mjo011 - it's Resident Evil... a survival horror series. If they wanted to make a shooter make a new IP... its fair to critique that aspect.

It used to be a survival horror series. It's not anymore. Critiquing a game, movie, CD or whatever for what it is not is never fair.

I do find it very strange though, that Capcom can find room for light gun games and squad based shooters within the franchise - but not survival horror games.

I agree with you.  Going into any game with expectations and assumptions is grounds for me to ignore a review.  I see it a lot, a reviewer says that they got something different from previous games, then proceeds to trash it based on that comparison.  A reviewer should definitely note the differences, but the actual review should be of -that particular game-, not of previous games in the franchise.
