Worst RE game EVER!

I had such high hopes for this game, but nobody else should have to feel this pain. For starters, this game has really bad sound. The Ad-Libing feature is extremely annoying and is practically useless in online mode unless you want to annoy the crap out of your friends and yourself. If you play single player mode, you are tortued with it by the Com players. It is said that Ad-Libbing will help you in a place that you're stuck, but it doesn't. It will, however, do it in an easy puzzle for instance, in J's Bar it will tell you "maybe we need to use this key for the forklift." Well duh! it is called the 'Forklift' key. Then if you're in front of the locked door it will say something like 'This door is locked, we need to find a way to open it.' You really don't need to hear the voices in this game they are very bad, almost as bad as the original PS game.
The storyline sucks to say the least. Get out of the city with 7 other people you just met. There's quite a cast of characters too, we've got everything from a plumber to a reporter. Sure, I know some people say, 'Well how the heck do those people get into the labs from RE2' or 'Why are they in the Hospital?' Well think about it, if you look closely at the beginning of the Below Freezing Point level, you'll notice you begin in the tunnel where the train leaves at the end of RE2. That lead to a place near the outskirts of town where Sherry, Leon, and Claire all started leaving. They probably go there because they think there are survivors there but end up being totally wrong. As for the hospital, its a place you would feel safe for a while, a shelter if you will.
Anyway, now that I cleared that up, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU REALLY ARE DESPERATE FOR A GAME! You may enjoy it for a while but the bugs and glitches will get to you. After beating each level once, you don't really want to go back because you have to do it all over again with another idiotic character.
Graphics in this game are below those of the GC's remake but it is understandable due to the fact that the game is online and it has a bunch of stupid comments that we don't need. The loading times are also bogus in this game too but can be avoided if you have an HDD.
Not for a Resident Evil Series fan

This game is weird and is nothing like Resident Evil 0,1,2,3. I hated two of the games Capcom made in the series, one of them was Resident Evil Survivor, the other is Dead Aim. This game is better than them but its just weird and time consuming and not scary, just frustrating. I am glad i rented it and didnt buy it. If you like Dead Aim it might be good for you and online gaming is fun but i am looking forward to Resident Evil 4 on gamecube. This game gave me headaches, but it has a different taste, its unique gameplay with great graphics but not for me. Online players might like it.

I think that RE Outbreak will be the BEST RE made so far, although you do have to pay to play online. I think if Capcom was to make RE Outbreak free of charge in the online play mode, it would be rated higher, and more RE fans would purchase it! I still think it will be great. Thanks capcom for another great game!!!!!
Outbreak is the best

This could easily be the best entry in the long running and entertaing resident evil series. It takes the series in a new direction with ordinary people as charcters, and online play. Looking forward to it.
This does not require an online fee!!

Someone mentioned this game wasn't worth the price because of an online fee. Well, if they actually purchased and played the game they would know that there is no online fee. The only requirements is a PS2 Network adapter and a Broadband connection.
I bought this game a couple days ago and I've been playing online since I purchased it. It really is a good online experience but if you will not be able to play it online I would say it is only a rental.
WARNING-READ BEFORE BUYING

This is possibly the worst game I've ever played bsides State of Emergency. Don't listen to the good reviews. This game is horrible and totally betrays the RE games. I wouldn't even recommend buying it, it's horrible. I've only gotten it to the second scenario and i'm already thinking of returning it. If you've never played an RE game but want to go and buy the first and second one and the third. This game is totally dissapointing. I do not recommend it save your money for Silent Hill 4.
The Best so far

This game is the best of the whole series. It is tied, at least I think, as the best game ever with Twisted Metal: Black and Conker's Bad Fur Day. The graphics are amazing! It's not the bloodiest of the series, but hey, it's still great. The zombies just keep on coming and it's great. I don't have a broadband connection nor could I afford one if my town approved of it first, but I still like offline mode. When I first heard it would only be online, I was so angry at Capcom, but thankfully they changed it so it wouldn't alienate some of their biggest customers. One thing I wish we could do was hook up 2-4 PS2's to 2-4 TV's and play without a network connection, but we can't, that I know of. It would be the bomb, but the newest model of the PS2 don't have that connectability. Oh well, it's still a great experience. I have trouble figuring out a lot of the puzzles and usually jump a lot. It takes a lot to get me scared and this does it. I like being able to equip my teammates with stuff, but killing them would be fun too. (Hint, hint) I usually give them the big guns and keep the pistol and melee weapons for myself, except against a boss. I give the others a pipe or crutch and stand there with a shotgun. It has awesome replayability because you need to do things, even die, to get some of the unlockables. I haven't gotten much, and I bought it when it came out. There are a lot of instant deaths, like the first time I played in the first scenario, my friend laughed at me 'cause the zombie hanging in the window by the stairs pulled me right out. I got swallowed whole by some frog looking thing. I heard that you have to blow up to get closer to 100%. The game is great, and I haven't even beaten on Easy mode with my first character. Either I suck, or I have too much fun. I think I just suck. You can never have too much fun with a game like this. Buy it and enjoy. Peace.
