I can see what they were going for but it doesn't work. This probably takes the cake as one of the most boring survival horror games I've ever played, and it's not a yummy cake. It's a s*** cake.

Best game EVER. Instead of surviving the horrors of zombies and monsters as typical police or war veterans, you play as un experienced civilians stuck in the horrors of Raccoon City. They need to escape before the bombs drop. This is a GREAT prequel to the events of RE2 and RE3. It takes place RIGHT when the outbreak starts. Shows alot of how things happened too. (how marvin the cop was wounded, etc.)… Expand

great game! I love this game and i hope that the game gets a third. PLEASE fans, sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/042690/petition.html we need 10000 and have 9000!

Outbreak has a very cool opening that impress in all directions to the first few second to the next minutes. After getting grabbed by the overall great cut scene, and getting introduced to the gameplay, It felt nice for some minutes. After 15 minutes everything started to not plug or be interesting, starting with the story, then the "RPG" concept to it, didn't had a nice balance , to boring to repetitive. Also , to start with, this is where the game start to fall in pieces in terms of scary factors the crew responsible from this Outbreak developed more deep that problem in future games, when I say that I mean to RE5 that was just not what is Resident Evil. I wish this outbreak could had been more catastrophic.… Collapse

ive been wanting a resident evil game in co op since i played the very first RE game . i was so pained to have to play this game . the online was just ruined with the fact there is NO VOICE CHATT OR EVEN TYPING!!!... WTF!!! its a co op game for christ sake . you kind of need to talk to help solve puzzles , work together , share ammo, decide where to go among many other things a damn mic would help with. i mean if this game supported Voice chatt i could have probubly given it a 8. the offline mode is ok but to short and your AI team mates are morons . they just run off and do there own thing and maybe you will run into them again some where down the road. the puzzles are pretty tricky which you may like or hate . i didnt mind them . the load times are alittle to long you would think with the HDD add on it would help alot but it maybe cuts it down by 25% . since this game is ment for online and with no voice chatt its not a game i can recomend for any one but the hardest RE fan .if you where looking for a cool co op game to play online this sure as hell isnt it.… Expand

Resident Evil fans such as myself will love Outbreak. The CGI graphics are amazing, almost PS3 quality. The puzzles are challenging (yay no more puzzles for 2 year olds), the guns have realistic power and you can use melee weapons like the iron pipe. The new virus gauge keeps you on your toes as well. Ok the AI characters will not stop talking, but other than that, the game is brilliant!

I gave this game a 9 because the puzzles are hard and the worst part is that you can never find any thing and your partners just wont shut up! but it's a good game because it's suspenseful and you never know what is goindg to happen next unless you've beat it before.

This game should not be allowed to use the Resident Evil name. Being a Resident Evil game I expected lousy controls. I didn't expect the lousy controls to be one of the most refined features of the game though. As a fan of the series I really tried to lie the game but the boring gameplay and constant subtitles flashing accross the screen turned a mediocre game into a bad one. Seems like the developer released the game before completing it. THe only scary thing about this game is the price I paid for this trash.… Expand

If you like Resident Evil, you will love Outbreak, even though your virtual comrades tend to act a little frustrating at times (vanishing while still holding key items is one of those things I really appreciate about them... :D ) Other than that Outbreak is a well-designed game, featuring improved controls, a FANTASTIC score and great graphics that boast of detail and atmosphere. It´;s a shame that CapCom removed the on-line feature from the PAL-Version though... :/ (9/10)… Expand

It is because the game has so many good graphics that makes it interesting.

The only scary thing about this game is how bad it is. The puzzles are frustrating, the multiplayer is impossible. I did jump out of my seat once, but that was to turn off this wretched, horrendous excuse for a videogame.

Crap crap crap.

This is a game that you MUST play onlline, it´s still flawed, and you need the HD to get the whole out of it, but in the end, it is a very nice game, and the addition of the "friendly fire" is literally a blast!

This game rocks it kicks major ass.

The MOST realistic Resident Evil game yet!!! I encourage any Resident Evil fans to BUY this game.

This game is all right but in my opinion if you din;t have a network adapter you better buy one. It's just not fun if it's not online.

It's not THAT great, and what's the deal with those losers voting with 10 before the game is out and just comment with "it's GONNA be great" - SHUT UP!

Best game so far this year.

It's great when you use david you can make weapons and use it against the zombies.

This game is good, but if you don't have the network adapter DO NOT BUY IT. If you do try it. It's fun.

This game kicks mega ass u should get it if u have a ps2, no questions asked.

Holy F....!!!!!!!!!!! This game is in-f....in-credible. If u got a PS2 there is no reason not to get it. SO BUY THIS GAME.

Like with any game that offers online teamplay....if you can't easily communicate ....the online portion becomes worthless.

I've played and beat everyone of these games resident evil outbreak is going to kick ass especially if you can defend yourself by punching zombie and hitting them with various other objects gettin it 2 day.

I say its going to be cool.

I think this one is going to be awesome because you turn into a zombie which i think is cool.

I have a friend with the Jap version, it is really good, but what I really wanted to say was PLEASEE!!!!! Don't put reviews on here saying "this game is gonna rock!!" or "I can't wait to play it! It looks great." This isn't a message board, please save it for when the game comes out. The only thing I don't like about this game is that I don't have broadband, so it's more jealously than a bad point, cause the online play would be fun, I wish I read japanese!!… Expand

The only bad thing about this game is that when you´re a zombie you´re slow.

I've played this game on japanese version. It's FUN, GRAPHICS can be matched to GameCube, also Don't need to pay monthly fee on US version. BUT, there is a serious problem! LOADING....... Each Loading takes over 10 SECONDS!!!!! If you go next door and get back immediately, you already spent at least 20 SECONDS!!!!! HA! With HDD, it takes 3-4 seconds, BUT WITHOUT HDD, some loading takes almost 18 seconds!!! If you want to buy HDD for this game and future HDD games, I suggest DON'T. Online support game 'Monster Hunter (Capcom)' was released in Japan, will come in Fall. The game also support 4players netplay, and NO HDD SUPPORT. NO LONG LOADING. Hey, They can make a great quality game without HDD required! I don't think there is enough HDD support game in future. … Expand

this game is so gonna rock....i loved every other resident evil and adding online to this one is so gonna be awesome..i cant wait till the 30th!!

This game is gonna be so f...... awesome in so many ways. I can't wait till i get it. It features so many things that are just unbelieveable.
