Extremely Repetitive [Posted on 2005-05-09]
State of Emergency was released the spring after Grand Theft Auto III became a national obsession. Published by the same company (Rockstar - but developed by now out-of-business developer VIS) the game successfully cashed-in on Grand Theft Auto's success. Featuring similar ultra-violent, mission based gameplay, State of Emergency actually plays nothing like GTA.
The game takes place during massive riots, (the game's claim to fame being the more than one hundred characters on screen at once), and you play as one of a number of characters rebelling against The Corporation. There are three levels each featuring about fifty missions to complete amidst the chaos. Trouble is, the missions are all mindless and repetitive, and are virtually all just a slight variation on a basic formula: you'll either be sent to kill a target, sent to protect a target and/or escort him or her somewhere else, or you'll be sent to destroy a building, car, or area. The missions are fun for a short while, but once you realize you're just performing the same task over and over again, it quickly grows tired.
Some of the minigames are fun, however, and rather than being mission based, they are generally based on time and points - you'll kill people or destroy property while collecting extra time from downed enemies while racing against the clock, and you'll keep coming back for more trying to beat your best score.
The gameplay, however, is still simple and boring; just a 3-D beat-em-up, with a few attack buttons and a handful of weapons to wield (though the ability to pick up some smaller objects floating around each level, like benches, is a welcome feature). And yes, it is an ultraviolent game, despite the cartoonish visuals. Blood sprays realistically as you fire in to crowds, taking down innocent civilians; pink blobs (guts) pop out when people are shot, limbs and heads come off (you can wield them as weapons, in fact)... it's all mindless and gimmicky.
Sure, it's really cheap these days, and if you're really interetsed I'd say go for it, but it really isn't even worth a rental.

repeative but ok [Posted on 2005-07-08]
Title basically said it all. This game was ok at first but it got old quick. Every level acts and looks the same. I found it more fun just running around shooting people, not going with any story line but that got old quick. This game is worth renting, playing two or three times but that's about it.

Only fun if you like repitition [Posted on 2005-09-19]
Here are two reasons why you shouldn't buy this game:

1. Mercenaries

2. Any Grand Theft Auto Game after GTA2

Not fun [Posted on 2006-08-20]
Mindless repetitive missions and lackluster gameplay. Just isn't fun, even for the couple bucks I paid for it.

Classic rock star game! [Posted on 2008-04-29]
