Retro Goodness
I bought this game when it was first released back in 2001 at our local Software Etc. It came in a simple small cardboard box, had decent artwork on the cover (if a little vague), and was published here in the USA as just plain "Codename: Outbreak" by Virgin Interactive as part of their short-lived "Anytime Anywhere 20 Bucks" series. The game came in a cheap (but unique) plastic case inside the box, with nothing else. No paper manual, or warranty card or anything. Just the CD in the case in the box, for $19.99. This was the FPS of that series (which I believe only ever contained three other games from different genres. I had no idea who GSC Game World was at the time, little realizing that they would go on to create quite possibly my favorite FPS series ever. This ran really well, and I had a lot of fun with it. It was nothing groundbreaking, but plenty interesting enough to hold my attention the whole way through. I finished it pretty quickly (in a few sittings), but it was a pretty long game by today's standards. If you go into this expecting modern graphics, you are visiting the wrong website. However, I feel that the graphics hold up pretty well, all things considered. Then again, I am pretty easy to please when it comes to graphics. I am more concerned with atmosphere and level design. The former is great, and the latter is just good. The AI was not stellar, but it got the job done, and I had a blast with this game overall. Accept this game on its own terms, and in the spirit of the times, and I believe that you will have as much fun as I did. But again, if you are in no way nostalgic, you might want to stick with newer games. However, I believe most of us here at gog do have a place in our hearts for games like this. Nostalgia is one of the main reasons I'm here, so this game fits in nicely with my gog collection. I hope you can manage to enjoy it as much as I did.
