Is RE: Outbreak worth playing through the single player mode? It's one of those games I really wanna try, but I just can't be bothered to even rent it for some reason.
Here, let me convince you to try it....
-It's exactly the same offline as online, you just play with bots instead of other humans.
-Use teamwork to solve puzzles and help each other out.
-You can use push-where-you-want-to-go controls
-Several different scenarios taking place durring the virus outbreak in Racoon City
-Multiple characters each with their own occupations and special abilities allowing you to see each scenario from different perspectives.
-Hand-to-hand combat moves, though some characters are better than others.
-Creatively use items and interact with environments. Example: Use a nail gun as a weapon or to board up doorways.
-Unlock truckloads of stuff. Images, movies, music tracks, new characters, costumes, items, etc. with points earned by playing through scenarios. More points and bonuses for faster times.
Overall it's a great game if you are a real RE fan, as it's mostly focused on gameplay and expands it a good amount. Plus it's just cool to see Racoon City falling into pieces beign overun by zombies. But if you only really played RE games for the cool story then forget about it. I am persoally waiting for the price to drop before I buy it, I hardly ever get anything at $50.
