Halo Wars

also since it was developed for xbox 360 the controls are excellent and easy to work with.
from www.amazon.com
it seems like a big challenge to put an rts on a console and control it with a gamepad, but it works really well.
from www.amazon.com
the controls are easy to master, the economics are easy to understand, and the game is well balanced.
from drtek90, www.newegg.com
interesting campaign cons: not really a game type that was meant for an xbox controller.
from www.amazon.com
every rts that hits a console has always had the trouble of ease of use when it comes to controls.

Pure for Xbox 360

from www.amazon.com
this might actually make the game sound a little intimidating, but pure gives you plenty of tutorials, practice runs and control schemes to make sure that you'll find something that works for you.
from www.amazon.com
gameplay (5 out of 5): excellent mix between arcade and off-road semi-simulation, while is more focus into the arcade style you will need to master both if you want to win, the controls are really

unlike other atv racing games the controls are balanced perfectly between "they dumbed this down so any idiot can play" and "this is so realistic that the tiniest bit of driving mistake will make you

i can only decribe this game as being a rollercoaster ride of a game with simple controls allowing for very precise and complex maneuvers.
from www.amazon.com
these two had gotten control of the game and they were modifying their own atv's and doing things which i dont think they could do in real life.

UFC 2009 Undisputed

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i love this game - it has some major depth but at the same time someone can pick up the controller for the first time and ko someone in 6 seconds..
from www.amazon.com
the controls are rough to polish that is no question but that is somewhat expected if the developers are trying to truly make a solid mma game.
from www.amazon.com
the most important part of a game like this, the fighting engine, handles nearly perfect, although the control scheme is a little complicated (you control the height at which you attack with lt/lb
from www.amazon.com
the controls are good although they take a little getting used to but it won't be long before your dishing it out like a pro.

Resident Evil 5

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the first is that if you've played re4 the controls for arming, targeting, and firing are almost the same is the previous game which makes it a little easier, and the second is that unlike the said
from www.amazon.com
this game is a must buy though some parts of the actual game play sucks like the inventory,the dumb zombies,and controls can get hard to master,but the game is so beautiful to see and tons of action
from www.amazon.com
also there is a good touch of the game "dark sector" which in my opinion plays out a lot better control wise than re5, when you play you'll just sense it.
from www.amazon.com
gameplay: we all know the complaints so might as well say them: tank controls, lack of strafe, no jump back and inability to move to different sides of cover...well okay that's a new feature but
from www.amazon.com
the controls were difficult to control at first, but you get used to it after a few hours.

Gears of War 2

from Tyz, www.newegg.com
the bots in this game even though casual is to bots it's like your average gamer who has played most gun games and knows the controls, when you put the difficulty on hardcore its way harder you find
from www.amazon.com
so even though i was not very found of the game at first, i have to give it a lot credit for story line, graphics and innovative control.

Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition

$22.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it took a little bit to get used to the xbox controller coming from the other battlefield series on the computer, but overall it was easy and worth it.
from www.amazon.com
i got over it quickly because i was just getting used to some of the controls, but that's the only not realistic part of the game.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the controls don't take getting used to at all, infact i think this game's controls make the most sense out of any fps ive played on 360.
from www.amazon.com
+gameplay: the controls are easier than cod4, like you can crouch with the analog stick, and instead of pretending to be real and doing a 7.5 of 10 job, this game just says "let's have some
from www.amazon.com
i much prefer the controls you have with the xbox.

Brothers in Arms: Hell''s Highway

$25.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
on that topic, the tank levels were alright, but the tank controls are the wonkiest vehicle controls i have possibly ever seen in a video game (akin to the terrible mako controls in mass effect).
from www.amazon.com
squad controls- actually very flawless, there is sometimes where your bazooka guy wont shoot right away but he does once u put down some fire and supress the enemy, its pretty easy to manage 2 squads
from www.amazon.com
i had the most fun when the game gives me two squads to control.
from www.amazon.com
its fun to control different units in the game.
from www.amazon.com
i encourage everyone to try the game first on the easy level just to get use to the controls.

they know it is superior to the controller, because in online-multiplayer mode they have options that would ban keyboard and mouse users from playing with controller users.
from www.amazon.com
look at that they are all available on the xbox, if you are use to that welcome ut3 and its smooth controls.
from www.amazon.com
i own both versions of the game (360 and ps3) the ps3 version plays better as i feel the 360 version has controller lag?
from www.amazon.com
the controls are almost flawless.
from www.amazon.com
i've noticed that they improved the 360's version , by tweaking the core controls with a 'minor' aim assist , i noticed that the bullets track a little better and behave more realisticly.

the sound and controls (despite the directional pad on the xbox) are spot on.

the graphics look just like they've done years earlier, and the control is very easy to pick up with the gameplay.

this will be a con for those who throw their controllers in frustration :p other thoughts: there's not much of a story, but a story isnt what this game is about!
from T, www.newegg.com
the camera controls are good if you know what to do.
from inkstainz77, www.newegg.com
pros: absolutely break-neck pacing or as one of my friends stated, "it's a controlled siezure." the camera "woes" people complain about are minute to nonexistent.

to let anyone else mess with it, so although two players can control the game at the same time it works best for those times when you're alone in the house or after everyone else has gone to bed.

the open-ended nature of the game is its best feature, and it really makes you feel like you are in control of the game's environment.

after opening the package, i popped in the disc intending to play for about 20 minutes or so; i just wanted to get the feel of the game and controls.
