THE GOOD:Unlockable Bonuses, Multiple Player Characters, Partner Feature, Challenging Gameplay, Amazing FMV Cut Scenes, Nostalgia Value.
THE BAD:
Slow Loading Time, Strange Glitches.
SUMMARY:
Capcom once again proves that they can blow us out of the water with the Survival Horror genre. Outbreak is a credit to the series, boasting new features never before seen.
The FMV's are asbolutely beautiful, making you feel like you're playing "Resident Evil: The Movie: The Game".
Outbreak takes place back in Raccoon City sometime prior to Claire and Leon's romp from Resident Evil 2. There are two scenarios where you can completely re-explore previous RE locations, bringing a pleasing sense of nostalgia to the experience. Players will find themselves exclaiming, "Holy crap! I know where I am! This is so cool!"
The partner feature is a new twist, having two AI characters or up to three Online teammates makes for a much more interesting run through the game. This, combined with the real-time inventory selection process makes it that much more true to real life.
The array of selectable characters and unlockable secrets is astounding. Players won't find themselves getting bored anytime soon, despite the limited number of playable scenarios.
The only downfall to this game is the slow loading times in between cut scenes, and the occasional glitches related to specific characters. All in all this game is excellent, and belongs in any hardcore Survival Horror fan's game library.
