(More customer reviews)I admit it. I'm a STAR WARS geek. And I'm proud of it. So naturally, given the opportunity to spend money on a controller that's got a special button that's marginally useful in only one game, I picked it up. And you know, I don't care. It's a fine little controller. Dumb, kinda, because, really, the XBOX controller that comes with the unit is, on balance, better, but it doesn't have these nifty Darth Vader side grips.
Why is what's "free" better than this add on? Well, the Jedi Hunter is maybe 30% smaller than the now-standard "mini" XBOX controller. It therefore takes some getting used to. But this isn't all negative. To be honest, I'm increasingly liking the smaller version. Maybe because I'm using the wireless version, there's something kinda cool about having a controller that can be so easily stowed away. My growing love of this smaller size extends only so far, however. The joystick buttons just feel a little too flimsy sometimes in games that really make use of them. Ironically REVENGE OF THE SITH, the game for which the controller is made, is one such game. And, dangit, it's sometimes quite a chore to execute a move that requires pressing on the thumbstick button in the middle of a larger button sequence. I don't know why, exactly, but they don't have that same reliable "click" of the standard controller. I've actually found myself going back to the standard controller while playing REVENGE and then using the Jedi Hunter for most other games.
Otherwise, though, Intec has wisely chosen not to alter the position of the buttons, as was common to the first generation of 3d party controllers. So at least you're not fighting against instinct when trying to get used to this new controller. They may be smaller buttons, but at least they're in the "right" place.
On balance, then, it's nothing revolutionary. Most people probably don't even know this controller exists, and there's nothing about the design that screams "BUY ME NOW!" But it is a competent controller, at a completely reasonable price. Because both the wired and wireless versions of the Jedi Hunter (as opposed to the Jedi/Sith 2-pack) are black, the casual observer would be hard-pressed to notice the Vader markings on it. It's a very low-key STAR WARS design that probably only the user would appreciate. It would make, I think, a nice stocking stuffer for the STAR WARS-lovin', XBOX-playin' members of your household. Especially those who want to keep their love of STAR WARS as secret as the Sith.
