"A late-in-development build of Resident Evil Outbreak shambled into our office today, and we had a chance to put the game through its preliminary paces. Outbreak is the online sequel to the classic survival horror franchise that takes place in an episodic fashion. The game is broken up into short scenarios that place you and up to three other unfortunate individuals in Resident Evil-style situations so that you can fend for yourselves as you try to save your own necks. There's no overarching storyline, as found in the other RE games. Instead, Outbreak is set up only for quick play sessions with other people."
