Description
It's sometime in the far future, where "The Corporation" controls everything. People are generally happy, except for a resistance group called "Freedom", who do not like The Corporation's dictator rule.
In SoE, you can choose from one of five different characters; Spanky, an ex-gang member; McNeil, a disgruntled ex-cop; Bull, a criminal in prison; Libra, a lawyer; and Phreak, an orphan.
You must complete a variety of missions, ranging from Rescue missions to "Kill This Person" missions to "Blow Up This" missions.
You have many different weapons at your disposal, including shotguns, machine guns, pistols, knives, rocket launchers, tear gas launchers, flame-throwers, gatling guns, pepper spray, molotov cocktails and more. You can even use street furniture, such as boxes, construction cones, benches, signposts, trashcans, and more. Or, you could break the glass of a store, and use the items there as a weapon, such as a DVD player or a television.
You will fight many different enemies. Gang members, skinheads, and The Corporation forces.

Trivia
During the intro movie, a character is attacked by a ATO officer outside of a TV shop. The character is wearing a blue and white horizontally stripped shirt. Originally the shirt was green and white, it therefore had a striking similarity to the football strip of Celtic Football club based in Glasgow, Scotland.
The team that produced the game were based in Dunfermline, Scotland, and I believe that the intro movie was created by Axis Animation (Part of the VIS Group) who are based in Glasgow. Something tells me that there was some Football rivalry going on :)
