Hori Fighting Stick 3 Review

A good majority of you watching this video are too young to remember, but there was a time that you could purchase a fighting game for your home console and not have to make a huge investment into a fighting stick. In most cases the controller that came with your Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo was more then adequate, and if you needed to purchase a third party controller it would make no more then a thirty dollar dent in your wallet. Well the good old days are long gone and game/hardware developers are more then glad to take hundreds of dollars out of your wallet so you can have that "authentic" arcade experience. However, There is light at the end of the tunnel . With the seventh Generation of consoles entering their twilight years, alot of older accesories are becoming very affordable. That is where the "Fighting Stick 3" steps in. It was released by Hori in 2007 and works seamlessly with both the PC and Playstation 3, but with an asking price of sixty to eighty USD and a slew of other sticks on the market, does this nearly four year old controller hold up to the competition?
