Resident Evil Outbreak File #2

"If you love File 1, then you will love this one!"

Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 is a continuation of Resident Evil Outbreak. File 2 still have the same 8 original main characters from Outbreak but different scenarios and different story line.

Characters: 9 out of 10
Characters are still the same like the last one but you still get new costume NPCs by beating some scenarios. You can also buy a boss costume after beating him in one of the scenario. Characters abilities and weaknesses can make the game difficulty harder or easier, and it also can make the game faster or slower than it supposed to.

Gameplay: 9 out of 10
In this File 2 version, you are now able to shoot and walk at the same so its easy to avoid enemies. This ability makes it easier to shoot birds or taller enemies. There are also new things in File 2 such as some characters doesn't get along with another which can be difficult during the game if both of you won't cooperative. Enemies are also much tougher, faster, smarter, scarier, and nastier. If you are crawling on the ground in danger, unlike File 1, in File 2 now you can pick up recovery items off the ground to get you back on your feet.

Story line: 8 out of 10
You can learn a lot more about the characters background by playing as them or you can read files about them. Alyssa Ashcroft for example are good to use during Flashback scenario because you get to learn about her past. Like in all Outbreak saga, you as the player can choose what will happen to the characters ending.

Controls: 10 out of 10
Its pretty much easy to shoot flying objects or bosses or enemies in File 2. There are still lags during online mode. Just like other Resident Evil games, hold R1 and press Action Button to unleash the bullets at the enemies. Unlike File 1, the Square button on File 2 are to open the map and its permanent.

Overall: 9 out of 10
If you love Resident Evil Outbreak File 1, then I promise that you will love this game.
