I guess I got lucky playing the PC version?
But speaking of weird controls, I despised the controls in MGS: Portable Ops. A horrid hybrid lifted from MGS3. Peace Walker was a dramatic improvement, thanks to it borrowing liberally from Syphon Filter.
Also, I hated the walk-run button in Splinter Cell: Blacklist on PC. Fantastic game, but they really should have bought back the mouse-wheel walk speed adjustment from Chaos Theory.
