4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, not the best, October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Controller for Sony Playstation 2, Dual Impact 2 by Performance (Video Game)

This control is... cheaper than a regular ps2 dual shock control, and accomadates bigger hands better since the control handles are wider apart. However, the dpad feels a little weird and it IS third party which voids your warranty with sony (at least thats how it was with ps1 third party peripherals). Personnaly, im going to go with all Dual Shock two's (FULL ANALOG!) from Sony.

2.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable to hold, but breaks quickly, January 18, 2001

I bought a total of four of these - on two of them, the R1 button broke in less than an hour of their first use. Another one has something broken inside, which rattles when it is in use - it hasn't stopped working yet, but is annoying.

On the plus side, it is much more comfortable for me, since it is sized more for an adult than the standard Sony controller, and has a softer gamepad control for the d-pad. Sony's controller has four separate buttons for the d-pad, which makes it harder on the thumbs over time.

All in all, they aren't worth the money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stick with the original gamepad, November 27, 2000

By A Customer

This gamepad may have its good points but nothing to compare to the original. The poor quality of this product shows from its fragile control sticks to its flimsy analog buttons. I have owned two and both broke within a week. Stay away from these third party manufacturers and pay the extra buck for original PS2 products.
