This game is defiently worthy of 5 stars. The game has a great story line which incorporates Resident Evil 1-3. The gameplay is awesome because of the 8 players you can choose from, (each with their own ability). It is also fun to play online, there asre 2 online options quick start or choose ur own team and level. I reccomend this game to anyone who is a fan of the original resident evil games (1-3, code veronica, ect.)
Great!

I love Resident Evil so much. The series is probably my second favorite with the Legend of Zelda series first. I just adore the series, but this game feels thrown together. I don't care for the way the gameplay runs. The plots are odd and don't fit together. The concept was really good and I had a lot of fun playing scenario 1 the first few times. The problem was to get all the items I had to play it about a million times and then it was boring. The other scenarios just aren't very good. The puzzles are odd and don't always make sense. And the characters aren't that memorable even if they have hilarious phrases occasionally. It's definitely worth playing all the way through once, but after that, you might want to sell it off or put it in a drawer for a year and come back later. It's just not that fun when it feels like work to try and play a game to get everything or simply more than half the items.
It's good, but not as good as the other RE games.

This game is really fun once you get the hang of it and get used to all the bugs and glitches in the game. In certain parts its really sweet and really scary, but in others its difficult and annoying to figure it out.
Positives:)
- great weapons to kill zombies with (nail guns, shotguns, toilet brushes etc.)
- you get a bunch of computer partners (so they can get killed while you safely take cover)
- Every character has a useful talent to help make the game easier to beat
Negatives:(
- REALLY bad voice overs (your character will say a phrase but a completely different phrase will appear on the screen)
- Your infected percent goes up even when you haven't been bit by a zombie
- You can't pause the game. So say you had to like go and take a piss while you were playing, you'd most likely be dead by the time you came back from the bathroom
Overall though, it's a pretty sweet game. I definetly recommend buying it, but ONLY if it's not over $20.00

I've been slowly getting a fan of the resident evil series. So I found this game a great to play but the only thing I would have liked in it is have a link in the boards. Other than that I love the a game and give a great score. The graphics in the game are very good. But now that I think about it the loading times could have been better. True with a hard drive it speeds this process up but not all of us want hard drive for PS2. Each character has strength and weakness and you get to pick your own character.
It was pretty good with some bugs

I am not a diehard RE fan, but i think this is a pretty good game. The graphics and background are excellent and nobody can
deny that. The A.I. is pretty basic, but they can do some good and they can do some bad. The levels are fun you start out in "j's" bar, an underground laboratory, Racoon City Hospital, a burning hotel, and Racoon City University. The levels are not that short as most reviews say. The longest level is Decisions, Decisions. The guns are pretty good but it would have made it a lot more fun if you can shoot off and arm or head. They also added some realism to hte game like when u play online there is no voice command which i think is a lot more scarier. Think about it if you are seperated from the others one is on the other side of the level how would you be able to start talking to each other, that makes no sense. Another good thing about the realism is when u want to reload or get an item the zombies can still go after you and people were complaining about that but that makes the game more challenging. One of the worst thing about this game was the loading time (impacient people). WEll if you are that impacient buy the HDD it will make the loading times more faster. I also like the fact that they are civilians fighting for their lives instead of pro zombie killers. There are 8 characters with average jobs like a police officer, plumber, waitress, etc. The controlls are not that bad but when u play it you will get used to them. The thing that makes this game more challenging is that you have to slove puzzles, find passwords, and find keycards. All in all i recommend this game to patient and rich people and i think it is a great game.
This Game Is Awesome

I really enjoy this game, the multiple scenarios, the replay value, and the challenges are what make this game so good. The control scheme has been slightly modified but it's improved, each character has his/her own unique moves and abilities. Every survival horros fan should play this game.

If you like plot twists, turns, and complete confusion... get ready for the time of your life. Resident Evil Outbreak File 1 offers events spanning from Resident Evil all the way to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis! Prepare for backtracking, battling the undead and various t-virus monsters, and a very time consuming game. All the fun of a zombie movie with the added excitement of making your own decisions.
If you do not have an IQ of 10,000,000,000,000 I reccomend using a level walkthrough to help you get through the game. There are lots of secret passages, pattens, codes, and backtracking to keep you busy for a whole weekend.
Online is great if you have Broadband or Cable.
-> Level walkthroughs can be found on GameFaqs.com and anywhere else on the internet.
Not like previous RE games

I was expecting the same format as previous resident evil games, but I guess since you have to design it for multiple players they had to get rid of the different landscapes. Unless you have online capabilities and friends who have the game this game is fun. If you are the only one playing the game it tends to be a bit boring.

I bought this game after reading the comments of the other versions of Resident Evil, the first level in the bar and in the buildings it's easy, but when you arrive to the "Below Zero" level, it's difficult to find out what to do. The movement of the characters is slow, clumsy, the A.I. it's a joke, bad comments and the loading process from room to room takes a lot of time. Good graphics for a bad game. Why?
