User Perspective
The Good:
- Provides excellent arcade feel
- Responsive arcade-like controls (in DOA4, unknown in other fighting games)
- Built to be played for DOA4
- Corded so batteries dying is not a worry
- Nicely designed exterior of Kokoro
The Bad:
- Limited use mainly for fighters (lacks R stick control)
- May be too bulky for some
- Not wireless
- Bumper buttons a little too far away to actually use during a fight
- At the moment, DOA4 is the only game that can use this
The Verdict:
Excellent arcade stick, although required me to have some transition time from the much stiffer Sega Saturn's Virtua Stick. If the current 360 controllers aren't good enough for you to play fighting games at your limit, the DOA stick is a nice way to go. But be warned, not a good controller for any other type of game besides fighting or just going through the menus.
