Playlogic Entertainment and DC Studios announced the signing of a worldwide publishing agreement for "State of Emergency 2" on PlayStation 2, planned for release in the fourth quarter. SOE2 is the sequel to the number one hit, which sold 1.6 million copies.
State of Emergency 2 takes place 10 years after the original and has Spanky, Bull and MacNeill again up against the Corporation. This time, they not only have access to guns but also - for the first time - helicopters, speedboats, Tanks and APCs and new team members.
State of Emergency 2 is a true sequel that takes the premise of large active crowds a step further, adding a full story-based single-player game to the challenge modes and split-screen multiplayer modes.
The game starts with Freedom discovering that the Corporation has fed the population a mind control drug with their fast food to subdue them. Freedom regroups in order to yet again rid society of the brutal Corporation and to return society to the realm of democracy.
Escape the gas chamber, infiltrate the drug baron's lair, destroy the drug stores and generally cause mayhem to win the day. Many new game-play elements such as a reputation system, gang control, interrogation, driving and flying vehicles add to the fun.
SOE2 prides itself on the vast numbers of enemies on screen at the same time.
State of Emergency 2 will be released in the fourth quarter on PlayStation 2.
