Now i have to say this is the most comfortable controller i have used ever on any console. I use to think this about the dreamcast controller but that took some time for me to get use to before it came confortable to me. With the Gamecube controller though i found it comfortable as soon as i play with it on Star Wars : RS2.

I have a question though is the controller analog?

Does it have similar features to the ps2 controller?

The N64 controller was by far the best controller ever for first person shooters. The game cube is better all round and the sholder bottons make it better for racing but i will miss the trigger to shoot. It is not same to shoot somebody with a botton as with a trigger. I do not like the z button on the gc but i think it will be ok as a menu button. like for inentory for rainbow six etc.

True, the N64 controller was a masterpiece, but the Gamecube controller is slightly betta overall. The analogue stick is MILES betta, but the D-pad is positioned slightly awkwardlly on th GC controller and the C-Stick I find slightly hard to use with precision but the Excellent R and L buttons more than make up for these monir faults...

BUT.. i miss the trigger finger operated Z-TRIGGER
The N64 z-button was the best!!

More or less the same controller really as the PS2.

D-pad and Analogue have been swapped around.

More or less the same shape.

Both built in rumble.

Less buttons up top on the Gamecube, but the trigger buttons are much better than the PS2 pressure sensitive ones. Much more degree of control with the shoulder buttons on the Gamecube which will be advantageous in racing games for acceleration. Also very cool for setting the spin on Monkey Bowling :)
