"Go go go! Smash the corporation!" What can be said about this game? Well, it's all violence and destruction and it sure is fun to beat people with severed heads and blow up buildings after a rough day at the office. If there's a better domestic terrorist riot simulator, I've never played it. A classic. One of the more underrated Rockstar titles. Libra and Spanky rule!
State of Emergency I remembered having a long time ago. Back when I liked Rockstar games. This was the closest game to Grand Theft Auto series they had at the time. Which predates Bully by a few years. It's sorta arcade style, smaller GTA inspired game. You get a few characters to play as. It heavily plays off Anarchy as a selling point. This is one of their forgotten gems from that era. The game constantly giving you objectives to keep things somewhat interesting.
