As a great friend and supporter of the Resident Evil series, which has really played all the parts, I had high hopes for Resident Evil Outbreak. What I got, however, to play now, was probably the worst part of the series. Nevertheless Outbreak has also positive, so that I not only can give criticism here. Especially the excellent graphics can be cited as a positive. The faces of the characters have a really stunning facial expressions and the environment graphics are great. Fire and smoke effects en masse, as well as fantastic render sequences complete the picture. Music and sound design are as always well. The control has finally discovered the analog stick, and the camera is acceptable. Now for the negatives: There are virtually no story! Locker interwoven individual episodes can somehow come up not really Resident Feeling, convinced the previous title but just with their nested story and characters. Here you can learn virtually nothing about the characters. Why Yoko changed their appearance at the beginning of the game? What are they fleeing? Who is David? What about his past? Questions that could have been in an offline game can answer. Here are just all on the run. Where offline game of actually sticking point is designed as an online game falls in Outbreak on at every turn that the offline mode was only intended as a bonus. Eben lack Story online would not so much noticed and fell into the weight. Moreover hoe difficult the game, which is mainly due to the rare stupid AI of the CPU fellow (again something that the online mode is not the problem would be). Since guns are discarded and added instead stones, confronted monsters where you could pass, etc. It would have been nice if you could change the predecessors like the characters (for example, as in Demo Stone). Another factor that will probably drive you crazy any, are the extremely long loading times. I felt transported back to Amiga-times with a drive. This really does not have to be now. Nevertheless, this game has its appeal, although limited: it looks good, is rapidly (except load times), know some new moves on and clearly the oppressive atmosphere of his predecessors. For fans three stars, for all other two. Let's see, what brings us to the next part
