This game is so fun! It's a break-off of the main series (that is now on Gamecube.) But that doesn't mean it's still an awesome game!! It's far from being boring at all. Especially while you are playing online with one of your friends. It's a new take on the game. You can now do so much more than before.. like hiding in lockers, under beds. There are also so many more new weapons, like staple guns, poles and of course an all new menu! Zombies can now break through doors, so you have to board up doors to keep them behind for longer while you try get ahead of them, capcom did great with this game. I highly recommend if you are a resident evil fan to buy this amazing game!

Let the nightmares begin!!

Although I'm not very far in this game, I cannot stop playing! Time has no meaning when you have a great game like Resident Evil: Outbreak! I've slept a few hours in the past 3 days....The whole Resident Evil series is great, and this is NO exception! I have to say, I was a bit leary after "Veronica", but this game will not dissapoint lovers of the "classic" R.E.(like myself). The graphics are top-notch, game play is smooth, and scary as it gets! BUY THIS GAME, turn out all the lights, turn up your speakers(Amazing in surround sound!), and let the nightmares begin!

I have played all the Re games cept the shooters they never cought my eye. Anyways this game takes all the other games to a whole new level of game play. First off there are not that much slots to put your stuff in. So you have to keep switching stuff to get puzzles done. It makes it alot harder. There is not that much ammo in this one commpared to the others so that also makes it harder. One thing thats great you have the other people to help you out, but they can get really annoying at times. Levels are hard and even on easy. I think this game is more for the hardcore Re fans out there that whant the survival to be well survival. Cause back in the days the Re series was never this hard. Well enjoy the game

This is the newest installment of the Resident Evil Series.... And it is the single greatest game I have played besides Nemesis. The choice of characters is enormous, and the gameplay is fantastic. I love the character's new special abilities, such as Kevin's kick and David's multiple knife slash. The choice of weaponry is fantastic, and the scenarios are well thought out. The new gameplay is based upon team work and your survival relies upon your actions. This is a great game for any teenager that is interested in horror movies.... This is the greatest thing I have ever played.

Resident Evil has always focused on the solitary experience, often times putting you, the lone survivor of a biohazard apocalyptic catastrophe, against an army of monsters and time-consuming, awkward puzzles. Outbreak opens up the playing field with an online component that makes you and three others to rely on each other to survive. It's an interesting concept that for the most part works. In Outbreak, you play as one of eight unfortunate, specialty specific characters in Raccoon City at the time of the virus outbreak. To survive, you must pass through five different scenarios, but the pressure's on-during each scenario, your character is exposed to contagion, and if you don't finish in time, you'll turn into one of the (briefly controllable) living dead. Resident vets will be likely recognize some of the locales and creatures, as the events take place between RE2 and 3 with Raccoon City slowly overrun by monsters. Each scenario has multiple objectives, hidden files, and diverse activities that are impossible to complete entirely in one play through-an excellent hook that creates high replay value. Points are given at the end of each stage that can then be used to purchase character renders, music tracks, more characters, and other rewards. The atmospheric visuals create an uneasy feeling of doom and destruction as smashed cars, trashed buildings, fire, and smoke that become more vivid with each completed scenario.
Outbreak's defining property is multiplayer cooperation. Up to four wannabe survivors can play simultaneously via online, and the game's structure is such that you must work together in order to reach the finish line. With a limited inventory capacity (and no item boxes), you can swap items with others, give a shoulder to lean on, hold doors shut, and even fight zombies hand-to-hand. Outbreak provides a plethora of ordinary items that can be used for defense, such as iron bars, rocks, lab acid, and brushes. Puzzles also stand in your way, many of which are lifted directly from the Resident trash bin-pushing crates, collecting items and inserting them elsewhere, and pressing switches-activities any series vet will instantly recognize. Yet a key aspect of teamwork, communication, is severely hampered by lack of voice chat as players are limited to a series of pre-determined phrases ("I have a thought," for instance) and other vocal cues that, in most situations, could mean anything. All scenarios are available in offline mode-just be prepared for a robust challenge and barely adequate NPC A.I. Lengthy load times also hinder the flow of the action (a problem that will hopefully be resolved with the PS2 HDD that was unavailable at press time for this review). Yet, despite its shortcomings, Outbreak's hefty replay, intense action, and clever scenario designs make for an engaging play-on- and offline, and a must for any Resident fan. Here, success ultimately depends on how helpful everyone's willing to be.

Much to be desired...

I was completely pumped for the release of this game since last year...but it came short on many aspects. First off the most obvious is the lack of keyboard or voice communication which ruins the game a bit but does not mean you should not buy this game. Secondly, the load times are very annoying, 15-20 seconds unless you have the almost useless and overpriced HDD. The online seems to be slopped together and although good leaves much to be desired. With these downers there are many ups to this game, it has solid controls (For seasoned RE players that is) and the graphics are superb, in my opnion the best I have seen on the PS2. For anyone who loves the RE games and wants to experience a new view of the storyline and some fun online play should definately pick it up, but for those not familiar with the series should probably not purchase it for it will not turn you onto the series, expecially if you were never a real fan of the series in the first place.

Hardcore RE Fans = MUST BUY!!

Best RE Online yet

RE:Outbreak is one of Capcom's best yet. The online play is great especially cooperating with others. The AI is pretty good (with the zombies sensing your presence). The variety of weapons adds to the gameplay. The list of characters are well balanced. I'd say buy it rather than rent it. If you're hardcore RE, buy it.

This is a great online game..yes,yes it does come with single player, but that lacks in quality - poor AI. However the online or network play is one of the best. Many say the lack of communication hinders the proformance of the game...but that is not true, the people that post that are the ones who do not want challenges or a little scare. Overall the online mode is great...almost impossible to become bored of!
