Ocarina of Time is way better than Twilight Princess. (no duh that's just my opinion... yeesh)

The one problem I had with Goldeneye was the controls. I much preferred the Turok control methods in which the yellow buttons made you move and the joystick aimed. The only reason most people preferred the Goldeneye controls was because it auto aimed vertically and most shooting took place on a purely horizontal plane.. If you actually wanted to try and shoot up or down, using the up and down yellow buttons was a pain in the ass.

BAM! You nailed it so hard it came out the other side. I tried playing golden eye and i just cannot wrap my head around the controls. one part lets you walk forward or backward and aim left or right, the other lets you walk left or right and aim up or down. WTF!? When your controls are focus around the movement of the body and the angle of the camera, then those become the logical group for buttons, one set controls left right forward backward movement of the body and the other controls the movement of the camera, yet with the 8 or so different control options that Goldeneye had for its controls, this wasn't one of them.

I am so glad that I got Turok and not Goldeneye during my N64 years cause that would have compounded my FPS hatred even more. I can STILL go back and play Turok, whether on the actual N64, or as a Rom using the PS2 controller (there's absolutely no issues mapping turok controls to dual analog) I still don't understand how Goldeneye qualifies for best FPS of the N64.
