basically you are a rioter and you go round killing the riot police ,looting buildings and killing each otherBetween GTA3 and State of Emergency, Rockstar has the "nonstop jack move" genre locked down. State of Emergency puts you in a quarantined city. Since people are trapped in the city, they're taking to the streets in droves. You are one of these people, and it's up to you how you progress from there.
Much of State of Emergency is mission-based. Some people on the street will dole out missions to you, such as looting five VCRs and bringing them to a truck or drawing two rival gangs together so they eliminate each other. Throughout the entire game, the streets are absolutely packed. Currently, the game can handle around 100 people onscreen at once, and the goal is to get that number up to and over 200 by the time the game ships later this year.
The crowds act fairly realistically. If you pick up a pistol and fire a shot into the crowd, all hell breaks loose. You'll hear tons of screams, and some people will duck and cover, while others run for their lives. While the game sports a cartoonish look, there's no overlooking the game's hard-core, violent edge. As you can simply run anywhere in the world without bothering to take on any missions, you can run around with a shotgun, bazooka, pistol, or machine gun, simply mowing down citizens. The game is also packed with riot cops, who will attempt to beat you with their billy clubs if you start acting up. Aside from using weapons, you can also punch and kick. The game has a limited combo system for your attacks, allowing you to unleash four-hit combos on people. You can also attack people when they're on the ground. Pumping round after round of shotgun ammo into a dead body is way too fun. Occasionally limbs will pop off, and you can pick them up and use them as weapons. Storefronts can also be smashed up. You can shoot up buildings or pick up things like benches or newspaper stands and toss them through the front window. Though it wasn't in this build, buildings will eventually catch on fire if you wreck them enough.it is meant to come out in october and the video preview is in PSW magazine

GT3 will be forgotten about by the time all the good games come out like sd3 mgs2 rf2
Im sceptical about this game also. The idea is original but then again that' what the PC magazines said about "Kingpin" whencit was released and that faded into obscurity. The boast of 100+ people on screen sounds cools but if anyone here has played Red Alert 2 on PC when 2 masive armies clash they'll know what I mean when I say that it doesnt make for a better game as all the characters block each other. Can be quite frustrating ! State Of Emergency could be good but when you see the competiton it is going to be up against like MGS 2 ( december 1st release ) and GT3 ( july 20th ) as well as FFX and Resident Evil Code Veronica, it needs to be pretty special !
i'm quite sceptical of the game...i saw a short video of it running on game network on sky and it looks okay...but if there are too few fighting moves then that could be a real problem...we don't want another bouncer where the combat is boring...
thats if the censors allow it
what a good job censors have playing really violent games i would just let all the games come out and if people complain they should either
1.not buy the game just ignore it
2.dont let under 18s buy the game
3.if a parent of the under 18 buys the game for them they cant complain at how violent it is

I've seen the game on PSW. It looks very fun indeed, could be a pretty good game when its released.
