I think you're right...Resident Evil lost much of it's Evil and is becoming a shooter game.
But it's pretty much fun. I love Resident Evil 5...and I like Sheva (my friend and I play as a team and I'm Sheva so she can't suck...I'm just too good!
)...there are scary moments as well but the setting sometimes looks like an Indiana Jones movie...I'd prefer the old settings like you had in Resident Evil Outbreak for example...
And the story's so weird sometimes...
By the way: Wesker sucks...he looks gay....(I'm sorry..doesn't mean that I dislike gay....)
