Resident Evil: Outbreak (PS2)

It doesn’t feel like it, but it has now been over a decade since the original Resident Evil (or Biohazard, if you’re Japanese) title burst onto the then still-youthful PlayStation scene. 1996’s best game was serious, violent and controversial, but also intelligent, challenging and gorgeous to look at. It came to define ‘survival-horror’ as we now know it today, and with two rip-roaring sequels following over the next four years, Capcom’s series was assured ‘classic’ status by the time the PSOne-era came to a close.

Hi, this is my review for Resident Evil Outbreak. When I first bought this game, after being a fan of the series for a long time, I had already heard that it was online as Capcom had announced it over two years beforehand. This was, however, no benifit for me, as my network adaptor does not connect properly to the internet.
