    Resident Evil: Outbreak PlayStation 2

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 15, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Resident Evil: Outbreak review helpful

    Pros: superb game and grfix

    Cons: A lot of things

    When Capcom first began making indications over two years ago that an online Resident Evil was in development, fans began to speculate about the potential for the game, envisioning a vast Raccoon City overrun by zombies in which many players could wo...rk together to escape the shambling menace. Now Capcom's efforts have come to fruition in Resident Evil Outbreak, and the result is something less than the initial concept may have suggested. At its heart, Outbreak is more or less your typical Resident Evil offering, presented in an episodic style that's uncharacteristic of the series and with four-player online support shoehorned into the standard RE format. It can be a fun experience--online and off--for diehard fans of the series, but the trite conventions and clumsy gameplay will probably turn off the average player. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 4, 2004 | 2 out of 4 found this Resident Evil: Outbreak review helpful

    Pros: Graphs

    Cons: Alot of things

    Just bought the game yesterday and I am disappointed. The graphics are great like all the other Resident Evil games. What I didn't like is the Heart pounding noise every time you went through a door. The other character's that basically follo...ws you won't shut up. You can only save your progress only once, then once you return and start that progress over it is deleted. I have played all the Resident Evil games for the Play Station 1 & 2. And can sit down for 3-4 hours having fun playing them. Outbreak I play for 10 mins and it just irritates me. Somebody may feel different from what I said, but this what I think about the game.

    Pros: Many character to choose,story similiar to movie

    Cons: Graphic and sound, weapons

    When Capcom first began making indications over two years ago that an online Resident Evil was in development, fans began to speculate about the potential for the game, envisioning a vast Raccoon City overrun by zombies in which many players could wo...rk together to escape the shambling menace. Now Capcom's efforts have come to fruition in Resident Evil Outbreak, and the result is something less than the initial concept may have suggested. At its heart, Outbreak is more or less your typical Resident Evil offering, presented in an episodic style that's uncharacteristic of the series and with four-player online support shoehorned into the standard RE format. It can be a fun experience--online and off--for diehard fans of the series, but the trite conventions and clumsy gameplay will probably turn off the average player. Past Resident Evil games have been quite plot-heavy, creating a continuous (if sometimes confusing) story arc over the course of the series. To facilitate the relatively short play sessions required for online play, Outbreak doesn't have one linear narrative--instead, it's broken up into five stand-alone vignettes that proceed in sequence but otherwise aren't really related. You'll start out in J's Bar during the initial zombie attack, and later you'll visit other locations such as an Umbrella Corp. research facility, an overrun hospital, and a burning hotel. There are little snippets of plot in these levels, but nothing you'll manage to care about--so if you like the cohesive and mysterious stories from past games, you might be disappointed here. Outbreak also breaks from tradition with its characters. In each scenario, you can choose one of eight ordinary citizens of Raccoon City, all of whom have some unique feature that you can exploit during the game. For instance, police officer Kevin starts out with a handgun already in his inventory; David, the plumber, has a repair kit that can be used to fix broken items; Alyssa, a newspaper reporter, can pick some locks; and student Yoko has a backpack that doubles her inventory size. These and other unique abilities make all of the characters worth checking out, as there are some areas that only specific characters can access. You'll probably settle on your favorite pretty quickly, however. Putting aside the addition of three other players into the mix, Resident Evil Outbreak plays like every other game you've played in the series. You run around various rooms, solving puzzles to allow you to escape to the next area while trying to fend off monster attacks and simply stay alive. The classic items from previous games are all here, such as the healing herb and health spray, handguns, and so on. In addition, there are more environmental objects that can be used as weapons, like metal pipes. The five scenarios feature a decent mixture of combat and puzzle-solving, the latter of which usually boils down to finding the right item and taking it to the right location so you can proceed. There are a couple of differences between previous RE games and Outbreak, though. Since there are potentially other people playing, the game keeps rolling no matter what you stop to do (even in the offline version), so it can be annoyingly hard to equip a new weapon, use a healing item, or read through a file for a puzzle clue or passcode while zombies are constantly advancing on you. On the upside, you're no longer bound to the archaic tank-style controls that have plagued the series for years. Now, thankfully, you can simply press the left analog stick in a direction and have your character move that way, which makes the game a little less frustrating to play than it might have been. Then again, there's enough frustration to deal with in other areas. Offline, your allies are controlled by an artificial intelligence that's pretty good at keeping them alive but doesn't always do the most sensible things. For instance, yo Read more Less

    Its worthy addition to the RE genre, but...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 8, 2004 | 0 out of 1 found this Resident Evil: Outbreak review helpful

    Pros: Graphics, new cinema's

    Cons: where do I start?

    For all the fans that loved RE 2 & 3, and can't seem to wrap there mind around a whole new RE concept will be disappointed with Outbreak. They have you playing these short "scenario's"
    ;, and at first I thought they were just to warm ...you up for the full-length game, but I was wrong.Also I thought each character you were able to use had their own story line, each character's story interacting with the others or at least some, but nope. I agree, I loved just playing RE for hours straight, instead of these short scenes. But maybe its more fun online. Elementary school students could solve the puzzles, and they still have you playing through the same areas in the previous RE games. And last, if you start playing you have to play it completely through because you can only save once, and even after that your previous data is erased once you load that data again. And get used to running, because Outbreak doesn't let you sit still long enough to enjoy the "fear-factor", but its not even scary! Honestly they focused too much on the online aspect of it and left the solo gamer out to dry. Read more Less
