"This is an OUTSTANDING achievement for State of Emergency and Take 2 Interactive, with Grand Theft Auto 3 and Max Payne teaming up alongside such a highly anticipated title. We are very proud to be the FIRST publisher to achieve this overwhelming result" enthused Serhad Koro - Sales and Marketing Director.

The arrival of State of Emergency, straight in at NUMBER ONE, proves it to be the ULTIMATE beat em up on the Playstation 2. Boasting more than two hundred characters on the screen at any one time, it is a totally original adult game, providing gamers with a unique and thrilling gaming experience.

Take 2 are looking forward to more success in the very near future, with strong franchises including MAX PAYNE (X Box), GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 (PC), MAFIA (PC) and DUKE NUKEM ADVANCE (GBA). With well-focused plans and creative titles, this is just the beginning for Take 2, in what has already started with an unprecedented performance.
