IDK about Game Cube version, but with the PS2, the load times are annoying when you know that in the Xbox version a lot of the areas are all just connected as one big map. I'm assuming there's the same loading problem in GC.
I won't like PC controls for a game like this (I've never played it though). While it takes skill to sneak with the analog sticks, I think you can just control your speed with the middle wheel. So I think that means you can simply lock Sam at the perfect speed (fast but silent) and ruin the challenge of staying calm during times of stress, or making it to the next shadow in time, without alerting anyone.
Place SC1, 2 (not as good), 3, and play the last gen version of 4.
Current Gen DA was a disgrace... I can't believe they let Shanghai (although I know they alternate) ruin an important step for the SC series.
