"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.

Tonic Trouble
Tonic TroubleTonic Trouble is a 3D platforming video game by Ubisoft Montreal. The story follows the main character, Ed, after a magic potion spills on the Earth and causes vegetables to become living killers. The game was received poorly; critics cite poor controls, a wordy exposition, and sloppy graphics (on the N64 version). The N64 version of the game is a port of the PC version with noticeable differences, such as a substantially different opening due to the lack of processing power needed to render cutscenes, and different music in certain places. The game is often compared to another game published by Ubisoft called Rayman 2: The Great Escape, because both are 3D platformers, both have main characters of a similar design (hands and feet without arms or legs), and both were released around the same time.
