Was curious as to metacritic scores, and saw that G4TV had given RE5 the worst score. I went on to read the review -
http://g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1944/Resident-Evil-5-Review.html
In the synopsis, Adam states:
"Alright this review has been decidedly cranky-pants so it is worth reiterating that the game has its high points, especially the astonishing visuals and the effectiveness of co-op play. Resident Evil 5 is mired in poor design decisions that drag down the experience and render single-player campaign a tedious exercise in working around the game. It’s frustrating to see a game that I so looked forward to playing and carried with it such potential, sabotage itself in so many ways. Compared against the ambition of games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Assassin’s Creed; Resident Evil 5 seems timid, unwilling to move out of its comfort zone. It’s a shame."
I'm wondering how many people might be turned off. There's also a review on a much less relevant USA Today, which blasts the controls for RE5. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/03/64022497/1
Im still waiting on a PC version for this game, and hoping they allow mouse support, unlike RE4 for the PC.
