Suit up soldier theres a " FUN " war to be won....
The Outfit is a best described as a team based action strategy game. You start off by choosing a character, each has different health levels, speed ratings, weapons, troop commands ect. When you spawn you will also have 4 troops with you. You head out into battle begin killing and destroying the enemy and as you do this you will earn FU's (Field Units). You spend field units to buy gun emplacments, artillary cannons, machine gun nests, various vehicals including jeeps, tanks, half tracks and other weapons of mass destruction. This is all very well done and easy to place on the battlefield. The action is fun, frantic and addictive. Especially online but be sure to choose players with a good connection to you, indicated by and orange or green dot next to their name. also try to keep the amount of players in the match to three per side. Once everyone starts placing there troops things can get pretty hectic and it can lead to some lag but dont let that keep you away, the online multiplayer is alot of fun. The single player game is also fun and you will want to complete the games story mode, it's around 10-15 hours and you can replay the missions to unlock as many medals as you can. There isnt really anything else on the system quite like The Outfit and i mean that in a good way. Other than the framerate issues the graphics are the only gripe i have with this game,it's really a mixed bag. Some things look good and others not so much, some textures and character models make you want to write hate mail to the developers but some things like the vehicals, planes dropping supplies, lighting, water and sound design (other than the repetive one liners) are done quite well. You will overlook its faults once the action starts anyway I just hope the Outfit 2 will improve where it is needed. This game is priced at around $40 "New" and I have enjoyed it for hours and hours. If your only going to play the single player missions just rent it but for those with Xbox live its a keeperRead full review...
"Next gen" Mercenaries.
A first generation game on the Xbox 360. Not that there is anything wrong with that it just seems that sometimes it was either through the rushing from the publisher or just bad design choices but overall I really do enjoy this game for what it is.
You may be wondering what it is--it really boils down to a linear, more tactical version of Mercenaries (thanks to what they call "Destruction on Demand"). Basically, you are sent through individual missions which are very linear in that you will walk along a path and encounter objectives which usually just involve capturing a building or destroying something, but the way in which you do this is through the placement of armor, gun emplacements and strategic strikes (air and artillery). The game really shines when you get to the areas where the game because a little more free-form where you have options in where you want to go, because this is where you have to capture an area and then make sure that you put enough men and weapons there to hold it, which can get really crazy if they are throwing a lot of stuff at you.
Past the singleplayer game, the multiplayer plays out just like my favorite moments in singeplayer. It's an all out war where battlelines are built and each person has to either build the bigger front line or place their stuff where it counts, all at the same time managing to maneuver to strategic points to gather more money (or FUs as they are in the game) to buy more weapons for their army. It really becomes more a sandbox game in multiplayer which is what the game should've been all along.
There are a few negatives worth mentioning, such as what I said earlier where the game should really open up more and allow the player to really have to think about where they want to put their stuff. Next, the graphics cannot really compare to most of the next generation games, they are just really sub par, though the cutscenes are much better for the most part. Finally, the vehicle controls will drive you crazy because the controls limit you to using only the left joystick as steering. Whoever thought of that must have the patience of a god, because for me, everytime I ended up in a corner it took me at least a minute to get out, which is great when I have half the SS firing down on me.
Overall this game isn't going to change the world, but if you want a game that overall could be described as decent, but fun, and you loved the game Mercenaries, then this is probably for you.Read full review...
Had it for a year and just put it in..great game!!!!
Well, just as my title says, I have had this for about a year. I got it relatively cheap off of Ebay. The multiplayer is awesome. No one is ever online now (because of other games), so I can not rate the online. It is cool to call in reinforcements, vehicles, and take over bases. You can earn some easy achievements by doing the "side missions" If you don't have this and want a fun game that will last hours (I have played 5 boards and been playing for about 2 hours a board) this will hold you over. Truly a unique and good multiplayer game.Read full review...
The Outfit (XBOX 360) Review
You play as one of 3 different specialists, fighting during WWII. This is the first XBOX 360 Game that I played and was really impressed. But since then, I've played several others, I can say the graphics are not comparable to some of the other 360 Games.
The controls took some getting used to. I enjoyed the story line and was pleased that it took a while to actually finish the game. I am the only one here that fininshed it and enjoyed it. Everyone else here became quickly bored with it. It combines the shooting aspect with a lot of strategy. I prefer to have a more strategy type game then just running thru shooting all the bad guys and game over.
I purchased my game used for under $20 and it was worth it but I wouldn't pay anymore than that for it.Read full review...
