"Worst Controller"

Wich Console Has The Worst (Official) Controller?

I Vote XBox

Yeah, the analogue sticks need to be offset and diagonal like the GCs for gaming fun.

The size of the Xbox controller is ok but I don't like the layout of the analogue sticks compared to the GC or PS2 controller!

The X-box controller is fine, but you have to use it alot to get comfortable with it I find. For the first 20 or so hours I found it un-comfortable, but now I'm uses to it and it's comfortable. The Gamecube controller is the best though, and doesn't require you to 'work' at it. As for the NES controller....ugh..although there was one that replaced the D-pad with a tilting circle, and on that was a smaller circle that slid over it. And you put your thumb on the small one and slid it round to tilt the big circle, to move. That was brilliant, like a flat analogue stick.

I was playing my ms the other day. The controllers suck

The Xbox controller is fine.

I wouldn't rate it better than the Gamecube one, but it's fine.
It's FAR from uncomfortable.

Now try playing on those old square cornered Nes/Master System controllers!
They seemed fine 10 years ago...

The NES controller, after trying it again after so many years of 'comfy gaming', It felt like I was holding a box of Daz.

x box

defo X BOX, the x box controller kind of defeats the purpose of having a "Hand held controller", when it doestn actually fit in your hand,

The X-Box's controller is ok, but it can't compare to the GameCube's. Of course, X-Box owners would deny that and quote the '20,000 hours of testing' comment.

id have to say the phillips CDI , that control was absolute shizer ! it was like a tv control and fiddly to use. The xbox control , although not very good , isn't actually that bad , i had another go on one in toys r us and it felt "ok" not great or even that good but it was ok.
