This review is from: HORI Xbox 360 Dead or Alive 4 Arcade Stick (Video Game)

So I picked up the stick after having DOA for a couple of days, and right away I could tell a huge difference in my game play. The regular controllers, while great for the rest of the 360 games, isn't very effiecient for DOA. I would constintly hit either the start button or the xbox control button while trying to play.

The Arcade Stick solves the start/control button problem as they are located on the edge of the pad, well away from the play buttons. It has a good feel to it, and it makes pulling the different combos off a bit easier.

The only cons I have so far is that there is not a wireless control available (as the other reviewer stated) and that because there is only one control stick, it will not be useful for as many games aw you might like. certainly not games where you need camera control, or the majority of your shooters with aiming and such.

Overall its a good purchase, especially if you are going to be playing DOA with any high frequency(I have almost 20 hours played as of the 3rd day of release). Hopefully future games will be compatable with this stick as well.

4 stars for lack of wireless and diversity.

Ironically, I play DOA4 with the normal controller but this stick works perfectly for every fighting game and even the vertical shooters like Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun feel excellent on it. Totally recommended!

I bought this stick primarily so I can have an arcade stick for my 360. Ironically, even though I have DoA4, I haven't touched the game in over a month ever since I bought it since Senko no Ronde occupies most of my time on the system. For that game, the stick gets the job done, as I've never had any problems controlling my character and blasting away at my opponents with it except when I need to do 360 degree rotations as I seem to not put enough force in a particular direction to register that the stick was pressed there. Then again, the stick was built with DoA4 in mind.
