This review is from: Sony Official PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 Controller (PS2) (Video Game)
This controller is perfect – cheap immitations are incomparable! I’ve had my PS2 for almost 3 years and play games such as GTA:SA (which uses predominantly the four ‘action’ buttons) and TimeSplitters:FP (where the shoulder buttons and D-Pad take heavy duty) and I have suffered none of the ill effects that other reviewers describe, this doesn’t mean to say that they are all wrong, but I thought I had better share my good experience. The analog sticks take the most duty, the mistake that Nintendo had with their otherwise superb N64 controller was that these were very fragile, Sony’s conversely are very sturdy and very simple to use. The shoulder buttons take most criticism, and I often hear people say that they come out, in three years this hasn’t happened to me. I store my controller pads face up in a safe place, and never vent my frustration on my pads, and this formula has helped to keep my pads in immaculate condition.

The dualshock2 controller is identical to the orgininal dualshock, which was a favourite among gamers, apart from colour and the analogue feature.
This feature measures how hard you press a button. This is particually useful in driving games, pushing the accelerator button down hard will mean you “floor it” and speed off. While presing the same button lightly will mean you accelerate at a more relaxed pace.
I’ve had two dual shocks for over 4 years now, and if i’m totally hounest, I don’t treat them very well. They go flying accross rooms in frustration quite often, yet have still worked fine to this day.
All the buttons are easily accesible and the controller is comfy for hands of all sizes. Which is more than I can say for the XBOX and Gamecube contollers.
If you are looking to replace your current PS2 controller, or want to purchase more for multiplayer fun with friends and family, I would reccomend no other controller. Except no immitations and go with the official and best.

This review is from: Sony Official PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 Controller (PS2) (Video Game)
I have always been in love with the Sony controllers back in the early days of PSONE ,I always found it comfortable and intelligent piece of technology ,When the Dual shock got released with the late versions of PSONE I never thought to upgrade and I have decided to stuck with my old controller ,But I was a bit wrong ,That’s what I have discovered when I bought my PS2 the last year ,I was amazed by the Dual shock Controller 2 .
This controller is undoubtly is a value added for any PS2 Console ,I was thrilled by the interactive shocks and vibration it offers with so many games ,And I always thought to myself that the PS2 experience wouldn’t be completed without it ,With more and more advanced games to emerge and even some games with digital sound technology like Dolby Digital and THX Certified it became a must for the gamers ,The two square sticks in the middle of it is comfortable to use and I even use them for directing my character in various games .
I have only Two objection on this Controller ,It’s not covered by the Console’s Guarantee (That’s here in my Country ,I don’t know about other countries) so when it’s facing a problem or something or stopped working you have nothing but to buy a new one ,The other thing is that Sony doesn’t include two controllers but only includes one ,That’s of course profitable for them but I thought it would be cool to provide a console with two controllers instead of one ,To let the gamers enjoy the thrills of modern day games and multi users experience without the need to buy another (somewhat) costly one ,Well we will also have to wait and see what Sony is going do with the next generation of Controllers when it releases PS3 ,Surely it would be a technically marvelous ,but in the meantime let’s enjoy this generation and play till we drop un conscious!!
