State of Emergency 2

by: Quibian Salazar-Moreno

The story starts off with you about to be executed for your crimes in the previous game. Somehow some way, you get a break and some guns from your people and you’re on your way out prison as all hell breaks loose. How the story ends is up to you… left Audio/Visual: The visuals are pretty similar to the previous game: blocky characters, real bright colors and a pretty dull environment. The animations are cartoony but it works for what you’re doing most of the game which is running around among a bunch of characters and blasting cats who are trying to stop you. The voice acting was done pretty well and music is pretty much forgettable. The sound effects of the guns, explosions and other environmental sounds are cool. Controls: At first, the controls feel a bit out of control with one analog stick controlling your aim and the other stick controlling your movements. But once you realize that perfect aim isn’t required and that you can just spray a crowd of guards or thugs, the game becomes that much easier. Hotness: The story keeps you going to find out what’s going to happen next. Plus, the easy controls and aiming make plowing through a level a lot easier and fun. Wackness: The graphics need some help. It’s not a pretty situation. But still, it’s not a bad game but it’s not a must have title either, just a real straight ahead game.
