This Game is Great

As a Resident Evil fan I felt I was supposed to buy this game to see how it was. I thought it was great and even though the loading times are kind of slow and the partners that help you out are complete idiots I think you should buy this game.
Even though the game has flaws it has great graphics, the gameplay is more realistic (you get to make homemade weapons, you can kick or push the enemies, and the status screen is in realtime),and I think it is the Resident Evil game that has the best replay value because you can choose 1 of 8 characters with all different special abilities and there is a lot of secret extras you can get in any one of the 5 senarios. I haven't played the online mode which is way funner than 1 player mode (well, at least that is what I heard) an 1 player mode is really fun. I think that you should rent this game first before buying it just in case. I give this game a 4.25 rating but since you can only choose 1,2,3,4, and 5 star ratings my star says 4. Well, who cares the point is that I really like this game and you should get it.

good? of course it is!

Resident evil is one of my favorite series. the old games are great, but after a while you want a change. This is what you've been waiting for. Resident Evil online! Resident evil Outbreak is a great game with tons of replay value, if you play it online you have a chance to play with your friends or make new friends. most of the people are friendly and will help you out to make the game more enjoyable for you. Capcom made a great decision on bringing the series online. the whole idea of you killing zombies (or turning into one) with others without having to share a screen is awesome. I hope for many new blockbuster hits from capcom but this is one that leaves the biggest impression on me. This game being so great forces me to give it a 5 out of 5

This is the BEST RE game ever! You can play on-line, and offline with 2 other BOTS! and the bots r smart. the has amazing graphics and the talking is better( when people in the game talk) its good if you want a challenge. but its a little glitchy, you can walk through these chair barrels in 1st level, long guns (shotgun) go walls though doors when u exit doors, people can wqalk through you open doors when you are going through( u open, then u hear the same sound while u walk through it, when you walk up a ladder, people can walk through.
It takes a long time to load and play, but I think it WORTH it. 1st RENT it because it got MIXED REVIEWS, but if U o like it, then BUY it.

A good edition to the resident evil series

but not good enough to stand out from the others. First ill start off with some of the goods. There are weapons everywhere so if you run out of ammo for your gun, the steel pipe makes a good substitute. If you run out of item space then your partner can carry some of your items and they wont throw away the key items. The same good old resident evil monsters like hunters, cerberuses and even a new tyrant look even better than ever. Graphics are amazing and sound is too. Now for the cons. The puzzles are still frustrating and a lot of backtracking is needed to progress from one scenario to another. The inventory spaces now are cut down to 4 instead of the usual 6 or 8. This can be really frustrating because you have to think very strongly about what to carry. ive only named a few of the pros and cons but if your not a fan of the resident evil franchise and are looking for one to try out i would recommend resident evil 4 or 3 instead of this. This isnt to say that it isnt good, Im actually planning to buy the second outbreak but 3 or 4 would probably be more enjoyable to soeone who hasnt played resident evil before.

This resident evil is pretty good, but at first you just have to get used to the controls. Otherwise its buy!

Disappointment

After playing a few of the other RE games, I was excited about this one, despite the different programmers. Utter disappointment was my experience. In fact, I haven't even attempted other RE games by the same programmers, which were obviously just generated with the RE name for the money.

I have to say that this Resident Evil was botched. I don't know what they were thinking when they created this, I don't think they were actually. The characters are bland and a bit cheesy. They have no originality and credibility. Why would you want to play as a waitress killing zombies? The loading times are horrible and extremely slow. I mean really, really, slow. Unless you have the hard drive then it speeds up the game by installing the game files on it, but if you are like one of the many people with the slim PS2 then you can't use the hard drive. Thank you Sony!

Amazing Graphics! terrible game!

The graphics of out break were with out doubt quite possibly the best ps2 has ever seen. But you cant change camera angles you cant move quickly all in all the game sucks! it's like watching a bad movie. i loved the resident evil games! but this one seems like they spent way too much time beefing it up and for got that keeping it simple is always best!

Sorry 2 stars.

Easily One Of The Best Resident Evils; Great Horror Game

With a wide cast of playable characters, and taking place concurrent with events through several of the 'main' chapters of the Resident Evil series, 'Resident Evil: Outbreak' takes a diverse bunch of citizens of Raccoon City and has them thrown together by fate to face the horrors of the city's zombie outbreak. In all of the game's scenarios, there are four characters per team, the player handles one character and the computer takes care of the rest (in the 'online' version multiple players can join up). I love a game where there's a team scenario, whether it's multi-player or the computer controls your allies, and it works really great in horror games. Here, considering the computer controls 3 team-mates simultaneously but working together is essential, everything comes together surprisingly smoothly. You can call for your teammates, ask for help, share items, etc., and they do the same where you're concerned. The computer-controlled characters act as if they have ideas on their own, and individual personalities come out well (ex. some characters are more 'team players' where others are more self-oriented; some more bold and agrressive; some lack confidence and hesitate at bad times; etc) You can have your character talk to others by pressing buttons, but each time they, for example, call out for help it's not necesarily phrased the same way, alternating between several possible lines. Occasionally, the dialogue from the computer-controlled characters is not especially relevant to the situation, but that turned out to be a plus in an unexpected way - sometimes the timing of different lines comes out very funny. Each character also has special skills - some have better fighting moves, some excel at constructing makeshift weapons, some are skilled at healing themselves and their partners and one can even avoid zombies by playing dead!

