i have played all of the other consoles (ps3, game cube, wii e.c.t) on most types of games. i have noticed that the 360 has the best controller for all round game use (driving, fighting, shooting e.c.t.)

 does anyone agree?

I certainly do, its the reason I chose the 360 as my main next gen console; and its also a great improvement over that MONSTER of an xbox controller. The PS3 controller I cant stand because its the same as the PS2 controller and I just hated that thing (except for sports games) And the Wii motion sensing bullcrap im sorta gettin bored and tired of, I havent touched my wii in absolute ages.

Yep the 360 controller is fantastic yesterday I picked up one of my old xbox controllers and thought to myself I cant beleive I used to use this. 360 controller is by far the most comfortable.

i have played all of the other consoles (ps3, game cube, wii e.c.t) on most types of games. i have noticed that the 360 has the best controller for all round game use (driving, fighting, shooting e.c.t.)

 does anyone agree?

What about when your watching a movies, almost 4 of the buttons means the same thing. Unlike the ps2or3.

Yeah but if you say that the 360 has the best controller you have to compare it to something, don't you.

So you're comparing it to the Dual Shock?  Then why are you talking about movies?
I think the main idea here is that the 360's controller has the best ergonomics:  It's the most comfortable to hold.  Sony's PS2 controller gives me massive hand cramps.  Tis why I use the logitech wireless one :)

Yeah the D-Pad is fine for something like changing weapons but for using for a long time it is crap IMO. Other than that the controller is perfect. I'm sure you can get a replacement somewhere for that piece of plastic which I think causes the problem but I couldn't be arsed as I don't play many games that require it.

The super nintendo was only good because you cant really mess up a controller that only has like 4 buttons and the ps2 controller is just wierd.

For years I thought the PS2 controller was the greatest controller ever. I mean, it was comfortable, the shoulder buttons were in the right spot, and the d-pad and analog sticks were placed very well. But after playing my 360 for months and then picking up the PS2 again, I couldn't believe how much better the 360 controller is. Everything except the d-pad is ten times better, the PS2 controllers are just way too small.

And everyone here's gotta agree with this, Nintendo hasn't made a good controller since the SNES.

I would say its at its best for shooters and action games, which is what i play a lot anyways, the d-pad is annoying and i think its a pain using the triggers for gas and brake on racing, but the buttons are good for that.  Overall i think its the best one out there because i dont think any controller is perfect for everytype of game there is.

i think that the controller is great but there are two problems for me, the D-Pad as many have said, and the way the anolog sticks are not horizontally equally to eachother.

I defo agree, when you pick up a ps3 controller it feels some what deformed, wii controllers are ok but the xbox 360 controller feels smooth and cool, also i feel that since i have had the original xbox even that i have got used to the way xbox/xbox 360 games play. I think that the 360 controller fits nicely into the players hands. i also agree with hama666 that i haven't touched my wii for ages and seem to be playing on my 360 round the clock! Good thread by the way.

I totally agree! It also looked like a superhero hovering above the ground! But the 360 controller is also amazing! I love the anolog sticks because they have craters so it's easier to control.

Mmm i guess you can call it a great all round controller,but too be honest for people with small-ish hands the dual shock 2 is better imo

Also the d-pad on the DS2 is 1000% better than the awful 360 d-pad,which ruining fighting games imo.
