It's the camera that sucks. Very common for early 3D, but medievil isn't the worst offender. *cough* super mario 64 *cough* All 3D games had bad cameras until Tomb Raider, and many even were bad after that. TR was probably the first 3D game to have a camera that wasn't garbage, though.
Now I have to play Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts too.
