Just grab the Dark Athena'd EFBB Croc, I replayed it recently and it looked definitely better than the original, more than I remembered.  Mouse controls were fine too for me. (However you can still try to lock the framerate and/or set the max pre-rendered frames to 1 to improve the responsiveness)

Does the original have X360 controller support?

I believe so, the game cannot recognize modern nvidia cards so the option is no longer selectable. Whether you could spoof your GPU's id and if that would have worked I don't know. Dark Athena is the superior version anyway which also does give you the option to enable soft shadows albeit through the console, with xr_softstencil 1, which is how I played the game.

man, thats what I asked for, thanks!
Maybe this command also works in older game (I've tried spoofing to old nvidia cards with radeonpro but not worked).
Will try ss with Dark Athena Remake asap
edit(any more usefull commands ? I cannot find any command list online)

The remake is better IMO, I did test them both for myself when I played it recently and it fits my tastes better.

I'm torn to be honest, half and half as some scenes looked better in the original and some look better in the remake.

You have to take into account things like the new takedown animations borrowed from Dark Athena as well

Oh don't get me wrong, on the whole I definitely prefer the remake as the better game overall - just that they overdo the post-processing a bit and it damages some scenes.

And the better models and shading win hands down.

both versions look good to me,
only pixel hunting really makes you notice the outdated feel of the first version 
Is on my soon to play list as well, never played dark athena, and played only half or so of the original game.

I'll be playing dark athena since I have that on steam so its just convinient
I don't even know why I never finished the game since I loved it.
with far cry 1 was the first game I played on my
then new gaming build after a time of laptops.
Riddicks shiny head looked amazing at the time,
now it needs tesselation badly

Nope, in motion the difference is greater and immediately noticeable.

Nice job KC. I have the original copy handy with me. Does the 360 controller have native support?

The corrupted shadows you are talking about are tiny shadowmaps.
Switching to stencil shadows via that command leads to some super dark shadows that at times eg make the eyes of the characters if a shadow covers them super dark, or entirely missing shadows.
You are trading one problem (that is the expected output albeit a little glitchy) for another (that is the incorrect output meaning a higher chance of something looking "wrong").
