Like that zombie that just won't die despite a shotgun wound to the chest, Resident Evil keeps coming back, much to the delight of fans, and now you can take it online with Resident Evil: Outbreak and share your distaste for zombies the world over. Fret not Resident Evil fans, Resident Evil: Outbreak is essentially the same game you know and love minus a few changes.
There are still plenty of zombies that are achin' to gnaw at your neck, but now instead of going at it alone, you're working with several other characters - controlled by either the computer or other players if you take it online - to complete the scenarios. However, just because you're stuck in the same boat doesn't mean you have to work together. Your adventure is completely independent from one another, and there's really no pressure to work together. Another staggering difference is that Resident Evil: Outbreak is divided into five different scenarios that are pretty independent of each other ' meaning, there's no longer a cohesive story.
Yet despite these differences, Resident Evil: Outbreak is essentially the same as previous incarnations: your ultimate goal is still survival, which is achieved by shooting zombies and solving puzzles while overcoming the often-awful camera angles. If you loved it before, you'll probably love it here. However, here's the hefty downside: there's little to no communication with your teammates. That's right, no voice chat and no chatting with a USB keyboard.
You can only communicate with teammates through 'ad-lib'? With such a loss in communication, the result is that you and the other players often wander off alone, circumventing that whole interaction thing that makes online games so fun. Granted, it was likely done to keep the sense of tension high, but in the end it seems to discourage teamwork, and isn't that what cooperative online games are all about?
Another major gripe is that there's a lot of loading. Without a HDD, every door you walk through will require a pretty substantial loading time. Combine that with the fact that areas are small and filled with a lot of doors, and then you'll see the problem. Supposedly, it's better with the hard drive that shipped with Final Fantasy XI, but it's something to be wary of from the outset.
You have to give Resident Evil: Outbreak credit for trying something new and succeeding on most levels, but if you were hoping that it would take the series in a new direction, then you might be disappointed because it's essentially a standard Resident Evil title with an online component. If you didn't like any of the other offerings with the Resident Evil name attached to it, then Resident Evil: Outbreak will do little to change your mind ' however, if you're a fan and can get past some of the major problems, then there's a lot to love here.
You like to play with yourself. That's OK--it's a perfectly normal, natural thing. It's also why Capcom dumped Outbreak's old name Resident Evil Online and added single-player capability to this fully 3D horror adventure. Up to four gamers can still play together over the Net, using teamwork and good ol' fashioned violence to solve puzzles and fight the undead. Or, if you like, you can play the same game solo, with the computer controlling your three partners. In fact, it might be more fun that way, depending on who you're playing with.
The different characters' there are eight abilities and points of view on the same events think RE2 are a clever hook, the graphics look sharp, and the whole teamwork vibe is something new that RE desperately needs. Only the inexplicable lack of voice chat or a virtual keyboard--you can communicate only through frustrating context-sensitive phrases the game chooses for you--kept my excitement in check.

The best thing about this game is that the game is all about the killing of the unknown creatures which are not defined in this version of the game. The Resident evil is the game based on the plot of the movie.
The story of the game also comes from the movie and the deadly creatures form as a result of a worse experimentation on human nature. The weapons introduced in the game are really simple and the ammo is always limited.
You have to find the ammo boxes around the house and have to reload the guns. The guns used in the game are small pistols but they are effective for these creatures. The graphical and visuals of Resident Evil 1 is normal and up to the mark. But the newer version are a lot more interesting as compared to graphics and stories. The sound effects in the game are really simple which includes the small noises of house. There are more interesting features in the game that you may like to play and notice.
There is another game that you may like to play is called The House of Dead 3.
