I got a chance to play Resident Evil 5 two nights ago, and I was a little put off. Its a beautiful looking game, I really love the aesthetic but I can't feel that they could have updated the controls a bit more to fit the western audience. Sure it feels better than RE4, but its still clunky.
Perhaps, like RE4, this will just take a little getting used to... but as of this moment, I'm not feeling it.
