THQ today announced that The Outfit, from critically acclaimed internal studio Relic Entertainment, has shipped for the Xbox 360. Combining explosive squad-based combat, the freedom of total destruction and an over-the-top attitude to bring a thrilling new gaming experience to the World War II genre, The Outfit recently set the standard for next generation online gaming as the first Xbox 360 title to offer a pre-launch online multiplayer demo via Xbox Live online game service. More than 200,000 consumers downloaded the demo during the first week with over one million total games played, according to Xbox Live Marketplace data. Gamers can now purchase the complete game, which includes both an intense single player campaign and a robust multiplayer experience, for a suggested retail price of $59.99. "Relic Entertainment has created an innovative, next generation experience that truly pushes the Xbox 360 hardware to its limits, giving players the freedom to destroy everything in sight, call in Destruction on Demand at a moment's notice and have hundreds of units battling it out simultaneously," said Brad Carraway, director of global brand marketing, THQ. "The critical and consumer anticipation for The Outfit has been tremendous and exemplifies the game's groundbreaking originality and intense multiplayer action, which will give gamers something the World War II genre has never seen before." "The Outfit puts players in the shoes of three allied heroes who are faster, stronger and more bad-ass than your every day soldier," said Ron Moravek, vice president, THQ, General Manager, Relic Entertainment. "Just when players realize how explosive, over-the-top and truly fun the game is they'll be introduced to three axis leaders in what we believe will be one of the most exciting multiplayer experiences ever." The Outfit allows gamers to choose from three playable squad leaders -- each with their own unique skills and abilities, as they lead a squad of soldiers behind enemy lines to battle the Nazi war machine. With interactive and fully destructible environments, players have the freedom to shoot, blow up or demolish anything in their path. As players complete mission objectives, they'll gain field units (FUs) that can be used to order "Destruction on Demand" -- air-dropped into the action at any time. Items available for purchase include tanks, half-tracks and other combat vehicles, machinegun nests and anti-tank emplacements, squad reinforcements, air strikes and artillery strikes. The cinematic intensity of WWII combat can be experienced through 12 epic single-player missions or online through a variety of Multiplayer modes, pitting the Allies against the Axis, with three playable Axis leaders in addition to the Allied heroes. 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. The Outfit has received high scores in both enthusiast and mainstream publications, reflecting the growing anticipation surrounding the title: "A fascinating look into the future of online gaming ... a startlingly forward-looking title that is one of the most original we've seen in years." - Game Pro -- 4.5 out of 5

