State of Emergency is a mixture of fighting, shooting, breaking things and blowing things up! (including people x)
The game is divided into 2 main modes - "Revolution" & "Chaos". Revolution is really quite poor - it involves 50 (or so) objectives for each of the 4 stages/maps. Some are fun - the assasination missions for example, but most of the time u'll be cursing the missions (escort ones for instance) that are very hard simply because the camera angle doesn't allow u to see whats in front of u quickly enuff...
I think Rockstar realised this as they have produced a very simple code to pass the current mission (L,L,L,L,triangle). I give this mode about 5/10.
That leaves us with the Chaos mode. Now this is much more fun! The aim here is not to escort anyone, but to blow things up and kill the infamous corporation members! Its like a survival mode but with loads of rioting people/gangs and riot police! As u score more points, the harder the game gets - with more riot police that are also better armed and more gang members (also more heavily armed)
There are 4 maps, which are quite big and have many fine graphical details. The sound FX are good too, I especially like the sound of empty shell cases hitting the ground! Overall, I give this mode 10/10 - it really is that fun! but I'm not sure how long it will last...
Bad pts:
Camera that doesn't stay behind the player, revolution mode isn't fun, could use more modes in chaos and more maps, should have more high score tables (instead of just score, e.g. max cars blown up, etc), sometimes cars don't blow up with machine guns, also its hard sometimes to hit people on the ground.
Good pts:
A game that doesn't have any cute characters bouncing on mushrooms using their arse! Chaos mode, gd graphix & FX, music is gd (for a game), varied levels that are quite big, very fun adult-orientated game!
