RE5 (Hands-On)

Ok I've just stopped in the middle of reading a Hands-On review of Resident Evil 5 (http://www.totalvideogames.com/articles/GC08_-_Resident_Evil_5_Hands_On_13688.htm), and I just want to pull a few extracts.

"When you're low on ammo she'll be right there to offer supplies, without you even asking for it. This is one of the aspects of her character that allowed us to instantly bond with Sheva. As with any other survival horror game, ammo is always scarce in Resi 5, but Sheva always seemed to be there at the critical moment with a top-up. " - Ok this is one of the reasons RE4 sucked, and that is because there was not as much tension as their should have been. That is why it is SURVIVAL horror, not getting by just fine but enjoying the action horror. WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET THIS?!?

Ok Moving on... "She's an AI ally that actually enhances the tension of Resi's brand of suspense" Ok, is this because you just said previously that she gives you weapons and ammo just at the right time, or are you saying the AI is retarded and that means the suspense is upped by AI that does stuff that you don't want it to do?

The rest of the review is just as I expected/feared, especially with the Chainsaw guy (be more original Capcom!) and a few other stuff, it doesn't give much away, and it doesn't give much hope, except a few bits and bobs which I've heard before.

All in all I'm still disappointed with this title, and I'm still wondering why most people and Resi fans are getting a boner out of this game?
