State of Emergency: "100ccs of Fun, STAT! Boredom Causing Him To Flatline!"

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 24 '02
Pros: Fun for 15 minutes.
Cons: If you want the SOE Experience, buy GTA3, and turn on the violent civilian mode.
I enjoyed Grand Theft Auto 3, and I had heard about State of Emergency long before GTA3. I was looking forward to SOE up until I found out that it was based on the GTA3 engine. If you played GTA3 you know that the part of the game that is done the...

Thou Shall Not Kill

by xeno3998 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 29 '02
Pros: pretty fun Revolution mode
Cons: levels overlong and repetitive
Wow.... the last thing I expected was VIS's State of Emergency to blow me away. The truth is, after reading so many negative reviews, I was just about to scratch it off my lists forever. I'm quite glad I didn't do that, as this is one of the most...

State of Crumagency

by Rock_On Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 17 '02
Pros: yo yo yo
Cons: ho ho ho
Since my PS2 has been collecting dust for the last couple months(due to the Game Cube and my recent purchase, the Dream Cast), when I got a thing of coupons from Family Video, I ran up there real quick after coming home from school and rented State of...

Chaos, It's a Good Thing!

by crimsonbeast , Jan 09 '04
Pros: Fun, chaotic, nice graphics, and pretty good selection of weapons.
Cons: Very repetitive and not much replay value
Even though this game was released over 2 years ago I decided to try it out. I somewhat expected more from this game and was more than disappointed after playing the story mode, Revolution. SoE does have some factors that I was expecting from a ...

Jack Of All Games? I Think Not

by pavona21 , Mar 20 '02
Pros: What The Hell Is Up With This Title?
Cons: "Pianist" Is A Funny Word
What Exactly Is A "Jack Of All Games"
About 2 minutes ago, I sat down on the good old computer chair, knowing that I was going to write a review, but not knowing what it would be about. I once again looked for Universal Studios Theme Park...

A city wide crisis caused by you.

by ChromeKiller Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 22 '02
Pros: Blowing up buildings, blowing up people, blowing up everything.
Cons: Repetitive gameplay and annoying sounds.
If Grand Theft Auto 3 wasn't enough of a bloodletting and disturbing game for you, then Rockstar has a new breed of killer that's fun for the whole family (an insane family, anyway). Combining forms of Grand Theft Auto 3, and classic arcade style...

Anarchy: A Good Thing?

by gorocco Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 03 '02
Pros: Frantic game world
Cons: Repetitive, especially the Revolution mode, single player only
Hot off the heels of the smash hit Grand Theft Auto 3, Rockstar Games throws us into a State of Emergency. Similar to Grand Theft Auto 3, SOE uses the fundamental idea that chaos is a good [and very marketable] thing. The similarities end there,...

An Anarchist's Dream

by heyjoe16 , Aug 18 '02
Pros: Music, Story, Weapons
Cons: not much variety
Total Anarchy
This game makes me think about the song by the band, Sublime, which appeared on their self tittled CD. It is named April 29, 1992(Miami). This song is about riots.

"April 29th 1992 there was riot on the...

One opinion on State Of Emergency

by kwts , Apr 11 '02
Pros: Not many, decent graphics, somewhat addictive at first
Cons: -Poor attempt at story, some missions are luck, boredom sets in quickly, no mulit-player mode
I have to say I was very much looking forward to SOE promising to be a free roaming Double Dragon type game with lots to do especially a game coming from Rockstar who recently produced the superb grand theft auto 3. Unlike grand theft auto 3 there was...

Rockstar Forgot to Bake the Cake Before they Frosted It

by snow_cow , Sep 04 '05
Pros: Smooth framerate and graphics. Absolute insanity.
Cons: Stale gameplay formula, lacks depth and longevity.
Playing State of Emergency, a game which now retails for less than ten dollars preowned at your local video game store, is a lot like eating a pigeon. There’s not a whole lot of it, but what’s there is pretty good and when finished, you feel ...

Riot Control Gone Out of Control

by JayDukes , Feb 27 '02
Pros: Overwhelming violence, a few extra modes of play, and fully interactive environments…
Cons: …but a lack of character models, not enough stages, and it’s only one player.
After a rough day on the job, have you ever felt like chucking a live grenade into your work building? How about taking a high-caliber weapon and mowing down that mob of pedestrians that are holding you up while you try to get home? Or maybe even blow...

State of Mediocrity

by pixeljerk , Mar 09 '02
Pros: Mind-numbing fun.
Cons: Repetitive, no incentives or motivation to keep playing.
State Of Emergency is from Rockstar, the company that seems to be comfortable in the mature-rated video game category. They should be, because they're very talented at making games kids should never, ever play. SoE's older brother, Grand Theft Auto III,...

A Game For The Ultra-Violent

by MR_SaturN , Mar 08 '02
Pros: Smooth, colourful graphics, original gameplay.
Cons: Repetitiveness, and some may find it a little TOO violent.
I was in a local Blockbuster Video store, looking for a new Playstation 2 game to rent. I was browsing the aisles, when I came across a game called State Of Emergency. It had a stereotypical fat latino gang member-type flashing a gang symbol on...

Wow this game is messed up.

by steakphish , Mar 01 '02
Pros: Utter chaos, explosions, violent.
Cons: Repetetiveness is the name of the game.
Let's get one thing straight: this game is NOT Grand Theft Auto 3. Just because it was published by the same company doesn't mean that it's the same type of gameplay. Apples and oranges people.
State of Emergency sets new standards in gaming...

"14 YEAR OLD Goes on Shooting Rampage in Local Mall"

by hearseman , May 13 '02
Pros: Excellent graphics and sound
Cons: Made me queezy feeling, got bored, shallow game play
Let me start off by saying this, I see NO connection between kids (or adults for that matter) going on violent tirades and their playing of violent video games or listening to (insert your hated type) music. There are more influential pressures that do...
