EGM had some good things to say about it. But that controller makes it a little hard to play, you need a table or something to set that on.

Your title is a tad misleading.

It's $200 for Steel Battilion and the Controller.

There are plenty of Flight Sim and Racing Wheel controllers for the PC that cost as much.

Even if it is for the game AND the controller, I still wouldn't buy it.
I don't play video games enough for it to be worth it

I'd buy it IF.......

1) They announced a series of games to use that controller. Otherwise, its 200 bucks for a controller I can only use on a game I probably wont play after I beat it. Kinda a one time shot thing. Come out with a series of games, so the controller can be used for more then just 1 game

2) I had 200 bucks (Thats kinda a big one there)

3) I had an Xbox (Thats a real big one there. No good having an Xbox game without an Xbox ya know?)

They have already announced there will be sequels that feature online play

I paid 350$ for a Konami Arcade Style IIDX controller (5,000 units made). If I had an Xbox and really liked that mech game (it would have to be really good), I would consider 200$. However, if the multiplayer in it wasen't good, that would kill it alltogether for me.

There is one HUGE difference though.. Most if not all third party controllers are compatible with a miriad of games; this particular controller is made for one game only and is not compatible with any other Xbox games.
