That was done in Fear Effect for the PSX.
Also in Final Fantasy 8/9. And probably other Square games that weren't released out here.
But yes, Fear Effect is the one he's thinking of.

You really shouldn't be in the situation where you NEED to act fast, but the controls were hampering you. The 180degree turn rectified any real problems. Anything after that was your fault.

More like The Godfather to The Godfather pt. 2 :) Both brilliant, but in their own ways.
On a side note, they had Metroid Prime on display (Full NTSC copy) at my EB today, and I got to play it. I was fully impressed by the graphics, but hadn't figured out how to scan or anything yet. The ball is neat-o :D Controls did throw me off a little, but I knew what I was getting into, and it shouldn't take me long to adjust once I get the game. :)
