Description

Spanky and his gang of revolutionaries are back, and this time they’re bigger and badder! In the successor to the 1.5 Million unit State of Emergency™, the original riot game, VIS Entertainment has once again redefined the Action/Combat Genre with State of Emergency 2. A new, high-performance graphics engine puts you in the middle of hundreds of chaotic rioters, AND, this time, you control the riot! A deeper and more engaging Story Mode allows you to switch between the principal characters and take advantage of each character’s unique abilities, such as MacNeil’s sharp-shooting or Spanky’s gang control.

Features

Single player action - Single player mode featuring 12 innovative missions with a vast array of features and a full cinematic story experience.

Large number of simultaneous on-screen characters - From the prisoners of the early missions to the unruly inhabitants of the Ghetto and the downtrodden populace of the Workers’ Zone, crowds can be rallied to the cause or frozen in fear depending upon how they are treated by the player.

Swarms of enemies - The game features nine different types of intelligent enemies that choose when to defend and when to attack, and are capable of hunting down the gameplayers if they choose to hide.

Gang control - Lead character, Spanky, can control Capitol City various gangs to assist him in overcoming great odds while battling against waves of Enforcers.

Multiple vehicles - Helicopters, Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers and Speedboats are all playable and all hugely destructive -- even the speedboat has a mortar fixed to the front.

Character switching - Choose the right man for the job. Switching players can also be used as a tactic when low on health and can prove vital to survival and progression through the levels.

Interrogation - This mini game has Spanky eliciting information the only way he knows how. Informers who are hit too lightly will deliver a barrage of indignant abuse and those who are hit too hard may be sent to the Great Beyond!

Arcade challenges - Earn gold, silver and bronze medals as well as rank on the high score table on 15 frantic arcade challenges, each with gold, silver and bronze medals and their own high score table which range from rocket, tank, and sniper contests to the incredibly fast-paced and hilarious Kaos modes.

Multiplayer modes for 1-4 players - Five multiplayer modes include deathmatch and flag attack as well as more conventional modes such as Last Man Standing and Battle mode.
