Resident Evil: Outbreak

Has anyone played this? I bought it aaaaggggeees ago as i love the RE series of games. Played it a short while but couldnt really get used to it over the original single player aspects of the original games so on the shelf it went. Just came to sort a load of stuff to stick on the bay and i thought i would play it for a bit and i am really getting into it. Its nice having smaller senarios and its a bit more manic than the other games but fun none the less(Really like the way you can impede the progress of the zombies by blocking doors etc. Especially enjoyed the first senario when you blow up hundreds of zombies...

i hear its not that long and there are only a few senarios and no mplayer action but cant grumble for a tenner...

I rmemeber buying this JUST for the MP action, only to realise when i got it home they stripped the MP feature out of the PAL releases :mad:

Still a great game though, also have you considered RE: Outbreak 2?

Cant remmeber about the second one, wouldnt count your chickens though, its probably been stripped out of the PAL version again.

The Network kits are only £20
