maybe its just me but i cant get on with first person shooters on the cube and its not because i dont like shooters, on the contrary i love em on my pc, its just that i cant use the two analogue stick control required for it.
i know that the yelow stick is meant to replicate the feel of a mouse on pc but it just doesnt its clumsy and i can never aim properly with it
an example of this would be medal of honour play that on the cube and then play it on pc see what i mean??
maybe the n64 control system was a bit cumbersome and maybe it didnt quite have the freedom of the current system but i sure enjoyed perfect dark and goldeneye a lot more than medal of honour or jedi knight because at least then i allways felt i had control of my character unlike now...
...but like i said maybe its just me??

It depends on the game really agent under fire is really bad, but being able to fully customise controls in TS2 makes it a very comfortable controller indeed.

Crazy, I found using the pad for FPS's excellent and easy to get use to.

The same cannot be said about the PS2's controller and FPS's. I just can't get to grips with that. It takes me ages to aim accuratly and chances are I'm shot by the time I'm all lined up. So I usually send bullets everywhere just in hope.

ive got no probs with it at all, i can play TS2 with no probs and die hard to,

i use the grey stick for moving forwared and backwards, the yellow for moving sideways,

easy, works a treat, having the 2 sticks at different hights works so much better than the dual shock pad its just easier to control,

When I first started out wsith fps on my Cube I had the same issues. But if you play it enough it gets easier and soon second nature.
