Yeah, the reviews for this game really bug me.
Especially the complaints that it's not enough of a Resident Evil game.
It'd be fine if RE4 got the same kind of criticism, but it didn't. RE4 received endless praise for it's new direction. This is what RE is now. Has been since 2005. Deal with it.
I'd say that this game is more Resident Evil than RE4 anyway, if only because it actually ties into the original storyline. That, and it's much scarier than RE4 (almost shit my pants while wading through those crocodile infested waters for the first time).
