Played it some more just now and getting the full game is highly unlikely after this. It's the equivalent of the Treyarch versions of Call of Duty, none of the Resi 4 team are involved in RE5 and it shows, badly. The "zombies" aren't disturbing or menacing, there's none of the sense of imposing dread of, say, the village scene from RE4 here. It would be vaguely OK if the bastard co-op AI would stop walking in front of the zombies with her back to them and seemingly wasting health and ammo deliberately. This will make your piss boil, it's infuriating. Ammo rationing and distribution duties between you and the AI in the middle of a firefight? Fuck off, Capcom.
The aspect ratio fields weirdly cramped, like the game is designed for 4:3 (probably was when they started it actually) - the characters are too big, move slowly, and obscure the view. The screen always feels overcrowded and hectic, but not in a good zombie panic way, it's like a 150% zoom.
Controls absolutely suck after the Wii version. Enough said.
Graphics look like a first gen 360 game, too heavy on the glare and shiny textures.
Sound effects are ripped straight from RE4.
Imagine a shit cover version of RE4 with game breaking co-op added to the mix.
