Wrapped up with gorgeous presentation all round, with sumptuous 360 visuals and booming, atmospheric sound and music, the gameplay never fails to be anything less than engaging and enjoyable, both throughout the single player campaign and in the fantastic and fully online multiplayer modes.
The unique gameplay is extremely well conceived, if not perfectly pulled off, and coupling it with some super hot multiplayer action earns The Outfit a medal.

Such an underrated game, and (I think) to say it was a launch title, it really is a lot of fun on couch co-op. One of my all time favourites, yet very few people bought or heard of it. A little gem if you appreciate what you are getting is more towards arcade fun than a war simulation. But a very good game to chill out to

Even those seasoned RTS gamers may think twice about this game based purely on its awful driving implementation.
Probably the most notable issue however is driving the various vehicles which can be extremely cumbersome.
Neither attractive looking, nor is it as arcade-like and fun to play as it should be. The single-player game is repetitive and plodding. There is tons of potential to be explored here that isn't.
The lopsided AI isn’t the least of the problems in the single player campaign. Most of the levels involve marching down a single path, with the level typically coming to an end when you reach the end.
What we can't get past is how ordinary the combat feels, the distinct lack of tension throughout, the constant repetition and one-track lack of variety. And as much as the multiplayer is better, you're still hamstrung by uninspired combat, not to mention the game's all-round lack of technical impressiveness.
I personally remember really enjoying the Outfit when I was a kid but revisiting it today is just sad. For starters the visuals even for 2006 seems really underwhelming and you will here the same few generic military themes throughout the whole game. So the music and visuals aren't impressive but what is interesting is the gameplay at least at first. It's a weird mix of 3rd person shooter and RTS and while its kind of neat the game lacks in variety and so by the half way point in the campaign you'll of seen pretty much every thing this game has to offer. Spawn a tank in and spam defensive units in certain areas and you'll pretty much win most of the game by doing this. And the story doesn't help much as all the characters are your standard WW2 stereotypes. And the tone is all over the place like one moment it seems they wanted it to be this over the top goofy squad shooter and than other moments its suppose to be serious. Pair that with very janky gameplay, dumb AI and some of the most unsatisfying gun play I've experienced and you got yourself a mediocre game. Overall the game isn't terrible as I did enjoy some parts in a sort of arcade way and the style of game was interesting but by the the last level I just wanted it to be over with.
