    It's more or less just a continuation of the game that came before. No innovation, no real improvements, nothing remarkable (aside from the zombie elephant, that was f**king awesome!!!)

    Overall:
    This feels more like an expansion and real wasted opportunity to improve upon the original. A real shame, as you can see the potential this series had.

    Ahhhhhh,the good ol'e memories. i remember playing this game on my modded ps2. i downloaded it from online,burned it and started playing it. this game is actually like re 1/2/3 on ps2 but with good graphics and online play you would love it when you play it,the story line is brilliant and more importantly the bosses are cool plus you get to select your own different characters andAhhhhhh,the good ol'e memories. i remember playing this game on my modded ps2. i downloaded it from online,burned it and started playing it. this game is actually like re 1/2/3 on ps2 but with good graphics and online play you would love it when you play it,the story line is brilliant and more importantly the bosses are cool plus you get to select your own different characters and campaigns and it's addictive as well. simply gonna love it.

    My rating for it would be 7.8/10

    Not as good as the first, but still very fun. The sequel kind of messed up the continuity of the first game, but the monsters from the older games were so cool to see in these graphics. Would recommend if you liked or loved the first Outbreak game.

    8 / 8 / 8 / 8 - 32 gold [Vol 822]
  2. More challenging puzzles, larger levels and new zombies to battle. All of this will please people who liked the first game and none of this will change the minds of people who hate the first game. Some of the key problems with the game like the lack of communication between players still hasn't been solved. [JPN Import]
  3. The best missions are better than the first Outbreak's but the others are too similar. Wait for the UK release to get the best of all words - online and fresh levels. [JPN Import; PSM2]
