Another advantage the controller has over other 3rd parties is it's own brand of tilt functionality, dubbed SixSense, which allows play in games like flOw, Toy Home, or even Lair if you're feeling masochistic.įrom this point on, though, the MadCatz controller fails miserably in regards to longevity. This is good in that they "pop" back out faster, although i doubt you'll ever find a situation that requires you to push the triggers fast enough to matter, and bad in that it takes more effort to depress the MadCatz triggers, which tires your fingers faster.The MadCatz, does, however have a "home" (PS) button which many other 3rd parties lack. Another difference form the SIXAXIS most will notice is that the triggers are stiffer/springier. This just doesn't translate very well to the MadCatz controller as it jsut doesn't feel very.solid at all, i might even go so far as to say it feels cheap. Now, anyone that's held a SIXAXIS knows how light it is compared to the force-feedback enabled controllers, an issue we'll have to readjsut to when the DualShock 3 comes out. However, since no 3rd party yet uses bluetooth, any wireless controller is going to use up one of your USB ports anyway. Also, at $29.99, the wired MadCatz is conisderably cheaper than Sony's offering you can even opt for a wireless one for 10 dollars more and the 9 foot cord offer plenty of length for most room setups. Personally i always like to have at least 1 wired controller, that way you've always got one controller to use that you don't have to worry about recharging. But a PS2 doesn't have any motion-sensing capabilities, so if you wanna go multiplayer in something like flOw or WarHawk (assuming you use motion controls in WarHawk) you've still got to either shell out $50 for a SIXAXIS or find a third party solution that actually has SIXAXIS (read: motion sensing) functionality, that's where MadCatz comes in. But what's the fun of having a shiny new system without someone to play with? Of course, having someone else requires another controller, and you can't really count on any having a controller to use this early in the PS3's lifespan unless, of course, you've got one of those PS2-to-PS3 adapters. Alright, so you have yourself a PS3, and if you picked it up before the price drop, owe some money to some unsavory characters as a result.
