God of War 1 wall crawling and platforming is painful after playing the others. It's not unplayable but I always dread going through the circling blades on the balance beam during the hades section. Oh the horror. Still a blast to play through overall though so the game isn't ruined but it's definitely the weakest installment now.
I do have a strange experience in the opposite direction though in that I played MGS3 way back in the day and it felt so clunky and I couldn't get the controls right or navigate an area without being detected, but now that I have the HD version (Subsistance) and I can control the camera and for some reason control the moves much better I have great fun sneaking through the whole game lol
