Summary: Fairly suspect Madcatz product 2008-03-17
Comment: I have purchased many madcatz products over the years and the ones I really liked such as the DREAMCAST PANTHER TRACKBALL all eventually broke. I was excited to get a stick for some of the LIVE ARCADE titles I have on disc for my 360 and while the controller worked well for PAC MAN and a few others the stick would get stuck in a corner to the top left sometimes and my biggest gripe the 3 LIVE ARACDE TITLES aren't on disc as I had hoped, they are downloadable cards with expiration dates and I don't have access to high speed internet where my console is, while I wouldn't buy it again I don't mind having a second controller for my 360 and this one has all the buttons and functions of a normal 360 so live and learn. Probably most gamers will find this an unsatisfying arcade stick replacement and want to go with a HORI, or Xarcade stick for real arcade action. That said the button atop the stick is great for LIVE ARCADE titles like TEMPEST, TIME PILOT etc. which really only require move and shoot.

Summary: Beware - You won't get what you are expecting 2008-02-11
Comment: This is a good idea with poor execution.
2 stars for the joystick, and 5 for the games that come with it.
The good thing is that it comes with 3 games (astropop, frogger, and time pilot). Its good that is has a spinner control like the atari paddle and that's where it stops.
The bad:
1. It should have come with a game that uses the spinner control which would either be Tron or Tempest.
2. The spinner does not currently with with Tron.
3. The joystick has too much range of motion meaning the stick leans too far left, right, up and down.
4. Gameplay can be awkward using the controller while trying to use the button on top of the stick and playing an intense game.
Currently, you should not play more that $30 for this item (about how much the 3 games are worth) because it really isn't utilized by any game I am aware of.
