The best game ever!!!

I love the Resident Evil game series. Where else will you find a world so close to George Romero's classics?

Anyway, the game is awesome. It is one of the best games to come out for Playstation (any system, i.e. Playstation, Playstation X, PSOne, PS2). The graphics are truely amazing; definately the best and most dark (mood, tone, etc...)in game-play graphics I've seen so far. I was told that the graphics are comparible to that of the GCN's Resident Evil line, and I believe it to be true. The gameplay has some new freatures, I won't go into it, one, for a more complete gaming experince for you (should you decide yourself worthy of and wanting to play), and two, I don't know all of the new features either. But, one of the newest features that I've seen and believe to be the best is that even if you don't have a weapon, that's okay! You can just kick, or tackle your opponent to "death"! The physical attacks aren't that strong, but they can help you when you just used up all the availible ammunition you had and your health is pretty low. Another new feature is that the entire game is in real time. This means that even though your cruzing the menus, a zombie can come up and bitecha (in which case the menus disappear), thus the menus are translusent(spelling?).

The cutscenes, backrounds, characters, enemies are all very detailed. It's definately come a long way since the old pixilated world that was Resident Evil (not to say that the game was bad (in exception of the audio and some of the character motions while talking), in fact, I still play it). One of the coolest things is the two minute intro that makes it feel like a movie!(the way the movie should have been done. WHY DID YOU TURN MR. ROMERO DOWN!!!) I would like now for us to join hands in celebration of this supurb addition to the astounding Resident Evil line. I will also pay homage to Mr. George A. Romero, the king of Zombies.

Heard of the new Resident Evil for the PS2 and got all excited, then I played it. Graphics are good but not the greatest in the series. There is no storyline what so ever, no explination or backstory on any charater, but the killer of this game is the horrible loading times. It felt like i spent more time in loading screens than in actually game play. Do your self a favor and rent it first, like I thankfully did and will pass up buying this game, and wait for the, what i hope to be far better Resident Evil 4.

First Thing To Do is locate the "Equip" button!

First time playing this game I was surprised at how well the game looks. Great graphics and solid story line between Resident Evil 1 through 3 games! Excellent sound and music backgrounds. I love that you can choose more characters to use. Now for the negatives: Finding the equip button was the most challenging thing ever when first starting the game. For about 30 minutes after pickin up the gun, I could not figure out how to equip the gun and use it! So I look at my trusty manual thats included with the game and it indicates to press the X button to equip the weapons, and hello?, the X button is not doing anything! Then I started pressing every button on the controller to find the darn thing, and after dying like three times in the opening scene I finally found the equip button! the equip button is not the X button, the equip button is the "START" button, and no these controls are nothing similar to the last Resident Evil games. Actually manuevering the characters in this game is more challenging compared to the Nemesis controls and Resident Evil 4.

Thats the only Beef I would say about this game, other then that once you get all the controls figured out, its a great game!

I highly recommend getting the network adaptor for this game, the cooperative play on this game is awesome and helps alot to find those extras and to kill as much Zombies as possible, especially when dealing with the Big monsters in the game!

Thanks for reading!

An online Resident Evil game? Sounds great! However, slow load times, and a lack of keyboard or voice support really bring it down. While this had the chance to be a stellar game, it's basically just something for the more hardcore Resident Evil fans rather than just someone with a passing interest in the series. Granted, the load times can be improved if you have the game installed on your PS2 HDD, but not many people have them seeing as only three games out of all the PS2 games ever released in America use them and the new redesigned PS2 doesn't even have a slot for the HDD to fit in. So, if you're a Resident Evil fan, and have the network adaptor for your PS2, you should check the game out. (and if that's you, you probably already have the game anyway) If not, you could probably pass this one up. NnyCW for CapCity.

irritating!

this game has very good graphics and ok controls, but overall a very tedious game. you can carry only very limited amount of items. the saving system is very weird (nutjobs must have thought of this saving system). you also need to complete the level (or scenario) within the time limit. if you die, you have to start from the very beginning. not fun at all! by the way, this is NOT a scary game, just annoying!

THE BEST R.P.G. GAME EVER...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

THIS GAME IS ON TOP OF MY LIST, IT MEETS ALL MY EXPECTATIONS IN A GAME THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR (SO FAR) IT'S AMAZING THE WAY THEY CREATED THE GAME, THE GRAPHICS, THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS...BEST OF ALL...IT'S ENTERTAINING AND BREATHTAKING. IT'S REALLY AMAZING, I WOULD GIVE CREDIT TO THE COMPANY THAT MADE THIS GAME POSSIBLE, A REALITY FOR EVERY SURVIVAL HORROR FANATIC LIKE ME (I OWN EVERY RESIDENT EVIL, SILENT HILL GAMES... I LOVED THIS GAMES). THIS RESIDENT EVIL GAME IS THE BEST EVER... I WOULD SAY, THE BEST R.P.G. GAME (THUS FAR). I AM VERY PICKY WITH GAMES AND I NEVER HAD SECOND THOUGHTS WITH GAMES LIKE THESE...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...I RATE IT MORE THAN 5 STARS... 10 STARS IN THE MAKING... A VIDEO GAME COLLECTION TO BE CHERISHED AND PASSED ON FOR GENERATION...IT'S THE BEST!!!

Definitive

Ok, so all these people are giving "Resident evil: Outbreak" fighting words because there is no voice chat? I think they took a chance with doing this to the story line, so they had to see what type of water they were treading in. I am a big fan of the series, and I feel this one, although Jill Valentine, my favorite character, wasn't in it, is probably the best. It adds the realism of "what if" when you actually have to rely on the next man to give you ammo and to heal you. It's was risky for Capcom to try this, but I feel the finished package is nothing short of masterfull. It will definetly make you jump, and it is fun to interact with other people. Can't we all just get along and kill things?

It's got its PROs and CONs...

Anyone who's read enough of my Resident Evil reviews knows how muck I love the games and movie(s). But Outbreak was a little different for me. It did have a nice RE feel to it, but it's not the same.
PROs-
It's got the killer zombies
Still kinda creepy...
creepy enough to run out of a dark hall rather than walk wondering if there's something behind me or not
The zombies actually break down the doors, but it sucks for you if your health is in danger

CONs-
You're in a team, and they get in your way.
They don't nessecarilly do the killing
You can barely find any herbs
The diolague is too much hassle to read!
You can't go anywhere until you kill ALL of the zombies
You run outta ammo quick

Anyway, I still love it, but I'd rather play RE 1-3 instead

Resident Evil does it again.

This is an excellent third person shooter. It's graphics leave you wondering "are you sure they made this on a computer". This is by far the best video game ever made. This game shows that you can always trust Capcom to make excellent games. You're video game collection is not complete without this game.

Awesome game overall!!!

The game resident evil outbreak has farly surpassed all the other games in its series. However it does have some thing wrong here i will list all the benefits and all the wrongs!

Pros
*Alot of zombiee action and shooting
*Keeping others supplied and alive is pretty realistic (Even though i do not enjoy it)
*New zombie moans and groans keeping the zombies cooler
*Arsenal of weapons
*New music for better gameplay

Cons
*Keeping others alive i think is very difficult and annoying but like i said realistic
*Ammo is harder to find realistic but frustrating
*You die quiker
*your partners die quicker than you
*less puzzles
*And last but not least harder controls than the other games in the series!!

Overall capcom really did the best out of the series than other game series!!!

Great game capcom
