Editorial Reviews :
Is that an earthquake? No, it's the Eliminator AfterShock Game Pad with Rumble Feedback. For pulse-pounding gaming action you can feel, this game pad comes alive in your hands. Now you can literally feel the explosions & take the hits along with your favorite game character. With 2 independent controls, you can turn side-to-side as you run or hit the accelerator as you steer. Because it's Plug-and-Play compatible, this controller is easy to install so you experience immediate action.
Buyer Reviews :
Great Pad, but Let me give some tech advice so that you can go into using this product without any problems.
One person said:
'I bought this and plugged it in immediatly and tried to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (tm) with it, and the d-pad wouldn't function correctly. Its great for racing games and stuff like that, but if you want to use the d-pad, get a different controller with a d-pad that waorks.'
So here is some adviece for all who want to use this product but are worried about not having full use of the buttons on the gamepad:
what was failed to be realized is that if you want the d-pad to function as a d-pad control, you must go access the gravis experience applet and change the axis on the gamepad to x-y. It will of course disable the left analog stick. That way he can use the gamepad as he sees fit, if he wants to use the analog, he just needs to go back in and reset the controls. You want to know how to use other programing features just read the applets built in help file it is really easy to use.
You will find all sorts of other fun programmibility in the gravis applet to let you set different types of forcefeedback to different buttons, This is good for games without feedback capabilities, you can have sensations when playing the older games. I think this is wonderful gamepad, and is a perfect upgrade over the classic, gravis gamepad pro, for those of you wanting basically a playstation dualshock controller. Make sure to experiment with the gravis applet and you will be happy about the ease of programability that gravis is known for.
The only reason I give this review 4 stars, is because the fact that setting a control to the same setting axis as an another, disables other control. I personally would like control of both gamepads to be able to switch to which ever feels better on the game I'm working on. But that is a minor quelm since I am happy with the analog controls for most games.
I must also warn that if you are use to running a gravis gamepad pro, that this joystick is a whole lot bigger and chunkier. You will have to get accustomed to the wierd new feel of it, but overall shape is comefortable. The uncommon position of the analog sticks turns out to be far more cofortable and natural than the comparable Console system analog sticks.
I hope you find my review useful, in make your choice about this wonderful purchase. Most of all have fun.
