Overated fight pad

Advantages: Feels more comfortable than original controller and has a turbo feature
Disadvantages: D-pad is still not improved

Ok so I have not long recieved this from ebay and because of all the hype from these controllers being sold out they have now increased in price on the secondary marker. I managed to get one for £50 which I thought was a good deal until I used it. The reason why I purchased this was so that it can replace my normal xbox controller as the D-pad sucks for fighting games. As soon as I recieved this I tried it on Street Fighter 4 straight away and to ...
...original controller. The D-pad on the control is similar to the sega saturn one but only worst. Its hard to pull out the moves on this control as when you need to input specific commands the D-pad feels loose and is all one big button and you find yourself doing a dragon punch instead of a hadouken. Whilst it does look great and varies in different style as there is a Ryu, Ken, Chunli, blanka and a rare Akuma. The control is actually quite comfortable ...

Madcatz Control Pad

Advantages: Cheap, Responsive Triggers
Disadvantages: Analogues Loose, Not as Hard Wearing as the Microsoft Originals.

...for most games. The Madcatz Microcon controller for precision gaming and have this as a spare but its still stood the test of time. In the past when you purchased a cheap third party controller for your PS2 or even PS1 it died within weeks everytime but Madcaz have appeared to have worked on this and produced something a bit more robust. Both my Microsoft controllers anologues got slightly right after 2 years and 6 months in the Madcatz is still ...
...also suffered the same fate as my originals). If you are looking for a cheap alternative to the Microsoft controller for ocassional used I would have no problem recommending this controller whereas if you need a controller to stand hard use stick to the originals. This controller does feel slightly cheaper and the analogues are looser than the originals. Give it to your mate. They should be happy you invited them round anyway and if they've got ...

This Small Wheel Is A Big Deal

Advantages: Looks great, Great grip, Very responsive, Cheap
Disadvantages: Quite small, Can become uncomfortable if rested on knees

...----------------- CONCLUSION ----------------- The MadCatz MC2 wheel is a fantastic piece of kit for the price you pay and should definitely be considered a purchase for those of you that have never used a racing wheel before and can't afford the (much) more expensive wheels on the market. At the time of writing I can't currently find a retailer that's selling this wheel, but there are a few on ebay for around the £25 mark which is a bargain. ...

MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack

Advantages: easy to use, great value for money, can be used during gameplay, USB connection
Disadvantages: cannot be charged from the mains

MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack After months of searching we finally managed to get hold of a Nintendo Wii Fit board back in July which was hugely popular with the whole family and used almost every second that the house was occupied. For those who may be unfamiliar with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii fit balance board I will explain these briefly first. The Wii is a games console which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis ...
...on amazon we found the MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack. At a reduced price of £4 it seemed incredibly cheap and we half expected it to be useless. The battery pack is basically 4 rechargable batteries contained in a plastic case which allows easy charging without fiddling around with individual batteries. When it arrived we saw that the battery pack was fairly compact and not much bigger than 4 AA batteries put together. It was the same grey colour ...

Madcatz xbox controller

Advantages: Good gameplay vibrations
Disadvantages: Comfort

I bought two of these game pads before this year and they were working fine until now. They arent very comfortable over a period of time .But apart from that there arent any other problems. The gameplay is great the game pad also has vibrations like the original xbox controller. The instruction manual is very clear and is in a few different languages so if you dont speak english you could find a language you understand in there. Also the manual has ...
