I've beaten MP twice now.
The GC controller is fine.
Bah, a controller with TWO analog sticks makes MUCH more sense when playing a FPS. Just because some people got weaned on Bond does not mean that it is a killer control scheme.

Yes, the Controller S is much more suitable for those of us who lack such giant ape hands...
And the button layout doesn't suck.

Erm, the GC controller HAS two analog sticks.

No it doesn't, the other "stick" is an eight-way POV hat. It has never to my knowledge been used as a second stick in an FPS environment (if it could, don't you think they WOULD have used it in Metroid Prime?).

Hrmm, guess you're right. Oh well, I'm not too fond of the analog stick aiming method anyway. The lock-on method used in Metroid was spot on in my opinion.

Halo? Best console FPS controls ever in my mind.

With Goldeneye/Pefect Dark running second, of course.

It's functional, but the problem is that it is vastly inferior to mouselook. If I could somehow get the mystical combination of controller and mouselook, it'd be frickin perfection.

Which is why it was specifically stated best CONSOLE FPS controls.

What do you mean by second stick?

Ah, you're one of those underdeveloped freaks with small hands, eh? Y'know what they say about a guy with small hands...

Mouselook, however, leads to the game being glorified point and click, rather than an immersive action game.
It's just like "playing" windows....

Note to self: If a shootout ever breaks out at the local BestBuy, the Xbox display area would be a good place to take cover.
