Summary: Slightly inferior to PS2 SC2 Stick. 2008-08-09
Comment: This stick is almost identical to the PS2 Hori SC2 Stick, with the addition of the extra Xbox360 buttons. It's solid and smooth, the only gripe I have is the palm rest was shortened by a few inches, making it sort of unconfortable for people w/ larger hands, as you can't rest your hand on the surface of the stick. You end hanging your hand off the bottom edge.
In any case, it's still a great stick, and I still couldn't imaging playing Soul Calibur on a joypad.

Summary: Time tested and solid 2008-08-09
Comment: This is the same stick that was issued as the Dead or Alive 4 joystick; the non-decorated version is known as the Fighting Stick EX2. The joystick has a nice soft feel -- very good for rolling quarter-circle moves. I've used it in Street Fighter Anniversary Collection as well as DOA4 and Soulcalibur IV; it's well worth the money and the build quality is quite good -- other EX2s I've used have had no problem over the long term with durability. Also, it's small enough to fit on your lap if you don't have a coffee table or TV tray.
However, while this stick is excellent for fighters, it's not so good for classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man or New Rally-X -- the soft-springed joystick doesn't feel accurate in those games, which were designed with stiffer four-way sticks in mind. But if you use it with the games for which it was built, you'll be quite happy.

Summary: not a real review 2008-08-05
Comment: I have a question on the layout, soul calibur 4 doesn't need a left or right trigger button, but the bumpers are almost essential for switching characters and to a lesser degree pulling off critical finishes, so does that become an issue? There don't appear to be LB or RB buttons mapped on this controller, but with customizable controls does that fix the problem?

Summary: Really? You're playing SoCal 4 and you don't have this? 2008-08-05
Comment: The Title says it all. Fighting games without this is like a key without a lock. Pointless.
5 stars.

Summary: No Support 2008-07-31
Comment: I used this stick for one night and it worked great. It is extremely accurate and makes playing any fighting game more comfortable for those of us who learned on arcade machines. The next day I could not get the controller to turn on, it just kept blinking and was never recognized by my Xbox 360. I went to Hori's US site hoping to find some support information but found nothing. No phone number, no FAQ, no live chat... just an email address. I sent an email and received no response. I will likely be returning this to Amazon and continue playing with the standard controller (it's actually not that bad once you get used to it).
