2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful collector's piece, Worthless Unusable controller, December 28, 2005
By 
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Playstation 2 Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller (Video Game)
The chainsaw itself looks beautiful. To see a replica of an instrument of destruction, covered in murderous streaks of crimson gore, in a well designed display case, is admirable and humorous.

The chainsaw blade shines with its mirror-like finish, beneath the streaks of blood splattered about it. The body of the chainsaw again has droplets of blood EVERYWHERE on it (great attention to detail), which also make each unit unique in its splatter design. I was especially impressed with the bloody fingerprints on both handles of the chainsaw, and on the underside where you will place your fingers. The blood only felt a little sticky on the tops of the analog sticks.

There is a ripcord on the top of the chainsaw, which also functions as the Start button (quite novel!), that starts a short chainsaw sounding roar and rumble feature within the unit. Very excellent collector's item, the unit looks great, and the display case only adds to it. Where else do you see a blood-dripping chainsaw blade emerge from the side of a display case?

However, once I fired this puppy up, I understood why such attention was given to the appearance and collectibility side of the unit. The chainsaw is incredibly uncomfortable to use as a controller for RE4. The N-Motion feature excited me most. I mistakenly imaged this feature would allow you to move Leon's laser targeting on-screen as you moved the chainsaw around in your hands. It doesn't. Instead, by holding the chainsaw blade straight forward to approximately 45 degrees downward, a mechanism in the unit will activate the R1 button for you, which puts Leon into targeting mode, and you then aim with the analog stick, as normal. To have him release the targeting, and return to normal walking mode, you must position the chainsaw blade straight down (or less then 45 degrees upwards).

This makes the unit uncomfortable for several reasons. First, you can't play this sitting on the floor or in a recliner. You need to hold this against your belly with your legs open to allow you to lower the chainsaw blade. Second, trying to reach the XOTS buttons and left analog stick while pointing the unit straight down is both hard and painful. You spend the majority of the game running, yet can't reach these buttons comfortably now. The first batch of villagers I encountered while using this controller quickly tore me apart (and I have played through the game numerous times).

The controller would be a bigger nightmare for any other games with its awkward button fingering (L2 and R2 are used by pushing on the unit with the BACKS of your middle fingers), and Select and Start being so far away from the main buttons. And the N-Motion feature (remember, all it does is activate R1), needs to be switched off to use the controller otherwise.

Overall it's a beautiful unit and collector's piece, but incredibly poor as a functional game controller. It did not make me want to play my RE4 game, it made me want to turn it off completely.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great to look at, May 4, 2009
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Playstation 2 Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller (Video Game)
Great to look at, but cumbersome to play with extendedly. More for looks and laughes. The supposed motion activate that raises Leon's gun doesnt work. If your a Resident Evil fan and collector, this is a great addition to your collection. If your looking for a game controller, this isnt your best option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad A$$ controller, August 15, 2008
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Playstation 2 Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller (Video Game)
The most awesome controller you will ever see. It is a little difficult to get use to when you first start but once your use to it, it kicks A$$. the start button is the rip cord and it vibrates and makes chainsaw sounds. when using it for the game u can set it so when you raise it up Leon raises his gun. By far the coolest controller ever
