I prefer the Genesis version for this reason. For what it's worth, I think this is the best console RPG I've ever played. Graphics are good overall. The exception being the trips into cyberspace where the graphics are excellent. The visuals and attack animations while on a Matrix run are top notch.
Control is excellent.
If you get your character geeked on a run, it will be because you made a serious error in judgment, not poor control. Sound is good. The only real problem I have with Shadowrun is the ending. Abrupt is too slight a word to describe it. The average gamer will spend 50-60 hours getting to the final battle.
