4 out of 5 stars Well, it's not a game but...   February 24, 2008
The controller is nice. Solid construction makes for a nice hefty feeling although the stick itself is a little "loose" feeling for my personal taste. A must for anyone who likes to play fight games. I got it to play Tekken 5 DR Online.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!   August 23, 2007
If you have mame emulator and Roms you will love this cheap and reliable arcade stick. It says that it only works with Playstation 3 games, but with the latest firmware update it also works with Playstation 1 and 2 games on the PS3. It might work on the Xbox 360 but i havent tried it since i don't own one. If you have a wii, Hori made a fighting stick made especially for the wii, but I'm not sure if they sell it at Amazon.com. I highly recommend this product.


4 out of 5 stars Its so good I bought 2!   August 20, 2007
It works great on Tekken DR, Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur 3 (PS2), and Mortal Kombat 2 (PSN). I ordered 1 at first then when I got it I had so much fun playing with my friends that I bought another one so we could play those fighting games the way they were ment to be played.....WITH A JOYSTICK! This is a great buy for the price.


3 out of 5 stars Solid Joystick For a Good Price   August 19, 2007
 7 out of 9 found this review helpful

The Hori Fighting Stick 3 is a solid entry in Hori's line of joystick products. As the only arcade stick widely available for the Playstation 3 in the USA, it has some big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it comes through in most areas. It's the best in its class and with the new backwards-compatibility updates to the PS3, you can even use this with your favorite PS1 and PS2 games.

The HFS3 offers a Japanese style ball-top joystick with 8 Japanese style convex face buttons. The stick and buttons are all very responsive and perform extremely well in the most intense situations. The joystick has a very sturdy outer case and weighs a respectable 3lbs. It also comes with rubber feet allowing you to comfortably play on a hard surface or your lap. A minor gripe I have about this joystick is the button layout which forces your hand to be in a slightly awkward and uncomfortable position but is definitely not a deal-breaker.

I found this joystick to be terrific in 3D fighting games and have no gripes about it at all. However, when it comes to 2D fighting games, this joystick falls a little short. Most fighting game aficionados will know the importance of circular motions in order to keep your competitive edge. Sadly, this joystick comes with the Japanese standard square restrictor-plate. I find it very difficult to pull off complex combos requiring lots of circular rotations.

If you feel confident enough to do a little modification, you can easily fit a Sanwa JLF and an octagon restrictor-plate into this stick. This is a great option since it comes with such a low-price tag giving you some wiggle room for upgrades.

Overall, I think this is a solid purchase for anyone that wants to expand their fighting game experience. I thoroughly enjoy playing fighting games on the Playstation 3 more because of this stick and have a lot of fun playing some older PS1/PS2 games with it as well.



4 out of 5 stars must have controller for virtua fighter 5 for ps3   April 5, 2007
this makes virtua fighter 5 for ps3 much better. If you like that game I recommend buying this.

This stick makes the combos so much easier to do.

The stick works great for using the xmb and shutting down the system.

My only gripe, but it may be a VF5 issue is that the stick seems to sensitive, you need to press things lightly to get the combos right.
