Manufacturer's Description
THQ and Relic Entertainment take explosive World War II combat to the next generation in an all-new 3rd Person Action Game. Combining intense squad-based combat with the freedom of total destruction, The Outfit takes players behind enemy lines, battling the Nazi War Machine through a variety of combat missions.

Choose from three playable squad leaders each with their own skills and abilities, as you lead a squad of battle-forged soldiers on missions ranging from reconnaissance and rescue to search and destroy. With interactive and fully destructible environments, you have the freedom to shoot, blow up or demolish anything in your path. As you complete mission objectives, you'll gain action points that can be used to order Destruction on Demand air-dropped into the action at any time. With Destruction On Demand (D.O.D.) you can order in everything from tanks, jeeps, half-tracks and other combat vehicles to machinegun nests and anti-tank emplacements, or call in for squad reinforcements, air-strikes or artillery strikes. Experience the cinematic intensity of WWII combat through 12 epic Single-player missions or go online for a variety of Multiplayer modes, including Co-Op and Versus. With 720p HD; 16:9 Widescreen and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound The Outfit takes full advantage of Xbox 360's High Definition gaming experience.

Customer Reviews

Very addictive
Have just ordered the Game on the basis of the demo.

Originally puzzled why people have rated this as poor. Must admit it took me a little while to get into it, but once I'd learn't the controls, I was totally addicted to the gameplay.

It involves strategy and manic arcade action and this is implemented in a unique and straight forward way. I think the Graphics are good and certainly not last Gen considering what is going on on the screen all at the same time.

I think you need to remember that this is not providing the same realism as titles such as Call of Duty 2, but is more towards a Cartoon look which is complimented by really funny characters.

As of late, I've been playing this online more than any other Game. Go buy it !! (or try the demo)

Good - but don't expect a 3rd person shooter.
Despite what the other reviews might suggest to you - this isn't a 3rd person shooter. Much of the frustration that I imagine occurs from people randomly buying this is that they don't get that.

This is a tactical game played from a 3rd person p.o.v.. So it rewards things like setting up appropriate defences, initiative and learning the strengths of the characters (loosely all 3 characters have different attributes and weapons which include things like speed and purchasing objects). Played as a tactical game its lots of fun. You influence the battlefield by what you stratergize (e.g. call in airstrike to destroy that emplacement there, or use the points (their only resource, gained from killing people or getting your arse kicked) to call in a jeep to circle behind? You can influence the battle, but you cannot expect (ala mercenaries) to take an army on by yourself and win.

It is a good game - though not what you immediately expect. The singleplayer is frankly linear and grindable (you never actually die, just constantly respawn). Enjoyable for an hour or two but limited unless you gotta get all the acheivements.

Multiplayer varies completely on your connection and the standard of you and your opponents. good connection = sweet game. oh so sweet, especially with 6 players. Basically each player respawns with 4 soldiers every time they die. you also call down emplacements which are manned by soldiers. These soldiers are independent of you and run their own ai. depending on how you're playing, its possible to have spawned 4 soldiers, plus how ever many guns you've placed in the map, plus any soldiers left alive from your previous death = a lot, possibly over ten. multiply this by 6 and you realise why there's a problem with multiplayer lag and performance.

Smaller 1vs1 or 2vs2 games are more playable and lots of fun - outmanouvering your opponent to strike the death blow is tremendous fun and there are few issues with lag.

One major problem (acknowledged by the developers) is that the vehicles have really poor control. This didn't bother me too much, but it is frustrating. Oh and water kills you. bad bad bad idea.

Not Bad
I don't think the game is as bad as the other rewiers are saying!!

The game play is pretty much good
The Graphics are good
On-line gaming is allot of fun

My advise is to rent the game first and see if you like it

woooo!
