  • Summary: In the year 2034, Earth has barely escaped the collision with a comet. Passing in dangerous proximity to the Earth, the comet scorched the atmosphere and hundreds of meteorites poured their fiery rain down causing death and destruction and delivering alien life spores which started quickly developing under the planet's conditions. Within several days after the catastrophe aliens spread across vast territories and captured many objectives. The game plot describes a military campaign to resist the invasion and the main character's participation in it. [GSC Game World]… Expand

    It's not perfect, when the different styles fail to gel the game can become frustrating, however when it does, it offers one of the best FPS experiences around.

    In all honesty just another military fps/team based game.

    Our expectations have been comprehensively destroyed by what is a truly mediocre title. Save the world from a race of parasitic aliens? We'd rather have a nice cup of tea, thanks all the same.

    Hold your nose through the boring first 2 or 3 missions and find out that you have bought a game that has the fear factor of AVP2, the strategy of Delta Force and the quality friendly/enemy AI of Half-Life. Yes, the graphics leave somewhat to be be desired, but if your one of the many that say it's the gameplay that counts, then Codename: Outbreak has that in spades! An easy to decide 9 out of 10 for a game that suprised me in the most pleasant of ways as each new mission came along (after the first 2 or 3 missions/hour of play) !!!… Expand
