Soo Awesome!

General/Summary: This game in my mind is intended solely for multi-player and particularly on-line play. The arcade and single player missions are not very fun and actually are rather silly. If you play the game you will know what I mean. They basically are training for playing on-line and multi-player. To even call them missions would be exaggerating. The multi-player mode is pretty generic. You either have a time limit where you wipe out as many enemies as possible within that time or in the other mode you are given a total numer of frags and who ever reaches it first wins. Thats it folks. I'm not sure even playing with friends over would be that much fun with only two games to play. On-line is the only way to go but its not much more interesting. All in all I was very disappointed. For those parents out there who are debating letting kids play, the game is rated "T" and there is no blood. Those gamers expecting a Quake 3, Soldier of Fortune or Unreal Tournament in terms of options, weapons and carnage should stay clear.

Gameplay: I would say this game would be nearly impossible to play effectively without a keyboard and mouse. You do have choices of many different controller set-ups but for some unexplained reason they don't show you that set-up as it would be on your controller. Because of this it is totally hit & miss. "D1" I would say is the best and closely emulates similar FPS games. There also seems to be some problem with collision detection. At times you can shoot at point blank range and miss. Shooting at a distance is worse. Its not always horrible but when you need your shot to really count in a tough spot it is frustrating. The arenas are all VERY small. This no doubt piles the presuure on to keep moving and shooting but it seems like you are playing in a hangar as far as size goes. The arenas look great and there are some nice spots for cover and shooting but as I said they are small. There are also only three weapons per character. They are rifle, grenade & a special weapon. Thats it.

Graphics: I can't knock the game in this department. The visuals are outstanding and I think make full use of the DC's power. The arenas are very varied and look good but are small. There is definitely no time to look around and admire them. You need to keep moving to survive.

Sound: Sound is average at best. Sound effects are appropriate, nothing more, and the limited voice work is mediocre. The music is also average.

oh please...

Ok when i first saw this game i thought it would be pretty cool...but it's not (at least in my opinion). To start with the good stuff the graphics r pretty good and the weapons are animated nicely. thats just bout it. The single player missions arent even real missions its like a huge boot-camp. all you have to do is shoot peeps and collect stupid coins. so basically the whole game is intended for multiplayer. but since the multiplayer has only two diffrent scenarios (compare to Perfect dark which has like 15). So even if you play 2 player it gets boring pretty fast. the controls are the weirdest i have ever seen in a game but luckily you can change them to a semi-okay setting. Personally i think that if your not going to go online you shouldn't buy this game. It just doesnt have enough stuff that you can do in single player (i beat all single player missions on every difficulty in one afternoon).

This game [stinks].

Do not buy. It is a waste of money. It is so boring and repetitive. I played it once for ten minutes and never played again, it was so bad. A complete waste of a good CD. It is not at all like Golden Eye if you are wondering. I hope this saves you [amt].

Fair, really overall dissapointing.

When I read articles about this game I couldn't believe it. People calling it the 007 for dreamcast with online options. I bought it the same day I bought Soldier of Fortune (A great way better game) and had real high hopes for this game. I was truly disappointed. Let me point out why: 1st: cruddy controls - This game is really made for the keyboard, but I really hate laying the keyboard down on my lap and trying to work everything when I want to sit comfortably. D1 proved to be the best control setting of them all for me. 2nd: Single player LACKS BIG TIME! - When you see the words single player missions, things like Duke Nukem 3D, DooM, and Golden Eye come to mind. Games that include sneaking past bad guys, finding keys, and wasting rounds of ammo blowing away bad guys. This is not true for Outrigger. The "Missions" are things like Collect 30 medals in 2 minuets and Destroy 4 terrorist in 5 minuets. Some of these missions are really hard and can tick you off beyond belief. I spent hours sweating over certain missions and throwing my controller down and cursing. Its really no fun for just one player. Even with 2 or 3 it becomes just another Deathmatch game, which isn't bad but gets boring fast. After you beat the game and the last mission with the two heavily armed terrorist your left with the question "What's next?" and it is quickly answered with the credits. I don't play this game much now, but I love to use the Enemies Bat and go around slugging people with it just to see how many kills I can get with a bat. 3rd: No Violence - Sure you shoot people, but there is no blood! I don't know maybe its me and the fact I bought Soldier of Fortune with this game, but its not entertaining. In SoF you blow peoples legs and arms off! Peoples heads cave in and organs fall out! But none of this appears in Outrigger. The only thing close is bodies catch on fire with the flame thrower, but then again its done 100% better in SoF, which adds screaming and realistic fire! With a T rating I kinda figured I was going to be let down. While it is a waste of money, it does have some good points. The elevator music soundtrack is something new. Going around blowing people up to calm relaxing music is a new to me and I really enjoyed it. Anyway avoid it unless you MUST get the game. Get Soldier of Fortune, a REAL 1st person shooter or save money for food.

Don't fall in

This game absolutely stinks.the repetitive gameplay is annoying.every mission is basically the same dang thing.you can only use 3 wepons really and The missions are exactly the same as training mode.Go spend your dinero somewhere else, like Quake III or unreal tournament.You shouldn't have to pay for this piece of munkey dodo!

awsome game with one flaw

i would have given this game a five star rating but it had one

down fall, the controls. ...

... in the option screen u can change the pre set controls to

other made up controls but then the other control options are

even worse. but besides the controls the game itself is off the

hook. the graphics are great, the music is great, the game play

is great, and the weapons in this game are just too much.

perfect dark wished it had weapons like these. i mean there are

tons of weapons to unlock. the game is just completely awsome,

but like i said before it's major down fall is the control

options. i hope i haven't stop anybody from buying this game.

it's probably the best team shooting game on the market today,

until u get use to the controls.

I was expecting something a lot better.

Well, let me just tell you what I think. The game is garbage.

When I first put the game in the console, I got so excited that I was going to play a fps for dreamcast. When the game started, I chose to go with the training missions first. But later, I began to get a little upset because they were incredibly easy. 15 minutes later, I chose to go with the regular combat missions. But what really blew my top was that the combat missions were just like the training missions. The first mission objective was to collect three coins.....the coins were in a straight line right in front of you. I didnt fire one bullet.
The day after I bought it with my hard earned dollars, I wanted to return it, but I could't because I broke the seal. DAMN!!!

Over all, I give Outtrigger a two star rating because of the multiplayer option, however, you only can carry three weapons and you die incredibly fast, bairly giving you any action or reaction time. Its almost like a one hit kill game. (Don't try to run from a guy with a flamethrower.)
Also, the arenas are so small, you can't hide or even think about what to plan against an opponent.

Don't make the same mistake I did and buy the game just by looking at screenshots.

It's GREAT --- if you don't have the wrong expectations

Outtrigger is not like Unreal Tournament or Quake 3, so don't expect it to. Its arenas are much smaller. Action is faster, more arcade-like. Graphics and sounds are great. It is very fun, especially with the online mode. Just don't expect it to be "like the others".
