Leon is a one-man army. That's really all I've gotta say. As for running out of ammo in RE4 - did you write your name on every wall you came across with your bullets? Seriously, I can't tell you how many times I had to juggle my inventory because I got some shiny object and had too much ammo. There was literally no way I could have EVER used all the ammo they gave me. EVER.

Survival Horror games are supposed to have more in common with Metal Gear than Duke Nukem. This is not the case with RE4.

And yeah, I gotta say - RE5 as the best in the series is a statement I can't possibly get behind. It's basically just RE4 with a god-awful inventory system and crap-tacular friendly AI. At least Ashley knew to run the fuck away from zombies and never use my God Damned healing items. If you ran out of healing items in RE4, I'd say you put a Healing Spray on every minor scrap. If you ran out of healing items in RE5, I'd say you let Sheva put a Healing Spray on every minor scrap.

As for RE4 being "House of the Dead" - not only does the game pretty much feel like HotD with free-roaming, but it even has a similar story to most Light Gun games. "The president's daughter has been kidnapped by a terrorist cult! Are you a bad enough dude?"

Anyways, I'm pretty stoked about all these "horror themed" games coming out on the Wii. Just picked up Cursed Mountain and The Demon Blade and can't wait to play them.

I for one can't wait to see more of the Ju-On game.
The atmosphere of the game is very good, had a few scares.
