While it's not my favorite, I definitely agree, it is a good game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has its issues but they're not as big of an issue as people made them out to be.

I like the N64 controller more than the Gamecube controller.

I love the Dreamcast, but... I don't love the Dreamcast controller. I do kinda like the shape and button positions of the Gamecube controller, despite not liking the dpad.

Both the GC and DC D-Pads are evil. They tear my fingers up. Trying to speedrun Sonic on the GC pad was a nightmare.

Do you find the Dual Shock's any better? I tried playing FF7 on my PS3 and my fingers hurt so much, I started playing it with an arcade stick (since the PS3 emulator won't let me map the D-pad to the left analogue stick).

Mind you the problem might have been that I have to do constant circle motions while walking, while in 2D platformers you just press left and right.

Yeah, the tug-of-war was probably the most brutal. I know guys who broke controllers and gave themselves some nasty injuries on that one.
