The only explanation of Frank West being in this game is bias. Somebody over at Monolith definitely pushed them to write his character in. Ain't no other goddamn way, as he is easily one of the least popular characters in modern Capcom's arsenal regarding the Japanese market.

Anyway, gameplay is awful. The fights are so incredibly monotonous, and you're completely railroaded between stages. Character animations are nice, and the dialogue can be pretty fun. But that's the extent of this otherwise banal game.
