Classic Cake vs eating it error, basically. The way the zombies (I know they aren't zombies.. but they are really, aren't they?) seem to pause between attacks seems like they know you are going to have trouble turning around, reloading and aiming and are giving you a sporting chance. Either that or its just clunky AI. Yes, the controls feel as though Capcom have tried to mimic the original Resi controls while still trying to turn the game into more of an actioner.

If your lucky you'll manage to stop 2 or 3 infected with a single pistol clip, which only leaves another 20 chasing you whilst you run around looking for ammo. Switching weapons through the dumb inventory system is absolute suicide. Resident Evil fans and those not expecting smooth action and playability will probably be well-in here, but new-comers will be running back to CoD, Gears and/or Resistence, before the second kneck bite lands. Shame, it looks 'bloody' great, AsciiSmoke Tried this last night, awful clunky controls.
