Last Monday 7:15 AM,
Watches brother open birthday present, realises it is State of Emergency. Brother Looks at game and hands it to me, i look at back and wonder aimlessly about what the game is going to be like. Unwraps the plastic wrapping of the case and stares at the cover. Then reads instruction manual for about 30 seconds before trecking up stairs to play on new game.
7:30 AM
Begins to realise smashing people over the head repeatedly with a T.V is making day worthwhile before realising he is being greeted by a police mans truncheon. Starts to do a few missions and after about the sixth mission decides missions are getting repetitive and too easy. Hands control too brother and watches as his brother smashes a T.V over a mans withering body.
7:45 AM
Declares game best game bought (For now), and plays some more. Starts smashing windows with stools until he falls to the corporation’s power. Realises he has only done 50% of that level and can't be bothered doing any more. Realises the game is nothing like GTA3, and plays some more until breakfast, doesn't play anymore for some hours.
Well that’s life
I overall think that this game could be given more depth and freedom. The levels are big, but unlike GTA3 it is impossible to find a weapon without having to do missions. The graphics are good but are rather cartoony which adds a certain depth of unrealism. Unfortunately for some they will find this game maybe offensive and disturbing, but like no game before can you hit people over the head with anything you see lying around without this powerful impact on peoples opinions. People are criticising this game for not living up to GTA standards, but its not even 'GTA', but yeah you can compare...
Playability,
Graphics,
Sound,
Interactivity and maybe violence will come into it all.
But instead of thinking about the bad points of this game think of the good points like:
Violence, there is more gore and violence in this than GTA3.
Weapons, Larger selection of weapons
Difference, There is about 60 people on screen at any one time.
State of Emergency is 'different' to other games made by rockstar, but there level of violence is at its highest.

It's a really good engine trapped in the body of a limited game. Where's the multiplayer is what I want to know..
You know, I havnt actually played this game since they day I bought it. It is actually that damn bad.
It was a quick game just put together to sell under the rockstar name which became so popular becasue of GTA3. I suppose they made a quick profit out of this...good for them.
