      Just about everyone considers the lack of physical sticks and buttons to be the iPhone's biggest flaw. However, some games seem to get a free pass nd have controls that work great.

      What game has the best Virtual Controls on the iPhone?

      Minisquadron has some awesome virtual controls. The majority of Gameloft's titles also sport some very nice virtual controls.

      The virtual joystick is horrible. Virtual D-pads work way better (Zenonia). There are some games that do the joystick right like Mini Squadron but that's not saying much.

      I agree, MiniSquadron has some of the best controls I've tried yet for an App Store game. I really enjoy the controls in Meteor Blitz as well.

      I think he's talking about stuff like virtual joysticks, in which case only NOVA counts

      Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

      It's sickening how fantastic these controls work.

      most dual stick shooters have good controls, but meteor blitz has the best of them. also, space miner has great controls.

      if virtuals controls just mean touchscreen, warpgate also has a great control scheme, without virtual sticks which would have made it harder.

      Any game that DOES NOT have virtual controls have the best virtual controls.
      And no mention for Street Fighter IV? that game pulled of the controls flawlessly

      ya but it snipped out so much from the console version. It felt....slimmed down. Still, it did an admirable job

      Well I cant wait for Cammy, but if Capcom is adding characters hopefully they can get some extra content in too.
