From Medal of Honor Underground page note
What was said about Medal of Honor Underground
Medal of Honor Underground used the second analog stick to control the camera. The DualShock's second stick was barely used at first, apart from swinging the net in Ape Escape. Developers later realised it could control the camera, which led to fluid console first-person shooters like Medal of Honor Underground and Alien Resurrection.
Players needed time to adapt to the scheme. Gamespot called Alien Resurrection's controls almost unplayably difficult in 2000. The lesson drawn is to pair new control hardware with a design that exploits it.
