Sure, but many RE fans seem much more divided on the game. A lot of people wanted a new action RE game, a lot of people wanted fixed camera classic RE, and some just really disliked first-person in general. There's also the reception of the story, and the new cast of characters, which was also very mixed. I loved the game though, and it's probably the only game this year I've beaten multiple times. I would still prefer a third-person perspective, and Classic characters (that aren't unbelievably ugly, unrecognizable renditions of themselves...), but this game was awesome. A lot of people don't seem to feel that way though, and the game didn't sell very well either, or meet Capcom's expectations for it.
