State of Emergency 2 , the sequel to the first game , paints a bleak vision of a future in which individual freedoms have been eliminated by the brutal regime known only as the "Corporation". In this future, a small group of citizens have dedicated themselves to overthrowing the Corporation, forming a resistance group called "Freedom".
The player takes control of each member of Freedom's team, including leader Spanky MacNeil , and must use their unique abilities to take on the Corporation forces. The game is played from a third-person perspective, allowing the player to choose from a variety of weapons, such as rifles, grenades, and the powerful rocket launcher.
Players can also use vehicles found throughout the game to cause major destruction to the Corporation's forces. In addition to the single-player campaign, there are various challenge modes that allow players to unlock hidden characters and extras. The game also features split-screen multiplayer modes, including Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Last Man Standing, for up to four players.
