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.

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.

Adult Only Game!

The Xbox version of State of Emergency is the best in the franchise, in my opinion. For a simple stress busting game, this is a perfect ten. The graphics are great, the screams and sounds of "she's gone crazy!" from the people make for a great laugh, and the sheer violence is nice knowing that this kind of thing in real life would be an absolute nightmare. However, I would not let a child see or play this game. Because of the gore and violence this is an adult only title. Aside from that, grab a machine gun or a near-by park bench and let's cause some chaos!

Happy Looting

This game is fun not because of the violence or illegal activates going on. Its fun because of the chaos. Hundreds of characters running around and you have to differentiate between friend or foe. Single player forces you to do missions to help the Freedom Fighters liberate the city from the grasp of the Evil Corporation. A few of the missions are repetitive but overall they remain fun and simplistic. Simplicity is one of the most attractive qualities of this game. The controls and game play are easy to pick up. Good thing too because you don't have much time to learn with all the panicked people and looters running around. Multiplayer is loads of fun too. Get three of your friends together and have fun shooting the crap out of each other. But no matter how fun this game is its NOT intended for children. There is a lot of violence and is not intended for children under 17.

fun for the whole fmaily.. well maybe not

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.

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.

Many improvments

As others have said before DISREGARD everything that you have read or heard about the PS2 form of this game, Xbox fixed all of those problems!

This is def. one of my favorite games that I have played yet. Its just an awsome game to do if you want to shut off your brain for a few hours and just want to go around randomly killing people with a wide variety of guns and other fun gadgets.

The plot and basis for the game did not have that much depth to it, but thats expected. I did like all the missions even if they did start to get a little repetitive after the first 30.

The graphics were good, but I didnt like the movement of some of the characters, some of them seemed very stiff and hard to control.

So as I said if you just want to play a fun game for awhile, that doesent make you have to starin your brain then def. rent/buy State of Emergency!

Mindless,super fun arcade action...

Mindless,super fun arcade action sums up State of Emergency,a riot game that is very fun.Yes,its not the deepest game around and dosen't have a whole bunch of depth,but its nice price makes it a good buy for someone who likes action and excitement.State of Emergency controls well too making it a great pick up and play game.Plus,while it may not have the greatest graphics ever and the graphics could have been improved,its cool that there are hundreds(or maybe thousands...) of pedestrians on the street with no slow down at all!Plus,there are extra features exclusive to this Xbox version of State of Emergency,including improved graphics,custom soundtrack support,and some of the frustrating mussions from the PS2 version were taken out,too.If you good old mindless fun,then buy State of Emergency(but don't expect anything too deep).

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
