I totally agree with you about the camera. I mentioned it in my Notes and absolutely agree. It's totally disorienting. The second game improves the camera a great deal, although it too contains sections with tight corners and a fixed camera that can make you completely blinded sometimes.

And, yes, that is exactly what my comment means. From my ninety minutes with the game, I thought it was decent. While playing the game I was reminded of my least favorite aspects of the earlier Resident Evil games: a fixed camera that favors cinematic presentation but constantly disorients the player, and stupid arbitrary puzzles that require you to unlock things that are not doors with things that are not keys. I guess I should just be thankful that Dante doesn't control like a tank and that you don't have to worry about conserving ammo.

I had problems finding it. I looked at a FAQ Online and it mentioned that, but I could never seem to find that option, to turn it on, before I started that mission again.

I imagine that makes the battle with Phantom a lot easier. So, odd as it sounds, in order to make that battle easier you have to suck harder. Go figure.