Just HorribleXtrm L1481L1TY 03.14.2006 13:26 From what I've played on the Outfit demo....This game is an embarrassment to the Xbox 360! This game is not even worth a "Rent", Nuff said. 6 -
EUROGAMER TRASHES GRAW !!!Unregistered - TRUTH SAYER 03.14.2006 13:28 ATTENTION G.R.A.W. FANS…………… Two shameful ratings have befallen our beloved GRAW. Eurogamer (70%) & Yahoo (80%) ….I mean honestly, what were they thinking? See the lies here: www.gametab.com/xbox360/t… 7 -
Unregistered - Kingy 03.14.2006 13:50 This game is great, defo buying this one. You noobs don't know squat. 8 -
Save your MoneyUnregistered - Fade To Black 03.14.2006 13:53 Get GRAW, FN3, or Burnout Revenge. This game should be priced at a budget title. I'll be damned if i pay $60 for a game this weak. 9 -
StrategyUnregistered - bleh 03.14.2006 14:03 This game is based on strategy and thinking and is definitely for people who play rpg and strategy games. If, on the other hand, you're a fps type who thinks Halo and GRAW is the shizznit, then walk away. Recognize the difference before you comment and sound like a fool. 10 -
#9Unregistered - asdf 03.14.2006 14:27 yah because you know GRAW doesnt require any strategy (sarcasim) 11 -
Enough shooting games i think.Unregistered - ffdggjhgmhgdktdhygm 03.14.2006 14:47 Instead of the outfit they should have called it Butnaked. because its bare. 12 -
Did they pay someone to make this???Unregistered - o0o Gully o0o 03.14.2006 15:00 If i was given the game for free i would return it. Worst game on the 360!!! 13 -
The Worst game on 360.Unregistered - James 03.14.2006 15:09 Just horrible. 14 -
Crack FitUnregistered - loser 03.14.2006 15:19 Is this game worse then Perfect dark zero?????....nahhhhh tell me it isnt 15 -
asdf 03.14.2006 15:26 couldn't possibly be worse than, oh, Madden, FIFA RTWC, NBA Live... 16 -
CRAPUnregistered - cdog 03.14.2006 16:16 I can't stand when these game developers push this garbage to try and make a quick buck. This game got a 6.7 out of 10, on gamespot.com, the only site that rates games accurately. Anybody that actually thinks this is a good game needs to stick with sony, who's developers are constantly pumping garbage games. 17 -
It's Called an Opinion and I don't give a F*ck about yours!Unregistered - GEV1L 03.14.2006 16:48 All of the people b!tching about this game can blow me. For the people that are trying to compare this to GRAW: you are sad. This game is not the greatest game I've ever played(Diablo 2 for PC) but it is a lot better than anyone is giving it credit for. Everyone is going on about how it is the worst x360 game right now, well can you make anything better? Though not or else you wouldnt be on here b!tching. Just because some people like this style of game doesnt mean they should go back to sony, hell that is pretty pathetic to say, but it just shows you character now doesnt it? Remember a little thing called innovation in games? You all b!tch about how there is not enough of it in games but when something different comes along you all b!tch about how it is not as "good" ie not like another game. Really dig out whatever has got your panties in a bunch and stop acting like kunts. I bet alot of those who say this game sucks are the one halo fanatics who think that halo is the second coming. It is one thing to like a game or not but all of you are acting like it is an insuld for this game to be on x360. 18 -
THANK YOU #17Unregistered - GRAW SAWED HALO 03.14.2006 17:10 thank you #17 19 -

Post #17 doesn't even have a clue. Your DumbUnregistered - James 03.14.2006 17:16 Innovation is fine but this game is garbage. Should never even be released. Not even worth the two cents the blank dvd its costs them to make. 21 -
WORST GAME OUT FOR XBOX 360Unregistered - Worstgame out 03.14.2006 17:17 This game actually makes EA look someward good. EA still blows but this game blows more 22 -

Outfit HALO killer LOLZUnregistered - haloblowscomparedtotheoutfit 03.14.2006 17:41 This game will make halo look like my used toilet paper enough said. 25 -
Give it another shot!Unregistered - Dom 03.14.2006 19:30 To all you guys who think this game sux give it another shot play it for awhile and you will really love it. At first i thought it was pretty crappy but then i started to get into it and figured out how to really play (since the demo had no tutorial and doesnt really tell you how to take over locations and what they do once you capture them) I have quite of few 360 games (14) and out all of them I enjoy this games online the most. Just play the demo a few more times figure things out then go buy it and i guarantee you will love it. 26 -
No! Dont give it another shot!Unregistered - nef 03.14.2006 20:03 If your spoutin off at the mouth because you think the game is garbage, stay away. Ive had enough of the whiney b*tches on Live while playing Halo2. Really just go, never look back and tell all your little like minded internet buddies that the game sucks so they dont buy it ... especially (and I cannot stress this enough) if they have a XBL Gold account and a mic that works. Please, let the people that like the RTS influence of the game enjoy the game without having to hear the ADHD diagnosed and yet heavily undermedicated youth and adults complain on Live. 27 -

