A bit short, but makes up for it with great characters, good premise, and tons of replay value.
This underappreciated gem was released some years ago and it never went over that well in America, I never understood why.
It has everything people love of the original games, with wonderful additions such as melee weapons thrown in. The only real problem with the game would have to be the AI. They could use some work, but they can still be fun to play with if you like escort-mission type games. If not then play through the game once then buy "Lone Wolf Mode" which will let you play without them. The story may be a bit confusing, and you definitly won't get it if you don't play File 2 as well, but the best thing about outbreak would have to be the gameplay and the characters. All eight of the characters are surprisingly deep for a game that was once online, they are like normal people just trying to survive, unlike the main RE characters who are all stereo-typical good guys who have no flaws. You might not like the game if your one of those people who only play RE games for story, but this game is a wonderful addition to any true RE fans collection, it may not be online anymore, but it can still offers countless hours of entertainment. The puzzles are clever, each scenario has it's own scary atmosphere about it, and it has the largest amount of different enemy types out of any RE game to date. If you love the original RE games, then do yourself a favor and find this game right now!
