It sounds like the people in this thread bashing the game have never played a Resident Evil (or survival-horror) game before. This isn't an action game, it's not an FPS and it's not GOW. It doesn't let you shoot and run because it takes most of the challenge out of the game and if you could shoot and run it would become a run-of-the-mill modern action shooter. You are supposed to be put in tight spots and tight situations that you may not come out of, with limited ammo.

How easy would games like this be if you could shoot and run? You may never take damage if that was the case.

And in response to the guy saying that it is getting a lot of negative reviews, it's holding above 85% review average on game rankings.com.

If you are an xbox player that isn't well versed in this kind of game and are looking for yet another action shooter, this game probably isn't for you. If you know what to expect and have played Resident Evils and survival horror games before, this is your weekend.
