Interestingly there is only one cop, so straight out shooting is not the answer - stealth is now on the menu. So you start the game choosing one of eight players, all with different skills. As we understand it, the original premise for the game was for it to be an online multiplayer, but the online capability is lacking from the UK version - and the fans are livid as the US version supports online play.

Outbreak takes a slightly different twist, encouraging cooperative action. The normal Resident Evil formula involves you adventuring (normally) on your own against the hordes of undead. The sound is also very good - turn it up loud. In the game itself, the graphics are good, but the slower pace of the game means there is often time to see much more of what is going on. You can see that someone has put in the hard yards to do this right, and the result is very satisfying. So much so, that the normal movie style introduction, with credits and so on (of which I am an ardent hater) is actually worth watching. The first thing that strikes you about Outbreak are the graphics - they are quite honestly something else. Outbreak is the latest offering from the horror masters so we put it through its paces - more of the same, or a new kind of horror? (Pocket-lint) - Resident Evil has had a long history, with successful games, and less successful movies.
