Actually , they're not even real FPS controls.... maybe if you where to compare them to game like the original Doom or Duke Nukem 3D, but modern FPS controls they are not (as in games like Splinter Cell, Alice, etc.)
What makes them really bad is that they're laggy. Once the Dual Shock controllers became standard they should have switched over to the new FPS/TPS controls (left stick=forward/backward and step left/right, right stick=look up/down and turn left/right).... while her "sideways shuffle" is a somewhat accurate depiction of how people move, it's not a norm for that type of thing... most games (when you're not on a thing ledge or something, "wall hugging") will turn the lower body to the side when running side-to-side (straffing).
The reason I gave up on TR3 was on the final boss battle I kept falling off the small walkway and into the lava... trying to run from the spider guy thingie...
Was my only real complaint about the game.... (then again, I didn't care for MSG2's controls, yet I know you like that game). The control style just doesn't lend itself to complicated running-around battles, and there where quite a few in that game.
