You thought it was
easier with a controller? I found the shooting segments frustrating as hell since you can't move and look up/down at the same time (that would require operating both the analog stick and d-pad at once). I do agree that the Dreamcast port is very good though. Load times aren't far behind the PC, and they didn't have to downgrade the visuals very much.
The Dreamcast is easily my favorite console. If nothing else, I just love the feel of it. The time frame it existed in (98-01) is very special to me. Besides Shenmue I & II, my favorites on the DC include Skies of Arcadia, The Nomad Soul, Seaman, Silver, Hydro Thunder (favorite arcade game), Space Channel 5, Metropolis Street Racer, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
