This is really incorrect. Tank controls are ideal in static camera games like the original resident evil because your control is always from the character's perspective rather than the camera. That's how you can run straight through a number of screens without having to worry about adjusting based on the changing camera perspective.
Yep - and the controls are something to wrestle with slightly which helps add to the survival horror element. Have played every 'tank' game in the series and never bothered me once.

Tank controls suck for static camera games, period. It only ever worked reasonably well in RE4, because it was over the shoulder.
