i am very disappointed so far...

by the terrible new controls of the game. why change up the controls from a hugely successful franchise? stupid. the camera angles are the worst i've seen in a resident evil game; who knows where the enemies are?!?
i must state that i am a huge RE fan, but i could not be any less interested in playing online games (especially with the ps2). i think the single-player campaign in this game was glossed over in a rush because capcom was focused on putting out a RE online game. what a mistake.
RE4 looks like it will be cool for the Cube, but who knows? hopefully Outbreak doesn't sell well and capcom goes back to the basics which everyone has loved for over a decade now.

quit screwing up RE, capcom!!! the graphics should be better with each release, but don't monkey around with the controls. a successful franchise is successful for a reason, and doesn't need to be overhauled each time a new game comes out.

How Disappointing!

You know, I had anticipated more, at least the kind of "more" survival horror fans yearn for. What a disappointment to play the most recent version of a series I've really loved playing: I found myself turning the thing off, pulling the disk, and returning it to the rental place the following day!

Make no mistake. I LOVE Resident Evil 2, RE Code Veronica X, all the Silent Hills, Parasite Eves, Fatal Frames, and The Suffering but I REALLY DISLIKE THIS GAME.

Gameplay is very stilted, claustrophobic, and predictable. I guess maybe an RE fan with a jones to play in the dark with others with their PS II's in the dark could dig this game. The single player experience is certainly one of the lamest I've had in years (since perhaps my experience with Galerians: Ash!).

I guess the key to this game is enjoying the nostalgia of playing an RE game on the PS II ... and if the nostalgia can't raise you above the cruel realitites of this lame game, you're out of luck.

Phew, anyway, don't buy this sucker -- rent it if you're curious... and save your dollars for SH 4.

Man, what a disappointment...

Online or off line still disapointing

I waited until the day this game came out to buy it.I was hoping for this game to be really fun like RE1,2,3 and code veronica but when I put it in I was Uterly disapointed,the game play was very bad with very bad controls,The other Resident Evil games had better controls.The other thing is that this game had no story line, you just start off in a bar and run from zombies.Do not get this game just wait for RE4.

crap, crap, and still more crap.

Well my title says it all. The cut aways are too long and extremely boring. The controls are harder than Chinese algebra. All-in-all stay away from this one.

worst RE game ever

The title says it all! I am a HUGE RE fan, and own every game. I have played every RE game for hour after gory hour, over and over for the sheer fun of it...except this game. It has no interesting characters from the RE storyline. The characters are boring, as are the slow-moving encounters. The necessary trading of items with NPC's adds nothing to the game, and in fact makes the game even slower and more tedious. Difficult is great...tedious is not. I never even cared to finish a single round, which says something b/c it was very easy by RE standards (at least, as far as I played into it). INCREDIBLY disappointing. A real departure from the series!

Rent before you buy

This game has impressive graphics, but it's unbelievable how many hold times there are!!! Every single time you change a room, there is a hold time. I felt like I was waiting half the time and playing the game the other half. I actually want to play more of this game, but I don't want to deal with waiting every minute or so when I have to go into another room. Get rid of the countless hold times and this game is great. They should have put more time/effort into this game.

Avoid if you do ot have on-line capabilities

While I have played this game one on one, I have not played the game on-line. This may explain the difference between my one star rating and the multitude of five star ratings for this product.

As a one person game, Resident Evil Outbreak does not live up to its predecessors. Gone is any semblance of a plot. This is unfortunate since most of the charm of the prior incarnations of this game came from the storyline.

Gone also are intuitive controls. Here you have to load each bullet into your gun. Haven't any of these people ever heard of clips. And most frustrating is the snail pace with which the characters accomplish every task. Unless you are running which is immpossible to maintain if you are trying to accomplish anything else, you move at the rate of 1 mile an hour.

At some point I feel that a franchise such as the Resident Evil franchise simply puts out products because they know people will buy them based on name recognition. I believe this is the case here. Resident Evil: Code Name Veronica was the last decent game made along this line (I do not own a Nintendo system). Save your money for a game worthy of the $50 price tag. This game is a rental at best.

This game sucks

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.
