Had so much fun with this game. Never did play it online. The only frustrating thing was that you are infected to begin with and you might get close to the end and die from infection.

Awesome

With multiple objectives, this game will keep you coming back to play again and again. First, find the way out. Second, search for secret items. Third, see how quickly the scenario can be completed. Fourth, do the first three objectives in one of the four difficulty levels.

Some fans may find it a bit boring after Resident Evil 4 as this game has more of a classic Resident Evil feel. Also, even on the easier modes, this game is very challenging. It's not for the impatient or easily frustrated.

I gave it five out of five for fun, overall play and another 5 for replay value. No Resident Evil collection is complete without this game.

Even Better Than the First

The controls are a lot easier, and the ad-libs are improved. The game has a "Training Ground" scenario, which is actually the outbreak scenario from the first game, abbreviated, so that you can learn the controls.
The first real scenario is "Wild Things," which takes place in a zoo. It's a lot of fun, except it's very annoying to have the elephant chase you around. But the mutant tigers and heyenas are pretty cool. The second scenario, "Underbelly," takes place in a subway. It has tick-like monsters that grow when fired upon, which is very interesting. The third scenario is my favorite, called, "Flashback." It takes place in an abandoned hospital in the middle of a forest. It's very ominous, and a masked man chases you with a hammer! It involves plant monsters, and has awesome zombies with flowers growing out of their heads!
The fourth scenario, "Desperate Times," takes place in the police department of Resident Evil 2 and 3 fame. It's cool to see an upgraded, PS2 version of the station. There are intriguing puzzles that don't interfere with the continuity of the other games, and actually help to enhance it. The annoying thing is that rooms are pumped full of gas at random that will harm you, and you must use special canisters to counteract the affects of the gas. The fifth and final scenario, "End of the Road," moves from a secret lab, to the sewers, to the streets of Raccoon City, from the "Outbreak" scenario in the first game. It's great to see the Tyrant protecting you for a change, and it also features the return of the hunters.
As with the first game, the virus meter is very annoying, and largely dictates the pace of the game, since you need to acquire as many health items as possible and use them quickly. But their are even more things to unlock, and more fun to be had.

Great Game

This is a great Resident Evil game. I have been playing Resident Evil games since 1996. Yes, the storyline is cheesey, but overall it is a great game. I hope Capcom is through makeing stories about Racoon City. I would like more Resident Evil games like Resident Evil 4. "Resident Evil forever!"

A VERY enjoyable game.

Let's admit it, the first Resident Evil Outbreak had the BEST levels, but it was kinda blah after that. Outbreak File: 2 had a nice improvement. The ability to somewhat walk while aiming was nice. You no longer have to standing shooting while waiting for your doom. Some of the characters now have their own items that are just for them. That was a NICE improvement. The levels are a little more hectic now, but the alternate endings in Outbreak 1 were much better. The online play is good, if you find some good people to play with. I didn't mind not having voice chat or anything like that, it was good to keep the game somewhat realistic. It would suck, if you heard a deep manly voice coming from one of the female characters. Also people would just talk about other things besides what's going on in this game and it'd be too much like a chat room with zombies. I give this game a 5 out of 5, a definite must have for any REAL Resident Evil fan.

Good but, alittle complicated

Oh,my real name is Jordan R.Brown and yeah,I'm using my mom's account.Just letting you know.

I'm a huge fan of Resident Evil movies and games.But,when I first played this game,it was good and then I got it.I'm not even afriad of Resident Evil monsters but,I like Resident Evil Outbreak better but,there are some things missing in file #2 but,i'm not sure but,overall it's good but,it's just missing some things and parts that are making any sence but,yeah i agree with with all of you.

The puzzles are complicated but,I think "UnderBelly and "Despert Times" are one of the most puzzles one because,it seems very frustrating and confusing and plus,they are some characters that you need for those chapters.

But,I still think it's a good game but,I still like Resident Evil Outbreak better.Resident Evil is one of the best horror games I ever played.Resident Evil Rules!!

