Resident Evil 5 may be a good action game. However, Resident Evil fans would probably have the following problems with it.
Co-op makes the action for fun, but takes away from the survival horror aspect.
Game is too open, space wise, and spends to much time in daylight.
Game is not scary.
Game does not emphasize ammo conservation (compared to the original).
Resident Evil 4 was a interesting deviation from the original RE formula. Many fans seemed to like it, knowing that it wasn't a true RE game and wasn't as scary because of it. At this point, RE5 should just be called a different series.
