User Rating: 7.5 | BioHazard Outbreak (PlayStation 2 the Best) PS2
The beginning of Outbreak is set a couple of days after the initial outbreak of the T-Virus in Raccoon City, moments before the crisis erupts into complete chaos. The game ends in the final moments of the same incident, with the player attempting to escape Raccoon City before the US government launches a missile strike to eliminate the threat posed by the T-Virus. The player controls one of eight characters, or numerous supporting characters who can be selected in their place. Gameplay events transpire across various regions of Raccoon City and span over a period of several days which i thought was pretty interesting.

you chooses a scenario, difficulty level, and a character. The difficulty level is tied to what enemies and items the player encounters as they progress through the scenario. The game has five scenarios, each of which has an event checklist consisting of special actions that the player must perform to reach 100% completion. Upon doing so the player will unlock "Infinity Mode" in which all the player's weapons never break or run out of ammunition.

Each scenario also has "SP" items. These are invisible items hidden throughout the level, and are randomly generated on two paths. There are twenty scenario items for each scenario, and twenty items specific to each character hidden across the five scenarios. If acquired, these items unlock new costumes and the option to listen to their ad-libs. when u actually think about it its a really great idea putting in scenarios makes it more intresting.

there is 8 different charcters with there own personalities, jobs, and items they are actually different from one and other.

Kevin Ryman who is a Raccoon City police officer. He carries a .45 caliber pistol and his powerful kick allows him to destroy zombies even while unarmed. He can also take time to aim carefully, which allows him to deal more than normal damage to an enemy with a single shot. Kevin also has a large health meter, second only to Mark. His friendly, casual nature caused him to fail the S.T.A.R.S. entrance examination twice.

Mark Wilkins is a war veteran who moved to Raccoon City after the Vietnam War. He later became a security guard, and carries his own customized Beretta 92FS. Furthermore, he is skilled with melee weapons. One of Mark's prominent features is his "Block" ability, which prevents most forms of damage but does not prevent infection. Although Mark is one of the slowest characters, he makes up for it with having the most health of any character in Outbreak.

David King is a plumber with a violent, troubled past. Tough and resourceful, David is a skilled knife fighter. He carries a toolbox which contains a small folding knife and several small wrenches which may be thrown at enemies. The toolbox also contains junk parts which can be used to repair damaged firearms and duct tape which allows David to combine otherwise mundane items into formidable weapons.

Cindy Lennox is a waitress working at J's Bar in Raccoon City. Her special attributes include a case for carrying herbs, healing others with them, and being able to duck to avoid attacks.

George Hamilton is a recently divorced surgeon at Raccoon General Hospital. George's skill is transforming the healing herbs found in the various scenarios into pills which can be stacked and therefore can be carried more efficiently than the herbs themselves.

Yoko Suzuki is a quiet college student with a mysterious past. Yoko can hold twice as many items in her inventory as other characters by using her backpack, and she is the character least susceptible to infection. She has a special quickspin-crawl move, which is used to dodge attacks.

Alyssa Ashcroft is a newspaper reporter able to pick locks and evade her enemies' attacks. By aiming more carefully, Alyssa can do extra damage with handguns. She has a quick backstep move to avoid enemies.

Jim Chapman is a subway employee who can fool enemies into thinking he is already dead by throwing himself onto the ground. Jim is highly superstitious, often flipping a coin to see if his luck will change for the better. He can easily determine the location of items in a room, although they show up as question marks on the map.
