Rating :  - The first and only real Windows joystick
For quite a long time, using a joystick in Windows to play games was a real pain. I remember buying a generic one few years ago, and realizing I could only play few games with it, and even those played awfully uncomfortable and I had to set up axes, buttons, etc. on each game.
With the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, Microsoft are trying to push it as a standard, and many games support it out of the box, the same way as you would expect as playing them on a Xbox 360 - just run the game, choose the controller as default and you are ready to go.
Examples of such popular titles are:
- Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Prototype
- Prince of Persia
- Need for Speed: Undercover
- Fallout 3
- Far Cry 2
- FIFA Soccer 09
- Crysis
- Crysis Warhead
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Assassin's Creed
- Half-Life 2
This joystick may not replace the whole console experience, but for a casual gamer as myself, who does not have or want a console, it's perfect.
This wireless one works very well, batteries last long enough, feels great in your hands. Surely, don't expect to match a keyboard and mouse precision for first person shooter games, but if you play for fun and relaxation, it does not matter how good you are. Standing on a desk, stooping over the mouse and keyboard is no match for sitting laid back on the sofa with the wireless joystick and really relaxing.
So, if you are a PC gamer, buy this joystick. You are guaranteed to have your money's worth of fun with it.
