State of Emergency is a controversial 2002 action-adventure video game released by Rockstar Games. It was developed by Scottish firm VIS Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows.
State of Emergency was released to mixed reviews. The game's strengths were considered to be the value for money as a budget title, the simplistic fun offered, the technical achievement of having hundreds of people running around on a modest system, and the satirical sense of humor. Weaknesses cited include gameplay that might be considered too simple, and a poor multiplayer mode on the PC.
Gamezone: 6.8 out of 10[1]
IGN: 6.6 out of 10[2]
Gamer's Hell: 6 out of 10
PC Zone: 62%
GameSpot: 7.2 out of 10[3]
The PlayStation 2 version met with more positive reviews.
IGN: 8.3
GameSpot: 8.5
A sequel, State of Emergency 2 was released in 2006. This game was again developed by VIS Entertainment ltd although after they became insolvent and went into administration the game was completed by DC Studios and was released by SouthPeak Interactive.
The game was denounced by Washington state politicians[citation needed] for its similarity to the real-life 1999 World Trade Organization riots and protests in Seattle which caused $3 million in damages. The game features the fictional "American Trade Organization" as the antagonistic establishment

Why didn't Rockstar ever give this game the upgrade it deserved?

An online multiplayer State of Emergency would have been DOPE.........just imagine that many cats in an open world beating the ? out of each other.
I liked the game, personally, it was probably the perfect example of how a old school, Streets of Rage style beat em up game was supposed to work in 3D. -
It was ok ? got mad boring after about 5 mins tho

Looks like gta's lil sister's (saints row) aborted fetus.

Game was garbage. GTA3 was light years ahead of this game and after that game came out all copies of this ? game shoulda been burnt to a crisp.

i personally thought the Watchmen video game on psn/xbl was a good way to update streets of rage.
