5 out of 5 stars Excellent Stick!   November 10, 2007
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

Only 2 points to make in this review. Firstly, it's an excellent stick for fighting and arcade games, easily as good as my other favourite stick, the Dreamcast Official Arcade Stick. It stands up well on Tekken 5 DR and other downloaded arcade games, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Secondly, although the stick manufacturer states that it is not compatible with Playstation 2 games, it is. Sony's firmware updates have seen to that, and now you can use it for all those compatible PS2 games you want. Top stuff!

So, to summarise, 5 stars!



4 out of 5 stars It's no HRAP 3 or VFHG but it's one of the better Hori stick out there in the UK.   April 2, 2007

So is this stick any good? The answer is yes. The quality is good and it is one of the better Hori sticks that are freely available in the UK. The lever is responsive (if a little loose for my tastes) as are the buttons. The components are all Hori made, and is capable of withstanding a fair amount of abuse.
My game play in titles such as Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection improved significantly using this stick. Unlike the Sixaxis it is wired yet you have lots of cable to sit back and relax with and the Stick is sold and heavy. There are rubber pads at the base to avoid slippage (in the heat of the fight) on sold surfaces.
There are better sticks out there that use real arcade parts such as the HRAP 3 (Hori Real Arcade Pro 3) Which uses a Sanwa (Japanese arcade parts manufacturer) Stick and interchangeable Hori buttons and the Virtua Fighter High Grade stick which uses a Sanwa stick and Sanwa buttons. unfortunately for us Brits these incredible sticks are not freely available in the UK (check import stores or import sites) and are quite expensive.
The Hori Fighting Stick 3 is a cheap and sold alternative and comes highly recommended.



4 out of 5 stars Could it! be good?....Yes!!   November 4, 2007

I returned this Item, because I was under the impression it had a fault. Going through the startup section of Ghost Recon2, to enter the game. The control stick worked well, until it came to control the main charactor. Then nothing! Amazon as usual were quick to replace the said item and the same problem occurred again, with the above game. I realised the so called fault( if! I could call it that!) was'nt due the fighting stick but! more likely to Ghost Recon2's high spec setup. The fighting stick will be a top controller in many games, just make sure it's compatable with the game you want to use it on. I am holding on to this one. As it could be a real boon on PS3 games to come.
