I have the ps2 version and had a blast. The story mode is so-so, go from mision to mission and your having fun shooting maiming and destroying.

The real fun though is rampage mode. In ramapge mode your given a amount of time and you go on a rampage. You exted time and get points by killing and destroying things. Killing in mellee combat gets you more time and points than a ranged weapon will. This is one of the best ways to blow off some time, I see it sort of like a fighting game in this repsect. It's something you can put in for 10 minutes here and there while your waiting for to leave, or before a show, or for someone to get ready so you can go.

When it comes down to it what better way is there to spend time than to grab a mini-gun and blow someone into bloody chunks pick up their arm and beat their friends to death with it.(chest cavities and heads are fun too) This is a seriously over the top violent/gore game parents be warned.

It will only hurt for a little while.

I am of course referring to the PS2 version, but I feel it is my duty to warn any one that has not already played this game to beware. It was disguised as the "most controversial game ever" by some gaming magazines. Yeah right.....the only contoversy I saw was, "what in the heck happened to my hard earned money?"

In all fairness this game was fun for about an hour. Seeing the same chartacters over and over and over was more than I could take. Fortunately, I was able to take it back to my local video game shop confessing I had made a horrible mistake buying it.

Rockstar tried to pull a fast one by shipping this one soon after GTA3. Don't let anyone fool you...you could skip this game and never miss it.

You get what you pay for.

I hope my title is off, really. They are adding multiplayer, which may be the closest anyone gets to GTA multi for a long while--thanks PS2, you bixatch. There was talk of the missions being redone so as to not be so monotonous, as well. I'm also curious to see how this one ports to XBOX. The key word there is 'port', as in 'hardly ever any good.' For the price of a CD, I may try it again, though I strongly urge you to wait for the gamespot.com or ign.com review before you pick this up. Better to be safe...(ends with an adage and an elipsis, but why?)

Are you kidding me?

The PS2 Version------Ok, they say this game is very controversial...far from it. U need an id to buy it (well u did at one point) no need 4 that. They should have done that to the GTA series, now thats a baaad game All the violence is cartoon...BORING. Cartoon heads flying off is nothing compared to gore like SOF 1&2. If you want to waste some money for a quick laugh...buy it. That guy is right, it is good for playing 10 minutes here and there...but who wants to waste money to do that? If ur smart, u wont buy this game-trust me

Not as bad as they say...

Before i go any farther,completly disregard all of the comments you read about the ps2 version. A good portion of why that versiion was so shallow was the lack of multiplayer. That problem is fixed in this version. Although this certainly isn't the greatest game ever, it is always fun for an hour at a time, and for that reason it is worth at least trying.

Huge Improvements

This game was released at such a great price, this is the perfect game to vent your frustrations on. I used to play the game on PS2 when it first came out and I must say the Xbox is a HUGE imrpovement over the PS2 version. The multiplayer is fun and there's lots of different modes to play. Graphics don't lag when there's a lot of people on the screen.

Great Buy

Rockstar really put some effort into making this game not "be bad". I can see how the PS2 version was lackluster, especially at a ... price tag. not delivering on the promises made, but those issues have been corrected in the XBOX version. The environments are large and interactive, with a large selection of weapons, and fairly intuitive game mechanics. With the addition of multiplayer, both coop and deathmatch, and at the super low debut price, it suddenly becomes a steal of a game.

tons of fun

I got this game today for X Box, I payed $ for it and from what I know it just came out. Ive never played the PS2 version, I didnt even know it existed until 3 minutes ago...This game is great, Im not saying its the best but for $ you cant go wrong...If you like killing people and blowing things up in a free for all environment GTA sytle get this game, thats all it is, running around town in the middle of a riot killing people and blowing stuff up...theres multiplayer too, i havent played that yet but ill bet its good...there are 2 ways to play, one I already mentioned, pointlessly killing mass amounts of people, the other way is a mission type game, like in GTA, you can play where you do missions for some guy, or just beat and shoot people to death...have fun.

Awesome

State of Emergency is awesome.You can kill thousands of people and do some very fun GTA like missions(but without vehicles).The addition of multiplayer is a great bonus for Xbox owners and they took away the frustrating missions from the PS2 version.At the price,you should purchase this game.