As the game progresses, new challenges instead of just battling the hordes of the undead will crop up, including a good number of weird monsters. Puzzle-solving remains a part of the overall Resident Evil makeup. Going through different stages, there's also the element of discovering new and disturbing secrets, which is an important part of pretty well any horror game.

For the view you get a good camera angle that sees the characters and action from slightly overhead, letting everything be seen in good detail from the texture of the envirornments to the characters to the well imagined monsters. With up to four characters, plus enemies and non-character 'civilians' on the screen at some times the individual characters are usually smaller in scale (to the screen) than in most of the Resident Evil games but it's never confusing or lacking in detail; they did a really good job making sure you got a nice clear picture and can appreciate different aspects of the game. The controls work well and each character has quite a bit of stuff they can do, not just run/shoot/heal-with-herb.

I enjoyed a lot of the aesthetic aspects of the game. The opening credits feature some of the best, most haunting music ever in a video game and they way they combine the swelling uplift of the music at one point with a representation of the T-virus transforming everything gives it a chilling, apocalyptic feel. Darkly beautiful. The graphics on a creature like the leech-monster are really impressive, everything constantly moving and writhing, really well done and distinctive.

The characters: instead of it being pretty much all elite STAR-type commandoes, the focus is split. You do have one in that traditional mode, the police officer Kevin, plus a similar character in Mark, an older security guard who draws on Vietnam combat experience. Mark is probably the physical powerhouse of the group and one of the best characters. Other characters include a waitress (Cindy) from the bar where the zombies first attack, a doctor (George) and a deliveryman (Jimmy), and their personalities are pretty diverse. Yoko, a university student who from the start seems like she might have some hidden backstory to her, is one of the best characters to play, partly for that reason. Cindy, without there being much really overt, is just one of the sexiest characters in a video game, both in the way she's animated and the voice, as well as the fact that she just comes across really nice. Like Mark, she's one of the most helpful characters to have around, and one of the best to play. Yoko seems shy but nice, but there's that undercurrent there that 'is there something else going on that may not be as trustworthy, or not?' and that helps make her even more interesting. On the other hand, David, while possessing one of the best skills in the game (makeshift weapon constuction) comes off as something of a jerk a lot of the time, which kind of adds something on. Not all of the Raccoon City residents who end up banded together are necessarily going to be instantly likable.

This is one of the best of the Resident Evil series, and possibly the scariest; and there aren't a lot of games in the horror genre with this 'co-operative team' setup (quite a few you'll get a pair working together, but not a fairly largely group). Incidentally, you can unlock other characters to play as the game goes along and you achieve certain things, and though they closely follow the patterns of the main characters, it's still a great bonus. A must-have for fans of horror games.

Disappointing, to say the least.

Let me first say that I am a die hard Biohazard/Resident Evil fan from the very first Resident Evil on the Playstation. After the RE series was revitalized on the GameCube with the original Resident Evil remake I've come to realize that any other Resident Evil games appearing on other consoles should probably be avoided as they 1: Aren't officially part of the original S.T.A.R.S. storyline (Chris, Claire, Jill, Leon, Wesker, etc), and 2: they just pretty much suck.

I don't know if it's because they are made by different people or what, but take for instance Resident Evil: Outbreak. The game has some above average visuals and sound, but the gameplay lacks in so many ways, you kind of forget about that. The multi-player aspect of this game is completely ridiculous and really left me so disappointed considering this was the only reason I bought any RE game outside the original storyline. When you run around with other people playing the multiplayer, all the characters you're with just shout random things at you which have nothing to do with what you might be trying to say to them. This goes on constantly and is so irritating it completely takes away the feeling of being imersed in this experience and just reminds you you're playing a sub-par game. Characters will super-impose on top of each other if you're both climbing a ladder or crawling around in ducts. The voice acting is even WORSE than the original Playstation Resident Evil if you can believe that and none of the male voices match up with thier visual counterparts.

Single player is a joke and since multi-player annoyed me so much with it's obvious flaws, I've concluded that I've wasted [my mpney] on a lame game.
