only if you meet the requirements). Basicly you run around and meet with individuals who represent a group who disagree with the current government. They inturn give you "missions" to accomplish that help their cause. In short all you do is kill and kill and blow up cars and buildings...brake windows and kill and kill some more. The more havoc you cause the higher the score will get. Every now and then you have have to protect someone by killing and more killing. And in those missions it's very annoying because the one your protecting always seems to die really quick and sometimes it's you who accidently kills them. There are a number of weapons at your disposal lying around the streets and inside the building or if choose to you could fight it out with your hands and feet. I like the lawyer (she happens to use the martial arts which is very cool to watch). This game is very alive with the whole population of the city running around luting the nearby stores and running off with the items in their hands. It's a good game for a very short time but it gets old very fast you just get bored doing the same thing over and over. If you expect GTAIII then don't even bother renting this game it's not worth the hard earned cash that you or your parents worked so hard for. But if you like running around causing havoc this this your game but rent it first is my advice to you. Hope I helped some.

one heck of a game

wow, this is an awesome game. it lacks the depth of grand theft auto 3, but the plot is there is a revolution going on and you are in the middle of it, basically. the first level is in the mall, where you shoot people, and pick up rather interesting things to kill people with, like kegs of beer, human heads and arms, chairs, caution signs, TV's, etc. its almost like final fight or fighting force gone haywire! this is a great game, and its more like an arcade game than grand theft auto, it has a life-meter like 1 on 1 fighting games...but its fun and just as addciting. grand theft auto 3 and state of emergency while made by the same people and share a similar theme, the games are completely different. check this game out!! its worth it!

One of the reasons to own a PS2