HALO DEMOLISHES THIS GAME. you are just a ps3 f@gboy. this game looks like the dumps. this game might just be the worst to date for the 360. NUFF SAID! 29 -
#27 Blazing angels on Amazon states out of stock.Unregistered - a 03.14.2006 23:04 Thanks for nothing 30 -
#10Unregistered - bleh 03.15.2006 05:07 you're absolutely right. it doesn't require strategy. i am glad you agree. 31 -
Unregistered - Ken Katuragi 03.15.2006 06:30 This piece of SH!T should be put out in the garbage bin!!! 32 -
VERY BAD GAMEUnregistered - eric 03.15.2006 08:37 PLAYED THE DEMO AND IT SUCKS ILL BUY THE GAME AND BRAKE IT JUS TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM PLAYING IT 33 -
#28Unregistered - halomediocre 03.15.2006 09:38 um first of all get over yourself psf@gboy interesting why cause I don't like Halo. It was an average game at best. I guess you can't like Xbox if you don't like Halo right prick? And if you weren't that stupid you would notice I have LOLZ in the title of my comment ever hear of sarcasm you insignificant piece of trash. You just proved your a fanboy and nothing worse than a moron who dedicates his life to bashing others thoughts or choices of others. I guess if someone doesn't agree with your comment you must be a SONY fan or retarded. Nice logic you will go far in life with that. Unlike you I have the 360 now and will get the PS3 why? Cause I can and Will so I can have the Ultimate gaming experience. I will also look at the Rev as well. So go stroke yourself to Halo your GOD. While I have bigger and better games to get and play. Gears of War I bet will be better than Halo as well, GRAW is better than Halo. So just accept the fact that Halo was good back then and that video games evolve and yes There will be a better game than Halo. What are you hoping there will be 50 Halo's in the series. They should have stopped with Halo CE, Halo 2 was rushed and ruined the whole thing. Yes I will get Halo 3 when it comes out cause I hope since it is on the 360 they can come up with something innovative with all the power the 360 has. But to hold every game to the Halo standard is ignorant. 34 -
Wow, about 99.5% of the comments here dont even own the gameUnregistered - somedude 03.15.2006 10:32 Wow, all I have to say is posting opinions of the "demo" is utterly retarted and very unreliable. About all the people that say this game is garbage blah blah have probably not even played the damn game and are comparing it to games that are -_-king completely different. WTF!!! comparing it to GRAW are you -_-ing stupid?! Totally different games and aimed for totally different tastes! The Outfit is not an overdramatic and realistic WWII game, its freakin about blowing everything up and having fun rather than comparing it to Call of duty or GRAW. YES GRAW IS AWESOME! Everyone does have the right to their opinion, but if you havent played the damn game (not the demo) for gawd sake STFU! Played the demo = sucked. Bought the game = -_-ing awesome! Me and a friend went deathmatch at it for 3 hours in splitscreen. Was freaking spetacular. Coop story mode was great too! 35 -
Its all about personal tasteSpunkmeyer43 03.15.2006 11:58 WHilst you can't really compare the likes of Ghost recon to this in terms of gameplay because they are very different, you can in terms of quality. Ghost recon is fantastic the reviews are nearly all great and most people are going crazy for it. I have only played the demo of the outfit and seen as demos are there to make you buy the game it certainly didn't have that effect on me, i was quickly bored and unimpressed by the visuals. I then proceeded to gamespot and saw the reviews were pap!!! http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/theoutfit/index.html?q=outfit Why people are getting so defensive of this is beyond me but each to there own, i will stick with graw and fight night for now! 36 -
Play it more then once!Unregistered - Digi 03.15.2006 12:37 I bet most of the people who said this game was crap played the demp once and decided that it sucked. STUPID! Why in the hell do you think they play games for hours upon hours....too REVIEW them. Not play it or ten mintutes and say oh this "sucks". The first time I played it it didn't seem like much to me neither...I stuck with it and after bout 3 or 4 mathces into the demo and I ws hooked. The on the fly stratgy, placing turrets on high ground for the advantage, dropin down some anti tank in a ideal spot( in my mind anyway ) IT IS SO MUCH FREAKIN FUN tryin to outwit and manuver your oppents. Holdin strong points, takin out there radio tower, suppressing fire....It ALL RULES. So anybody who says this games sucks U ARE THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY GOD DAMM FPS's...BRING ON THE OUTFIT BABY....GREAT JOB GUYS!!! 37 -

Wow...Unregistered - BABOON 03.16.2006 00:54 You guys are giving this game way too much attention. It's a mediocre game at best, and the only reason it's getting so much attention is because there arent really that many games out for the 360 yet... don't waste your money on this simply because there arent many other options.... Blazing Angels looks like it'll be a hell of alot better and thats comin out soon. Add Comment |
