Controlling The Fingertips
I definitely want to know what makes a good video game controller really work. I honestly think it is the way you play with it and hold it. For the Playstation 2, I definitely think the original controller Sony conjured is actually the way to go. The Dual Shock Controller is very simple to operate, and function with great games like Gran Turismo 4, Crash Tag Team Racing, and the earlier games for the original Playstation too. I also like this one becau se it is affordable and doesn't have many malfunctions like many third-party companies conjure controllers. This is a essential buy for anybody who wants a extra buddy to play with for the Playstation 2.

Buttons are easy to access, and the controller is comfortable
Though not as comfortable as the GameCube's controller, the PS2 Dualshock is a great controller. All buttons are easy to access, and feel natural to use. I am still using the original controller, and I haven't had any problems (it's at least 3 years old). It's been dropped and stepped on, and seems really durable. I've had no problems with my Sony PS or PS2 equipment (my original PS equipment still works perfectly, and it's from 1997).
Good but you should buy a wireless one
This is a great controller if you are one who sits really close to the TV. If you sit far away from the TV, everyone in your house will probably trip over it. It's happened to me many times. If you got this controller with the PS2, keep it as a backup but you should invest in a wireless controller. It will prevent "catastrofic accidents". It is, however, easier to use than a wireless controller because sometimes on the wireless ones, the buttons are harder and dont work as well.
