User Rating: 5 | State of Emergency PS2
State of Emergency was one of those games you either adored or abhorred. Released by publisher Rockstar Games right around the time before Grand Theft Auto III came out. State of Emergency certainly wasn't the deepest game around. It was essentially a hysterically violent arcade beat-'em-up that tasked you with scoring points by causing as much chaos as you could and starting big, crazy riots, with hundreds of panicking people running around like frightened sheep. It was amusing for sure, but not everyone was able to latch onto it. Enter State of Emergency. When you first see the action, you will think it's great, because your screen is full of people running around, but when you start playing for a while, you'll notice it is just too repetitive, that's quite disappointing because before the release of Grand Theft Auto III, we expect to see a great game from Rockstar, but State of Emergency was a total letdown.
