Title: New controller for a new system
Review: The new controller for the Xbox 360 is quite similar to the previous controllers for the first generation Xbox. Those transitioning from the first generation to the 360 will find controls as they were, so players don't have to re-learn button position. There is one exception to the similarities. Every time a new generation of controller has arrived, the "start" and "back" buttons always seem to shift their positions, and I'm not sure why. Also, the black and white buttons of the Xbox controllers have been replaced by the "LB" and "RB" buttons on the 360. However, all buttons are conveniently positioned, but the rather narrow range of motion of the left thumbstick makes finesse in racing games difficult to achieve. Instead you get either too little or too much input as you attempt to maneuver your car around the track, though you get used to it. Overall, a good controller and I have had absolutely no reliability issues (even through heavy use.)
Is the review positive or negative?
