Resident Evil Outbreak

I just got this game yesterday and I got a cool watch with it too !!! LOL I havent played it much though but the game is awesome. It has 2 modes, Single Player and Network.

The single player is what you should be playing 1st to familirize you with your control scheme and gameplay. Everytime you play you select a character and you have 2 more characters controlled by an AI, which is not very smart at times, but they cover yer ass sometimes.

You have 8 different characters to choose from and each one has his/her own special item and special moves. For example, Kevin, a new Racoon Police Officer who failed the STARS exam like 5 times, has a .45 gun and special moves kicks enemies away, but also can be used to kick doors open.

You have a button to "comunicate" with the AI controlled characters, that will make yer character say stupid stuff and captions appear on the bottom as if they were really having a conversation. With your Right Analog stick you can input comands for them to obey like, "Help me", "Follow me" and "Stop". You can pick up wounded characters to help them walk faster or help a character up a ledge.

The network mode I think its the best mode though. You play with 3 other Human controlled characters. The only drawback is that you cant comunicate with them in game, just by using the comands and phrase buttons. You must try to survive the different Scenarios with them but it is very hard to do if you dont know what you're doing. To survive you should stay together and work as a team.

The graphics are awesome and the sound really compliments the game, but there is too much loading. Each time you go through a door or a different area or witness a cutscene, you must sit thorugh at least 30 to 40 seconds of loading time. For faster loading times you have to install the game in the PS2 HDD and they "garantee" almost seamless gameplay.

In overall the game is pretty damn awesome and fun. And if yer a RE junkie like meh, you should get it. The online play is free which is a good thing too !!!!

I'm soooooooo going to get this game.


And the best thing about the game, the zombies don't run after you....like in Dawn of the Dead.

Ooo... They dont run but they go through doors. So when you open a door it only takes them so long to actually open it and sometimes the time is not enough... *sniffle*

Yea i got it thursday ive been playing alot with Kevin and Mark. Im an expert on scenario 1 and im working my way to mastering scenario 2.

Are you able to play the game offline, but with a network of 3 ps2s? I'd probably prefer it that way. That way I can just bark at people across the room, instead of using the control stick.

I really dont know if you can play LAN. I dont think so though... but ummm... I dunno...
