The Outfit Preview @ Gamecloud

Posted in The Outfit by on February 23rd, 2006

Ohhhh Beta Preview of The Outfit up at Gamecloud. They don’t cover the Multiplayer, just the Single player, and they have apparently nothing but good to say about it.

Let’s face it, Steven Spielberg’s film Saving Private Ryan was a direct influence on the Medal of Honor series and indirectly inspired other WWII shooters. The differences in The Outfit, however, are apparently immediately when you play the initial pre-rendered cut scene. No serious narration and no fauve newsreel footage here. The Outfit is pure comic book and pulp fiction action as you are introduced to the three main US Army characters.(JD Tyler, Tommy Mac, and Deuce Williams) blowing up stuff, including lots of Nazis. The storyline is pure comic book as well as the three heroes are tracking an evil Nazi officer who likes to burn women and children in churches. Naturally he’s going down via this WWII version of The A-Team. Overall it was nice to be able to play a WWII game and not be hit over the head with how serious everything is.

Review here. Enjoy!
