Now for those that do not know this is the sequel to Resident Evil Outbreak, the first Resident Evil ever to go online. The first game was quite popular so Capcom took a year or so and made the new one.
Gameplay: 8/10
If you have played the past Resident Evil's you know the basic layout of this one. Unlike the other Resident Evil's though in this one you pick one of 8 characters with different strength's and qualities. Then you pick one of 5 scenarios to play or you can pick a minigame that you can unlock.
The main part of this game though is the online. With the ability to go online and play a scenario with 3 others, it adds quite a bit of unique gameplay. Online there are special events that pop up once in a while to challenge the player even more but reward them nicely if they win.
Now there are several neat aspects to offline as well. This time around you can pick who you want as allies. You can also go try to find the many Special Items scattered across the scenarios, which will take you a long time to find.
Capcom has also added several new nice features. The most noticeable is you can now walk and shoot, just a little info though don't try to walk and shoot with a rocket launcher, that is not going work for obvious reasons. You can also pick up items while been on the floor crawling so you have a chance to heal yourself.
Graphics: 7/10
Their not amazing, their not horrible. There are several nice designs, like the zombies and the environments have several nice touches here and there. But of course graphics may make this game slowdown a bit more, and most people would agree that it is better for a game to run smooth with lesser graphics than a laggy game with good graphics.
Story: 7/10
Ok now some people may say that there is no storyline in the Resident Evil Outbreak series. But their partially wrong. You are one of the 8 survivors of Raccoon City trying to escape from the zombies and trying not to die. Now the scenarios may not exactly tie in witb the other ones, but that is because their scenarios, meaning they are "What If' situations. What If they went in the zoo, What If they went in the train station, etc.
Sound: 8/10
Not a lot of comments to make here. Resident Evil games have always been about eerie situations so expect some low tone music to keep you on your feet. The sound effects are quite nice too, not much to comment on here.
Replay Value: 10/10
Now this is where this game shines. In the first Resident Evil Outbreak game, I had over 100 hours online. Now with 5 scenarios and about 6 minigames to play offline and online with others, you can enjoy endless hours of fun. Not to mention a lot of unlockable costumes, pictures, music and the like.
