| 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  At least it's a solid platform-, By = Fun: This review is from: Xbox 360 WWE All Stars Brawl Stick (Accessory) This stick is decent for the price, but it certainly has its problems. It's more a matter of getting what you pay for, but I'll get to that later. Certain features work as advertised. The lock/unlock switch is nice, but you have to do some wild mashing to hit that guide button, as it's pretty far removed from the stick and buttons. I've never had to use this feature, but it's nice if you mash it out to a serious degree. I personally haven't used the turbo-function, as using turbo anything is typically frowned upon. The stick is also pretty weighty. They aren't joking when they say that the Brawl stick sports a "heavy metal base." It gives the Brawl stick a very solid feel, and it won't move in your lap during heated, mash-tastic gameplay. My gripe lies with the buttons. I will say that the stock stick is fairly responsive and accurate, but I had problems with the buttons after about a week of normal play. The buttons were responsive and sensitive at first (though perhaps a bit mushy), but soon a couple of the buttons began getting stuck. While I'm sure that some people will get a lot of life out of the stock buttons, I imagine that just as many will encounter problems with the buttons eventually, and these problems may arise sooner than expected. I've never modded a fight stick before, so this gave me an excuse to try a small mod. I purchased some Seimitsu screw-in buttons and got them in without any problems whatsoever. There's plenty of videos and forums online that have instructions for modding this stick. The only tools I needed to swap the buttons were a screwdriver and a cloth to help me with gripping the quick disconnects on the stock buttons. Modding takes a slight bit of bravery though, as it voids your warranty, so you shouldn't mod if you don't feel too good about breaking the rules, or if you don't think that you're capable of pulling the mod off without damaging your fight stick. Still, this stick is widely regarded as being very easy to mod, and it's perfect for people who don't want to pay TE prices, yet want to have the option of dropping TE quality parts down the road. With that said, modding out one of these sticks can get expensive. I purchased this stick when it was being sold for , and the buttons cost me another . I also recently purchased a Sanwa joystick and ball-top, which is another . I'm basically spending 0 dollars on this stick. So, compared to the Mad Catz TE, I'm really only saving about - dollars. If you're a casual player and you're looking for a stick for some light play, then this stick fits the part. If you're looking to save a few bucks, and are handy with a screwdriver, then you have a solid platform that can be made into a TE-quality stick. But if you're looking for a stick that will take a lot of abuse over the long-term, then this probably isn't the stick for you. If you want a stick that's high-quality out of the box, without any modding required, you may want to consider dropping a few extra bucks for a TE, or perhaps one of the pricier Hori sticks.  Decent starter stick, By Option_1 (Michigan) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Xbox 360 WWE All Stars Brawl Stick (Accessory) I read a lot of the reviews for this stick and the Tekken 6 limited ED wireless 360 controller before deciding on this one (it helped that it was a daily deal). I used to be a big fighting game guy- starting with the original Neo Geo home console system (Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, World Heroes, etc) stopping with Marvel vs Capcom 2 on PS2. Having used every arcade stick and pad in between I wanted to get back into the world of "footsies and normals" with SSFIVAE, MvC3, and [hopefully] SFxT. I wanted to make sure a Mad Catz fight stick was best for me before shelling out 0+ dollars on a TE Stick. After a half dozen hours with MvC2 (XBLA), this stick proved to be an excellent investment to that end. Unfortunately, there are a few more negatives then positives: Pros: -Stick is heavy and feels solid -Good cord range -Decent XBL headset support (way better then the fightpads -_-) -***Hori stick feels sharp, and smooth- just like an arcade stick should feel and respond*** -Overall size is good. Fits on your lap and makes for a comfortable fighting session. However, the downward angle on the front half of the controller works sometimes, feels strange other times. Cons: -Ugly. I don't know who approved this artwork, but that DOES NOT look like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Triple H looks okay (even though I'm not a WWE or wrestling fan). -Buttons. They feel very cheap- responsive, but cheap. -Again, buttons. At first even slightly grazing a button will result in a press which becomes insanely frustrating when navigating menus, character select screens, and ultimately- nailing combos. After some use it has eased off a bit and happens less frequently (possibly just from my getting used to it). Even sometimes if you move the stick in just the right way it thinks a button is being pressed. -The ball is a little bit loose when it comes to sitting on the peg properly. Sometimes a DP from P2 side makes the ball become slightly unscrewed. Despite its flaws, I really like this stick. Overall it feels good and beats using a 360 pad hands down. DO NOT take this to a tournament with you under any circumstances but if your not sure if you really want a TE stick or not this does a good job of showing you the "feel" of a stick and flat button layout. After getting in some good practice getting bodied on XBL- I'll make the jump to a TE stick with confidence. I'll probably still keep this around in case a friend comes over for some local dueling. Ok arcade stick for its price, By = Fun: This review is from: Xbox 360 WWE All Stars Brawl Stick (Accessory) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The stick is poor but the buttons have great response time. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for. |
