Third-person action videogames have done a lot of remodelling on the current-generation without actually offering much in the way of progression. Specifically the subset dedicated to shooting; when Gears of War proved that the time had come to standardise a few mechanics every other title simply followed its lead. There’s been the odd bit of initiative here-and-there of course, but by-and-large the conventions of the genre are the same now as they were six years ago. Scourge: Outbreak.
Scourge: Outbreak debuted on Xbox 360 a decade ago and is still playable on modern consoles, but is it worth your time?
Cubed3:
"Imitation is the best form of flattery, but only when done right, and Scourge: Outbreak fails at doing so. It tries so hard to look similar to triple-A series giants like Gears of War, Crysis, and Mass Effect, but the resemblance is superficial at best. There's not a single aspect left unflawed, yet the worst thing about this game is how extremely average it is. Furthermore, this is actually supposed to be a vastly superior, upgraded version of The Scourge Project, a statement that raises the inevitable question of just how much worse was the original, and is this PS3 version any better than the terrible PC iteration?"
