State of Emergency:
In order to become a game publisher that stands out from the crowd, a company has to carve its own niche. EA is best known for its sports lineup, Nintendo's software is typically family friendly, and Midway is known for its largely arcade-style roster. Rockstar Games is quickly gaining a reputation for publishing games that manage to be both insanely fun and completely adult in nature. The company's freestyle crime slant has led to games like Smuggler's Run, Midnight Club, and the universally acclaimed Grand Theft Auto III. Now, hot on the heels of GTAIII, Rockstar is back with State of Emergency, an action-packed riot simulator filled with so much over-the-top violence that the game becomes almost hilariously funny.
The publisher has defined State of Emergency as "the world's biggest beat-'em-up," likening the game to a modernized Final Fight that takes advantage of current technology. While this isn't inaccurate, it's worth mentioning that State of Emergency, like just about every game that has tried to bring the Final Fight formula into a 3D world, has its share of problems. For starters, the camera requires constant babysitting, forcing you to frequently hit R1 to swing it around behind your character or use the right stick to swing the point of view around. Even still, the camera gets hung up in tight corridors, and you'll often find yourself walking around corners blindly, only to find a large enemy force on the other side that opens fire before you even have time to reposition the camera to see them. Additionally, the basic gameplay is extremely simple, almost to the point of feeling stripped down. You have a punch and a kick at your disposal, and mashing on the buttons will execute combos. Hitting both buttons together allows you to grab opponents for throws and other holds. But the game is perhaps at its best when your character is armed. There's a wide variety of weapons in State of Emergency, starting out with simple batons and baseball bats. The game also includes a nice selection of firearms, including a pistol, an Uzi, an AK-47, an M16, a shotgun, a minigun, a flamethrower, a grenade launcher, and a rocket launcher. You'll also find some blades, namely a hatchet and a sword. Finally, many objects found around the environment--park benches, for example--can be picked up and thrown. You'll need this large arsenal to keep the corporation security forces and gangs at bay. As you proceed, the enemies become tougher and tougher to beat, as they'll rush you with larger numbers and better armaments.
