    Awesome game, great multiplayer and I love the co-op story mode. Vehicle controls could use some work, but nothing you can't figure out.

    An amazing blend of RTS (real time strategy) and direct shooting action, graphics are great and espectacular but the best part is the creative and adictive gameplay. Tanks and vehicles looks beautiful. Be able to control the allies and the axis is so much fun.

    It may have cartoony graphics and may not redefine the gaming industry, but this game is FUN to play. It is very ADDICTIVE once you get into it. Some of the low reviews have to be from folks who didn't give the game a chance to grow on them. a must-have Xbox 360 title.

    A refreshingly new take on WW2. I love the not-so-serious style of gameplay and Destruction On Demand. The Single Player is a little linear, but the Multi-Player makes up for it. I am not as bothered by the graphics as some critics, just check out all the leaves on those trees.

    I've played this game a few times, and it's pretty fun. I like that they're trying to add a few new elements to the genre, rather than just do another box standard shooter...

    Good fun that is easy to pick up and a blast to play online. Now if only those vehicles controlled a bit better.

    For only $20 new and $17.99 used, you can torch Nazis, drive cool vehicles, and enjoy a top notch action strategy game. The most important thing about any game is the "Fun" factor. This game is incredibly fun!!!

    Graphics are good (not great), but the gameplay is so addictive, especially in multiplayer, that hours tick away like minutes. The split screen is fantastic. Nothing like trash talking your buddy who's sitting right beside you!

    While there are a lot of games like it, this game will satisfy. You are limited to 3 characters to use during levels or matches, but it has some cool weapons and many fun gameplay modes.

    Me and my brother seriously loved playing this game especially playing 1v1. The only downside is it's only on Xbox 360. If it was on Xbox one, ps4 and pc then there would be millions of downloads I'm sure

    Such an underrated game, and (I think) to say it was a launch title, it really is a lot of fun on couch co-op. One of my all time favourites, yet very few people bought or heard of it. A little gem if you appreciate what you are getting is more towards arcade fun than a war simulation. But a very good game to chill out to

    The Outfit does not aspire in the slightest to reflect the sights and sounds of real-life combat in dubya-dubya-two. It aspires to be one thing and one thing only: fun. [Apr 2006, p.82]

    Though a bit rough around the edges in places, The Outfit's fearless fusion of action and strategy pays off in a big way. It's engaging, it's addictive, and it's ferociously one-of-a-kind. [Apr 2006, p.74]
  3. The Outfit's aim for a bold blend of action and strategy gets sabotaged by a repetitious single-player campaign, but it is redeemed somewhat by a more-inspired multiplayer.
