Agreed its not a horror game in any way shape or form... and to be fair theres not much action, certainly theres no moving and shooting!!! lol. So can you just call it a game?

There's a couple of moments there, guys -- chapter 5 is full of classic RE moments, and this is coming from someone who has been playing them since '97 and prefers the old stuff. ;)

For a decent survival horror game try Silent Hill: Homecoming...in the dark with surround sound, on a large LCD. Proper old school survival horror.

RE5 is a great game and I agree with poster #4. The game has its moments, I wouldn't say its horror but it definitely took me back to old days of resident evil. As far as people complaining it not being scary, I think the only scary RE game is REmake on Gamecube
