Seeing all the complaints about this, I wonder if most people out there ever played any other Resident Evil game? Its too bad that horrid controls is one of the series' staples. I've played all the old RE games, but missed 4 somehow. This demo was so nostalgic feeling that I almost expected there to be a load time when I told it to open the door (thankfully those have been removed). The thing that killed the nostalgia for me is the buddy system. If I die, she just comes over and saves me. How is that survival horror? I said I'm a fan, and I loved the old games, but Resident Evil 5 is not an old game and its not a remake (stupid Bionic Commando Rearmed). I predict this game will sell well at first, but drop quick in price because many people will not like it. That is when I'll buy it.
