Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Small but should be built better
Don't get me wrong i have and love gamecube and the controller because its so perfect. It is way better than the XBOX controller which is massive. Also the built in rumble is an improvement from the N64 Rumble Pak. However this very controller broke down on me. the c stick moves all by itself. ive reset it cleaned it and it still moves on its on. im waiting to get a refund on it. The funny thing is i took very good care of it anyway gamecube is still the best. I just wish i could get this repaired.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Incredible controller, best ever
The GameCube controller. This controller is one of the best ever made. No doubt about it. Nintendo's previous controller, from the Nintendo 64, was good, but not great. It was a very different type of design. The GameCube controller is a million times better than that controller. It's really hard to believe. The very first time I held this controller in my hands, I knew it was a winner.

Many people say this controller was made for people with small hands. I disagree with that. I have small hands myself, but I have a few friends who have huge hands, and they have no problems with it. The left and right triggers are in the perfect position for both of your index fingers. All the buttons on the right side of the controller are easily accessible with your right thumb. They button layout is nearly perfect; with an enlarged "A" button for games with repetitive pressing of a single button. The analog stick can be easily accessed with your left thumb, and it rotates smoothly every time. The C-stick has replaced the C buttons from the previous N64 controller, and it allows for much more precise control.

The only problems I could possibly think of with this controller are that the control pad is a bit small, but it is very rarely used, so that really isn't too big of a problem and the second thing I could think of was that the length of the controller cable is a bit short, but that can be easily fixed with extension cables. And now that the WaveBird is out, you can enjoy the wonderful GameCube controller without all the trouble of cables!

I've had this controller for nearly eight months now, and it is still extremely dependable. All the buttons are still firm, and the control stick is still nice and tight. Nintendo hardly needs to issue any kind of a warrantee with this controller; there is hardly any chance of anything bad happening to it. You would have to drop something heavy on it, or pour something on it. I've dropped my controller numerous times, and nothing has happened to it yet. It is still in nearly brand new factory specifications. I am truly amazed.

Overall, this controller is better than any of its counterparts. It deserves the "best controller" award in my book. Nintendo has come up with another masterpiece.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Cool but.........
Okay,the controller is cool,and it's design melts into your hand,but the quality isn't very good.After a week or two it starts to lose it's quality.The controller is made in china,so it isn't as good as the N64 controllers(Japan).So no matter how many times you do the L,R,and start button trick,nine times out of ten it doesn't work.The Madcatz controllers are way better.
Here's my rating:

Style:10/10

Controller functions:9/10

Quality:2/10

This controller beats down PS2 and Xbox controllers any day! The buttons are very creative, and in very good places. Here is what I think of the buttons:
A=Excellent
B=Excellent
C-stick=Great
Control-stick=Excellent
D-pad=Okay
L=Excellent
R=Excellent
X=Excellent
Y=Excellent
Z=Excellent
Overall=Excellent
So, there's my button review.Why do people hate the Z button? I think it is very cool.Here is my review of the features:
Cord=Okay
Feeling=Excellent
Position of buttons=Excellent
Overall=Excellent



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Flawed... yet still very cool
The N64 controller was, in my opinion, an excellent one. The Z trigger was at the underneath the analog stick and was perfect for playing games like Goldeneye. However it did have its flaws, mainly the small c buttons and the stupid white stuff that got into the analog stick.
Now the GCN controller. It has an analog stick that kicks the n64 one off the map. The L and R buttons are great, and the placement of buttons is unique. However it does have quite a few, but only minor, flaws. The first is the Z trigger. No more N64 like action here, it is placed all the way up next to the R button and is extremely hard to use, like using both the R1 and R2 PSX buttons at once. Hopeless for games like Perfect Dark 0. The second issue is how small the controller is, it becomes quite uncomfortable after a while, especially for older gamers, which the cube is meant to be designed for. Another minor problem is the colors... way too many grey buttons, they could have made the X button blue or something.
Anyway, its a great controller, better than the X BOX controller that doubles as a hammer and the PS2 one which was exactly the same as the PSX one
