Dead to Rights worst control ever !

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.xbox,microsoft.public.xbox.games (More info?)

Don't worry. The game itself is boring and trite enough that you would have
stopped playing it after about 20 minutes anyway, so the clumsy controls
actually saved you some time. I think that there should be a game players'
rating list for the worst controls (on games) of all time. I'd love to see
which games would be on that list. I know this would be one.
