- Gamecube beats PS2 and Xbox once again...
...but this time in the controller department. Instead of lazily using the control pad from their previous console (*cough* Sony) Nintendo have gone all the way by creating a brilliant pad to boost the Gamecube's playability even more. Unlike the hand-cripplingly-small PS2 and the hideously chunky Xbox pads this feels perfect even in my big hands. Turning the Camera buttons from the N64 into a C-stick means for more precise camera controls and other buttons are styled perfectly for just about every game on the market. One thing I do miss from the old N64 pad is the Z-trigger on the back but the large a button makes for a more comfortable 'fire' button.
Rating: - THE Controller
From passed experience, with the N64, Nintendos' controllers have always impressed me aswell as many gaming fans! The Gamecube controller prolongs that trend of impressiveness with a tough little beauty that fits right into the sweaty little palms of your hands. The controller itself looks a little odd at first glance, but start playing, and you know why it was made in that way. Unlike the PS2 and Xbox controllers where similar buttons are all the same size, the gamecube controller has a larger button for 'A' rather than 'B' due to the extra importance of the 'A' button in most games - such as firing a gun. The bigger the button, the easier it is to find and use! The control sticks have been ammended since the N64 as there is no crator leading down to the base of the stick, instead, the actual control stick arises from a bigger ball acting as the base - this gives the two control sticks a meatier feel, and also prevents dirt from entering the controller!
The most impressive aspect of the controller is the introduction of 'digital-clicks' for the 'L' and 'R' shoulder buttons - this allows for many extra functions to be operated by these two 'pressure responsive' buttons.
A colourful, ergonomic design that promotes ease of use and functionality. Amazing!!
Rating: - WOW!
When we baught our Playstations back in the distant 90's we all thought the controller was definative. How wrong we were. The GC controller is everything the PS controller was, only more so. The buttons are all in the right places, and anyone can use the easily, unlike a certain other controller.
Simply the best controller I've ever used. It makes all others feel very poor, including the PS2's - fact.
Rating: - What a pad!!
This is the best pad out of all the next gen consoles!
It isn't to small like the PS2's and it isn't too big like the X-Box's. It is just right!
The L and R shoulder buttons are analog and you can push them to varying degrees of pressure. There is a definitive click at the end which makes these the best triggers since the Dreamcast pad.
The Z button is nicely situated just in front of the R button.
The X and Y buttons are small yet easy to reach with a very large A button just below them. To the bottom left of the A button is a small yet bulky B button, and below this is the C stick.
The analog stick is nice, designed like the Dreamcast's so as not to wobble with age like the N64's.
The D-Pad is tiny but still easy to press the individual directions and there is a start button in the center of that pad.
This is without doubt the best pad available for any console. Every unofficial pad for the Gc also pales to this official one.
Rating: - The Perfect Controller?
The Gamecube , The PS2 and The X-Box everybody knows what there favourite console is but i dont think anyone can argue with the best controller , it is without a doubt the Gamecube's one . A shape that fits perfectly in your hands , easy to reach buttons in all situations , pressure senseative shoulder buttons , a camera stick which allows you to view all the perfect graphics around , a center button which does all of ther main features in a game and a perfect 3d stick which allows for total gaming bliss . If you thought it couldnt get any better than that , think again , for all of the older gamers out there like myself who have decided that purple is not really the colour for then , well then there's a slick looking black colour to keep all gaming fans happy .
