ABOUT THE GAME

Resident Evil Outbreak is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2. It was released on December 11, 2003 in Japan, on March 30, 2004 in North America, and on September 17, 2004 in PAL regions. It was the first entry in the Resident Evil video game series to feature cooperative gameplay and online multiplayer support, although online support was not available for the PAL versions of the game. Outbreak depicts a series of episodic storylines in a zombie-inhabited Raccoon City. Players control eight characters with unique abilities. It is set during the same general time period as Resident Evil 2 (1998) and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999). Capcom released a standalone expansion, Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2, the following year. The game was praised for its graphics, fun factor and multiplayer, but criticized for lacking voice chat.
