Now for those that do not know this is the sequel to Resident Evil Outbreak, the first Resident Evil ever to go online. The first game was quite popular so Capcom took a year or so and made the new one. Gameplay: 8/10 If you have played the past Resident Evil's you know the basic layout of this one. Unlike the other Resident Evil's though in this one you pick one of 8 characters with different strength's and qualities. Then you pick one of 5 scenarios to play or you can pick a minigame that you can unlock. The main part of this game though is the online. With the ability to go online and play a scenario with 3 others, it adds quite a bit of unique gameplay. Online there are special events that pop up once in a while to challenge the player even more but reward them nicely if they win. Now there are several neat aspects to offline as well. This time around you can pick who you want as allies. You can also go try to find the many Special Items scattered across the scenarios, which will take you a long time to find. Capcom has also added several new nice features. The most noticeable is you can now walk and shoot, just a little info though don't try to walk and shoot with a rocket launcher, that is not going work for obvious reasons. You can also pick up items while been on the floor crawling so you have a chance to heal yourself. Graphics: 7/10 Their not amazing, their not horrible. There are several nice designs, like the zombies and the environments have several nice touches here and there. But of course graphics may make this game slowdown a bit more, and most people would agree that it is better for a game to run smooth with lesser graphics than a laggy game with good graphics. Story: 7/10 Ok now some people may say that there is no storyline in the Resident Evil Outbreak series. But their partially wrong. You are one of the 8 survivors of Raccoon City trying to escape from the zombies and trying not to die. Now the scenarios may not exactly tie in witb the other ones, but that is because their scenarios, meaning they are "What If' situations. What If they went in the zoo, What If they went in the train station, etc. Sound: 8/10 Not a lot of comments to make here. Resident Evil games have always been about eerie situations so expect some low tone music to keep you on your feet. The sound effects are quite nice too, not much to comment on here. Replay Value: 10/10 Now this is where this game shines. In the first Resident Evil Outbreak game, I had over 100 hours online. Now with 5 scenarios and about 6 minigames to play offline and online with others, you can enjoy endless hours of fun. Not to mention a lot of unlockable costumes, pictures, music and the like.Read full review
RESIDENT EVIL: OUTBREAK FILE 2. If you've played any of the Resident Evil series of survival horror games, you'll be familiar with the campy zombies and mutants you run up against! I am a HUGE Zombie fan!! But of all the RE games, this one is the MOST like playing a B-movie in the palm of your hand! I LOVE IT! Its a little bit like Redneck Zombies meets Vampire in Brooklyn and is the first game in the series that puts AA characters in the drivers seat! Mark the security guard is an excellent character to play as and is an ABSOLUTE necessary back up 3rd player if you play off-line mode! [Whatever you do, DON'T take the reporter, Jim or Kevin as off-line third player back-up! They wander away constantly and are reluctant to help out when they're in the same room with you!] Jim the Subway employee [the other AA character] I don't believe has an AA voice, and in that respect I am disappointed. He does remind me of the eccentric AA DJ from The 5th Element, and Eddy Murphys side kick from 'Vampire in Brooklyn'. My absolute favorite levels so far are the ZOO and the Creepy hospital in the woods! GREAT FUN! Pet-peeves: The NPC unlockable players you buy with points are new designs over the same character frame; so they are hardly different aside from their new texturing. But the biggest reason this makes me unhappy is because in the cut scenes you see have the original character acting instead of the new look you chose!! Also, their dialogue is the almost word for word identical to the original frame character. This takes alot of the magic out fo collecting the NPC characters for me. There is also a 10,000 point mystery character, and I spent hours earning enough points to get it. MAN was I ever SORRY I did! . You wouldn't believe this but the 10,000 point mystery character is a series of colored [Reservoir dog rip-off names] STICK FIGURES with lollipop heads! If it was supposed to be funny, it's not! What a let down! I was expecting to be able to play as Wesker, or one of the other classic RE unplayable characters. Personally I do not like the option to play online with other people, because I find you get harrassed more than people will actually play with you. I prefer the classic two-player option so you can play with a friend or family member in the comfort of your own home and don't have to worry about being badgered for your age or having someone deliberately get your character killed for a quick laugh. Parents please note, this game is intended for a mature audience of 15 & up, for graphic language, gore and violence.Read full review
This was buy far the best series of resident evil ever made. If only capcom would create a production of RESIDENT EVIL OUTBREAK FILE 3 and refine the graphics, additional new characters and voice actors, easy to use control command system, new offline/online leves and secret unlockable levels, new weapons, and realistic zombie gore. I believe capcom would have another successful chapter in the series! I recommend this game to anyone who owns a ps2 console or wish to purchase one, this game is awsome! A BIG THANKS!!!!!! A++++++

I purchased this game a week ago, for my little Resident Evil Game Collection. I've been a fan of resident evil ever since the first game came out. The reason why I like the games so much is simply the Roll Playing thing, And resident evil has done a good job of making this series exiting. The thing that I didn't like about most of the games is the slow loading Of the game when entering the any doors. Currently I need The Nemesis, and the two Survivor games to complete my PS collection.