A must have for"Mercenaries"and"Freedom Figthers" fans
This peculiar game has a unique style of gameplay similar to "Mercenaries",The Outfit delivers an awesome third person shooter, the touch of strategy makes it's difference between other WWII games, the game allows players to chose from the american or german army, each with 3 "heroes" which comand a team of soldiers trough an epic campaing, the level of destruction is way much better than "Mercenaries", though, it doesn't really define what "next gen" should be the graphics are pretty good, the level of replay value is high because of it's extraodinary multiplayer modes and online play, the sound effects are what you expect from a good shooter, the soundtrack may not please everyone but that is why there is an option of changing the music in the xbox360 menu. Tought not perfect is the closest to an strategy game you can find on the xbox360 until "Lord of the Rings: Battle For midle earth 2"comes out.
Graphics: 7
Gameplay: 8
Sound: 8
Multiplayer: 8 (If you have acces to xbox live)

looking for a great co-op game?
older Xbox 360 game with fair graphics. GAMEPLAY is so much fun. if you are looking for co-op to play with a friend, this game is where it's at! WW2 story with tons of weapons to choose from. the graphics are a bit cartoony but everything else is great! it is 3rd person and co-op. as long as one of you stays alive, the other will continue to respawn but at the beginning of the level. this can be annoying but fun for the player who stayed alive at the same time because the one respawning is running as fast as he can to reinforce the other player while they are getting shot at from every angle! it makes for a fun/intense gameplay. highly recommended for the price!Read full review...
The Outfit Wants YOU!.......TO PLAY THIS
This game is completely diff from many games out there. Most are your a guy grab a gun and shoot. This game takes strategy. You must capture places on the map and you receive points to air drop tanks, reinforcements, trucks, gunners and tons more. The controls are not great for the vehicles but htey are not awful i have had times where it takes forever for it to turn while your being shot at. I kinda did not like how its unlimited ammo because a rocket launcherr and machine gun aree completely diff. Multiplayer is where it shines. It is so much fun capturing and defending your bases. All in All a pretty decent gameRead full review...
Fun play with decent graphics
3rd person shooter with decent graphics and good gameplay. Not a short game. Took me about 3 weekends, playing for about 4-5 hours each day to finish.
Liked the idea of being able to buy vehicles, airstrikes, reinforcements and other weapons as you played. The graphics for the 360 looked like regular XBOX graphics and the cut movies looked blocky and sortof PS2 type. The vehicles looked good, but took some time to get the hang of driving. If backed up against a wall or cliff difficult to see. You have squad commands, if I could have remembered to use, seem to help out especially if you are on foot and up against an armored vehicle.
Manual gives you 6 different characters you could play with, but I was only able to use 4. Each has 2 different weapons and different squad commands.
If you can get this game for under $15 I would recommend it.Read full review...
suprise super hit with foul language!!!!
this game here is a silent sleeper hit for me. I didn't expect much from it at all and picked it up for really cheap. turns out it is a whole heck of alot better than most of the $60 games i buy all the time. gameplay is smooth and cool to watch. it may be overly difficult for the novice gamer. i'm not sure how easy the easy level is. i always play my games on the hardest level and this one is proving a good challenge. though people have downed it for not enough levels, i have found myself spending about 2 hours on each one!!! grat game, a recommended buy!!Read full review...
Very good Multiplayer
I bought this game mostly because I liked the demo which was multiplayer only.
It's a 3rd person WW2 action strategy game..
It is exrememly fun and strategic. One thing I really like like about it is that you must upgrade your weapons while you play online. So it's a pretty fun and rewarding challenge beating others who have better weapons than you.
I also love that you can destroy EVERYTHING on the map.
Some advice:
Give it some time, most people don't really like it at first, as they do not understand the strategy concept of the game. It is hard to win initially, but once you put in your time as a newb you will really start to think it's fun, that will progress to addiction.
Don't try to play this game like it is Halo. It's not a deathmatch.
You must strategically place your weaponry and assist in the fighting.
The graphics aren't the best, but their good if you utlize High Def.
It's also not a true to form simulation. It's designed for strategy and fun.
It is very addicting if you are competitive. And after renting it 2 months straight I bought it to save money.
One of the best parts about multiplayer is there really isn't just one best strategy to win. The game designers kind of set the game up like paper rock scissors, one type of strategy will beat another. You can't just up and commit to one battle strategy altogether because there is a way to defeat it.
You can play coop with a friend online which is fun as well.
Gameplay control could be a little better. It's hard to be real precise and that can be aggrivating, but it's the same for all so it works out.
If you are used to driving Halo vehicles they do drive differently. That takes a little while to overcome, but is fine once you do.
If you game online, it's definitly worth purchasing.Read full review...
