The controls ruined it

I played Resident Evil 5 and kinda hated the idea of having to stand still to shoot your weapon. I mean, what year is this? I played Resident Evil 5 all the way until the end though, despite my hatred for the controls.
I never would have guessed that the controls for Resident Evil 4 could possibly be worse. I tried playing with a Game Cube controller first, but that was just plain frustrating. After switching to the Wii remote and nunchuck, I did a little better, but I really REALLY hate the difficulty of toggling back and forth between movement and camera control on one single stick. I was constantly looking at the sky or the dirt.
I sent this game back shortly after starting it. I am someone who should have loved this game. The story and style are exactly what I wanted, but the controls made this game impossible for me to enjoy.
Oh, well. I hear that for the next Resident Evil, entitled "Operation Raccoon City", the developers pulled their heads out of their lower orifices and we will finally be able to walk and shoot at the same time. As long as they don't mess up the control scheme, I will be a happy camper.
