Super Saiyan Power at Your Fingertips
When we saw the review of Dragonball Z SS3 Goku vs. Majin Buu, we expected it to be some new Japan-only fighting game based on the infamous franchise. We were wrong. It turns out that this is the longest name for a PlayStation 2 controller ever - and a nice controller at that. The body of the controller puts a huge image of Dragonball Z's Goku under your left hand and Majin Buu under right, and it's all under a hefty clear coat so they'll stay there despite sweat and scratches. If you're a fan of the little blonde guy and remember his battle with the little purple wizard, you'll think this controller looks sweet. Otherwise you'll just think it's plastered in some over the top anime-style graphics.
The SS3 doesn't just look over the top, it actually performs well, too. The shape and button placement are well thought out and all the controls are responsive. About the only complaint IGN can come up with is that the cord is only six feet long; then again the regular PS2 controller only has six feet of cable too, so it's not any worse than the original and it looks a helluva lot cooler.
