Outfit for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

If you haven't heard anything else about this game, then you need to know one major point first: This is NOT a serious WW2 game. It wasn't meant to be. It's mindless fun with a WW2 wrap. The characters are SUPPOSE to be dumb movie-cliches and what not to keep the game from being too serious. A third person shooter at it's core, you can also lead a squad, enter/exit any vehicle, & purchase more equipment/vehicles via the 'destruction on demand' menu. The 'destruction on demand' menu/purchase system is similar to Mercenaries on Xbox(need a jeep? In 2 button presses, one drops from the sky right at your feet. Need reinforcement? Ditto). Actually, the entire game feels like Mercenaries in WW2. The only difference is the Outfit is not a 'sandbox' game. You have a clear path, and must take over certain checkpoints along this path. Rinse, repeat. The game will get monotous after a while, as you can run and gun through everything. The AI is a bit retarded too (Nazis just stand there while my halftrack rolls over them...then my own men just happen to jump in front of my halftrack and die too. Der). I wouldn't own this game, but I will rent it until I beat it. After long sessions of Elder Scrolls or Tomb Raider, it's a nice little diversion and should be taken in small chunks. I have not tried the online mode yet.
