	Stateofemergency
		SOE’s gameplay in and of itself isn’t likely to draw much criticism, the intense realism, mass-killing and the player’s role as a terrorist is likely to upset more than a few players.

		What’s cool about SOE is that even If you don’t have a weapon, you’re not completely defenseless because you can engage in hand-to-hand combat with enemies using kicks and punches, which is cool as well because the characters can also use their special moves.