Good game

I have every RE game and if you ask me I think all RE games are great even this one I dont get why people gave this game a bad review.

Its a improvement from resident evil outbreak 1.You get to pick your own partners and every person comes with a new second personal item and this time if you dont want it you can actually get rid of it and use the space for something else.The items include luck charms,bandages that stop you from bleeding.

There are new levels such as the zoo,police department,subway, a wierd level where you go to this castle type thing that has vines hanging from the ceiling and stuck on the walls. Oh and if you've never played the game before when you enter the hall there will be a guy with an axe he does'nt die but if you shoot him enough he will run off but find you again later. ANYWAYS!

Some problems with the game are it takes awhile to load in between rooms and if your not playing on the internet its hard to get your partners to do what you think they should be doing oh and theres always one partner that insists on going on there own so use the right analog stick to talk to them and they might not leave.

Lots better than the first

Okay, I kinda didn't like the first game too much (slow gameplay and all) but this one looked more interesting from the cover and description. So, does this game reek like the reanimated corpses? NO!! Capcom actually did a very good job putting this game together, fixing a lot of bugs from the other games. Like for instance the annoying Ad-libs no longer have the VO's and are replced by silence (my ears stopped bleeding ;))

Another cool feature is the ability to shoot and walk at the same time, a first for the series. While it may not be revolutionary, it is quite useful especially against Hunters and these new bug creatures called Mega-Bites (real original, huh?).

Capcom knows that the undead are pretty lame and we need a replacement (hint: RE4) so some of the levels get rid of the zombies, or have a variation of them. For example, "Wild Things" takes place in the zoo with zombified animals, like an elephant, who would have killed you anyway even if he weren't infected with the t-virus (I hear elephants are clumsy sometimes, that would be a sad death >__<). You will not find human zombies in this level. Dogs are replaced with lions (that's right, lions), crows are replaced with hornbills (?!) and the bees make an appearence.

Another interesting twist is the Axeman in the "Flashback" scenario. Its some man with a hood who appears to be human chasing you with an axe, nice. Is he human? To find out play this scenario and collect all the main file, its interesting to see who it is. Also they placed a plant zombie in this level, which can poison you.

So should you buy this game? If you are a RE fan, definately pick this one up. If you like the 3rd person shooter games, pick up a copy because it is more like those others with the feature to walk and shoot.

PROS:
- The certain Ad-libs are silent
- The "Desperate Times" scenario takes place in the RPD and there's a scene that shows Leon and Claire's car at the end with a certain character.
- There's more unlockables
- You can transfer your data from the first game over to this
- You can unlock everything in the first game by transferring data from the 2nd game.
- You can shoot and walk at the same time.
- There are newer and cooler enemies.
- Loading times can be cut with the HDD
- You can point out a room on your map to your partner
- You can ask your partner to use an item on themselves
- You can get a $10 rebate if you send in proofs of purchase from both games (until 6/30/05)

CONS:
- The game can be completed in a reletively short amount of time.
- You have to unlock all the costumes if you didn't play the first game.
- Loading times are bad w/out the HDD
- The AI can be a little slow at times

A lot better than the first

This game is definetly not for the people who play Resident Evil 4; it's just for the people who are Raccoon City fans.

File 2 is better than the first in some ways. You get to choose your partners; that doesn't always have a good effect in the game, but it's still cool.
A big thing in this game was the ability to aim and walk; the big problem was I kept forgeting I could do that because I am adapted to the other Resident Evils.
It looks like the load time from room to room is a little less, but it still gets on your nerves.
The costumes are a little better; they at least look cooler.
The elimination and showdown rounds are pretty cool as well.(I can't remember if there were any in file 1.)

The levels [I think] are the best part about file 2. The police station, the zoo, and the hospital were all really fun. The subway and the lab are kind of boring, but improvements from the last boring levels like below freezing and hellfire.
It's also kind of fun to look for the special items and events when you are replaying the levels.

You should probably just rent the game before you buy it, unless you liked file 1.

PS2 Resident Evil Outbreak 2