Well as I have said before Resident Evil outbreaks are different from other Resident Evils in the serise. However I found this one to be a vast improvement on the first Outbreak for several reasons. The game agian starts you with 8 different charecters each who have there own different strenghts and weaknesses and skills. The reason I liked this game so much is not because of the large amount of unlockabul secrets or the great graphics its more because of the story it tells. Like I have said before I am a huge fan of Resident evil I know quite a lot about its story and charecters. So I have decided to give a review on each stage of the game I hope this will help people decide whenether they would like the game or not. P.S - Unlike outbreak file to you can do the first four stages in any order after you complete the first four you unlock the final stage . Stage 1 - Wildthings The first stage sets place in Raccoon Citys very own Zoo where you must fight of Hyenas that have been infected with the T - Virus and Aligators. Also you must battle your way throught Lionesses and avoid being trampled on by titan a T - Virus infected Elephant. You have one of too Bosses in this stage eithier Titan the Elephant or a T - Virus Infected Lion. In my opinion the graphics and sounds in this stage are great. Stage 2 - Underbelly To escape the hords of zombies on the street you take shelter in a subway system filled with a hive of mutated fleas. However these fleas are no longer microscopic the are easily to times the size of your charecters and get strong each time the attack you. The boss in this level is Mega Bite the hive queen who is very very big. This level is set out very reasticlly and you get the feal of a real dark subway station. Stage 3 - Flashbacks Without a dout my favourite Outbreak level in this level you must go and solve a forgotten mystery and learn the true extent of Umbrellas evil. You start in the forest where you find your selves following Al some one who has lived in the Forest a long time and used to work in the old Hospital before in shut down ofcourse. You must fight your way throught plant zombies and your charecters are not alone as you are being stalked by the Axe man who might hold the key to this mystery. P.S - if you want the true ending to Flashbacks play as Alyssa go to every room in the Hospital and recive all the Flashbacks and collect every file and at the end fight the Axe man instaed of running. Stage 4 - Desperate Times Go back to a familar loctation the R.P.D HeadQuarters fight your way throught Zmbies and Lickers and you find out how Marvin the dying police officer in Resident Evil 2 recvived those nasty bites. This level is with out a dout one of the best as it is really good for old Resident Evil Fans to Relive the Horror of the police station wants agian. P.S. - If you want a new scence at the end complete this level as Kevin. Stage 5 - End of the Line I won't spoil this so I'le just say this stuck in an Umbrella lab and a MrX escapes can things get any worse. Well if you miss your flight on the evcation helicoter yes. As you must then face on the roof tops one of Umbrellas Largest and most deadly Bio - Weapons good luck. However it is still diffucult in places and the charecters AI is very good but its a lot of fun and worth buying. Thankyou for taking the time to read all this thankyou once agian DavidRead full review
