This controler is a must have for all playstation users. It shakes and vibrates you right into the game, with everything from a tiny tap to a 12.0 earthquake.

This controller is alot more fun to use than the standard controller. The Dual Shock is compatible with alot of games like for example Metal Gear Solid. In that game the controller when in Shock mode shakes and vibrates when you character is attacked. This makes the game alot more fun. Really gives you the feel of playing the game. Its worth the few extra dollars price over the regular controller.

The analog controller is great for a lot of different reasons. The vibration function is a really nice addition to the game. It may freak out a friend who's not expecting it (which is quite fun to watch) and adds a nice dimension to games that support it. The analog controls are great, especially for driving games. The more precise control keeps you from veering from side to side. The amount of buttons and fingers used may make people who aren't used to it uncomfortable, but that doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon.

My only complaint is that this control isn't used enough. Very few games call for the right stick. The one that I know of is G-Police, and it really adds to the game.

There's no reason to get a non-analog controller when you can get the analog. It may cost a bit more, but it's worth it.
