Any games use both sticks?

Unread post by misterrocks »

Here's a list of games that use an analog stick:

I tried a bunch of them but the only one I could find that uses both sticks is Saltwater Sportfishing. Do any of the others?

Alien Resurrection?

Wikipedia

Steven Garrett of GameSpot criticised the then-uncommon dual analogue stick control scheme, describing the game as "almost unplayably difficult to control and unreasonably hard to enjoy".[15] Despite this, the control scheme would soon become standard for first-person shooters on consoles.[1] GamePro said that the game was "a fine first-person shooter, but unless you're a big fan of the films, there are even better options (Medal of Honor, Quake II) out there

Interesting, loved that game but wasn't aware it was the first to sport this control scheme? Also one of the early/earliest console games to feature pseudo 3D stereo sound.

The way of controlling FPS with a dual stick controller was in the air when Alien Resurection was launched.

Alien Resurection was released on October 11th 2000 and Timesplitters on the PS2 was released on October 23rd 2000 and Medal of Honor Underground on the PS1 on October 24th 2000, all had the same control scheme.
