mt50 · 25 Jun 2007 at 17:25

hi, i'm starting to get back into pc games again now(can play them now i've got a good card) i've got a 360 pad that i like to use(dont like keyboard+mouse) so far i've only got trackmania united and toca 3 so i'm good for racing games, but what else works well with a pad? would BF2 work ok? it was fine on the 360 but guess the pc one has more buttons.
any kind of game really except strategy type games and stuff like WOW and lord of the rings
thanks

Dirt and Pro Evo 6 work great with it.

what do you need to get a 360 controller orking on the pc?

and is forza 2 available on pc?

You can get the wireless pad and usb adapter for £30, worth every penny. Or you can just get an adapter for the wired ones too.

Just need the driver if its wired

jongeeone · 25 Jun 2007 at 17:44

Aye only the driver is needed if its wired

NFS Series works well to

modo77 · 25 Jun 2007 at 17:46

Ah didn't know it was usb for the wired

Tomb Raider : Legend
Tomb Raider : Anniversary
Geometry Wars

The vehicles in Battlefield 2 work well with the pad, but if you like your infantry combat, the keyboard and mouse guys will probably own you.

i enjoyed playing Need for speed, Test drive unlimited on my friends xbox 360 so i think that would be a great choice, halo 2 when its out and Spinter Cell.

Mad_Jay · 25 Jun 2007 at 19:34

Im guessing Halo 2 would work pretty well too.

lost planet works wells too, at least the demo did

Cortex Command works well too.

Aye you're right, Halo 2 works great with the 360 control pad

Hi do not mean to high jack thread but maybe a silly question but when i heard that the wired 360 controller worked for pc my ears probed up silly question coming up > does the rumble work in dirt or any other game ?

cheers.
ps also a link to driver would be nice,reason i ask is i think theres a few out there and would like a decent one on the off. thx

Lost Planet works fine, they even left in "Press B to pickup" messages in the game.

Selekt0r · 26 Jun 2007 at 05:57

Geometry Wars

I used mine on Tomb Raider Anniversary and it worked great

I'd imagine Lost Planet will work excellent too when it comes out, since it's originally an Xbox 360 game.

yeah rumble works fine in dirt(the demo i tried)
oh and dirt/tomb raider preconfigure the control pad for you which is good i guess other games will too
as for the driver you don't need one just plug it in and it installs it for you
