Big Picture:

Resident Evil 4 wii edition had great controls.  Since that point, for some reason no developer wants to replicate such an effective control scheme into a game.

In walks EA with a franchise that already uses the over-the-shoulder gunplay in a horror setting.  Seems like the perfect match. Instead EA decides to bring a more 'casual', 'wii-friendly' experience.  Problem was, plenty of casual on-rail games had already come out, each with moderate reviews.  In a library full of railed shooters an RE4esque game would have been huge. That's my initial beef with the game. I'm sure you've heard this before.

Ironically Capcom is also guiltly of this. I remember interviews from what I think one of the producers of Umbrella Chronicles claiming the game was suppose to play similar to the Resident Evil 4 but Capcom suits thought a rail shooter would go over better with the Wii Audience. (Despite Resident Evil 4 already being quite a success.)

Eariler today I saw on the hot forum topics titles "Capcom surpised by sales growth Move generated for RE:5" or something. It feel's like companies go out of thier way to ignore the Wii. =P
