hi folks , im currently n the middle of resident evil 4 , i also ordered the outbreak version on ps2 , it looks good , but the question is , is it any good ?

Outbreak version..? Or are you talking about the Outbreak series?

sorry i meant the outbreak series lol

It's great and has the classical RE gameplay style (what REs have you played?) with some interesting tweaks. The Outbreaks are the hardest REs though. They also have a lot of interesting enemies and memorable locations.

It's fun how you can use brooms, pipes, etc. as a weapon, a lot like in the Silent Hill series.

i look forward to playing them , im currently shooting my way through resident evil 4 , wow what a game its best i played yet .

ive played resi 1 , 2 ,3 , the dreamcast version of code veronica , resi zero on the gamecube , and of course resi 4 which im on at the moment

The AI controlled players are somewhat stupid at times, but it won't hinder your gameplay too much. Being able to drop items or give them to teammates makes item organization alot better and easier than the others in the series. There is also a ton of unlockables including music, pictures and making NPC characters playable. Also the mini-games are fun as well. It's mostly a game that some people love and others hate. If you are able to find a PS2 Action Replay I'd suggest buying it as it unlocks characters that were planned for Outbreak File 3 that was never released.

I dont think Outbreak is all that great...the AI is very weak and the load times are dumb...the only good thing the games have are great locations and sountracks...I do think File 2 is better though

Oh yeah I forgot about the load times. Opening a door in File#1 takes forever. Thank God they were cut in the second game.

cutting back on the load times was a much needed improvement in the second game...it bugged the hell out of me in the first game

I like File 1 a lot. I play on Easy, but its still horrifying and extremely fun. The crappy save system actually adds to the scares, since, if you die, you have to restart the scenario. I love this system, since it really gives you a feeling of life and death.

Although File 2 has a lot more bonuses. It has 5 more Scenarios, you can select your partners, and save at Typewriters and actually save your data, rather than just providing an opprotunity to leave if you want to.

I forgot about the awkward save system in Outbreak...I didnt care for it at all

I did enjoy both of the games online it was fun but with the bots it not that fun

I found the bot players to be fun to play with. They add nicely to your item management and can sometimes even be useful. They make the game different, that's what I'm trying to say.

And if you hate the bots I believe if you beat the game you unlock "lonewolf" mode so you can play through without them if you want
