I'll agree it wasn't what I expected when I first bought it, but I really warmed up to the game fast. I have all three versions and have beat each a few times. GCN at around 17+. I was doing speed runs.I was initially extremely let down by the game and didn't even finish it until they ported it to Wii.
My main problems stemmed from the fact that it is barely recognizable as a Resident Evil game, which used to be one of my favorite franchises around. It was almost never scary in the least. It was ridiculously easy and Leon is more like some kind of Rambo baddass.
It's a fun game though, I gotta admit. Especially the wii version, with the IR aiming.But it's just...not Resident Evil. I'm kinda mad at it just because it changed the series to something completely different.
What's your thoughts on RE5?
