A little extreme, don't you think? Yes, the 360 pad sucks, but some people still like it better than the PS3 pad (me). Anyway, I use a stick (of course).
For the game, I am surprised how much I am enjoying it. I have zero nostalgia for the NES version because I never played it, and the arcade version never really grabbed me. I say I am surprised because I thought a game with a map and different kinds of levels and some top-down stuff thrown in would put me off. But, it hasn't.
There's also a ton of content with all the challenge rooms and the "database" to read through (I don't know why I like the database). I like how most of the new equipment you pick up (not the weapons) just gets used automatically and doesn't interfere with grappling and shooting.
I also think the two-player game is great. It isn't just a throw away addition; it works very well and I'm playing it through with a friend.
The bosses bother me at first because I don't like thinking about things. Even after reading the "hacked" information, I had to die several times at the tank because I didn't know where or what to do. Actually, all of the bosses so far except one have been a little annoying. But, after figuring out what to do and replaying the level, they are fun.
