Customer Review: Compatible & Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
Compatibility. A product by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows, every game that supports controllers will support this one. Microsoft also releases updates to this controller via their Windows Update. Not only do games support it, but many of the games I have show the Xbox buttons and control scheme layout in the manual. They also show the buttons on-screen (which to press), just like on the consoles.
This controller also comes equipped with vibration.
I got the wired version because wired is usually more reliable and less problems than their wireless counterparts. Also if there are batteries involved, I'll pass.
The Xbox 360 controller gets a lot of flak for their D-Pad. They redesigned the D-Pad for Europe gamers (because of a soccer game) which shows you that it could be improved. However the PS2/PS3's D-Pad isn't any better.
I used to have a Logitech Wingman and the joysticks broke off. It was kind of cheap. Their new ones are probably better. Logitech's version of the Playstation 3 controller would be the only other option. However it doesn't seem as good as Sony's. Logitech also makes an Xbox 360-like controller.
I had no problems adjusting to this controller. I've used the PS2 and PS3 controllers the most. It's a lot like the PS2/PS3 controller. The first noticeable difference is that the joysticks aren't symmetrical. The D-Pad and Left Joystick are in reversed positions (comparing to the PS2/PS3 controller). However, it doesn't seem to matter. Now that I've been playing with it, I can't choose which I like better, Xbox's or Sony's.
A few of the games I've played with Xbox 360 for Windows controller:
- Batman Arkham Asylum
- X-Men Origins Wolverine
- Prototype
- Tombraider: Underworld
- Watchmen: The End is Nigh
All of which had on-screen displays for the buttons!
