Hi arcade gurus have any of you tried this? I bought an Xbox360 copy for my brother for Christmas and there are only a few reviews...one was kinda worrisome to me because it was saying that the controls were off on 720, ABP and Super Offroad.

I guess what I'm asking is if it's really that bad? I was looking for passable and thinking about buying me a PS3 copy since I can't afford all those cabs right now.(plus I get to try junk)
 
there is a current review discussion on cag. if you are really good at some of those games in the real environment the emulation might feel off according to one person. there is questionable input lag as well.

I was hoping it was a trial download on xbox but it isn't.

thanks but I'm mainly worried that it makes some games unplayable due to bad control mapping but I thought I'd ask some people with the real cabs(and don't get me wrong someday I want them but it takes $$$ I don't have right now). This seems like it might be true from some of the stuff I've seen so far...
 
720, APB and Super Off Road all use free spinning wheels (or equivalent) as controls, and the consoles don't have those so the controls will always seem a bit off to anyone used to the real thing.
 
i bought it tonight and tried a few games.

didn't notice any input lag.
love the menu layout.
love the fact that smash tv can be 2 player, the controls work great for smash tv.
emulation on robotron is worse than 19-1. plays awful with the xbox controller. that game is a throw-away on this disc. oh well. long live JROK!

the variety of games is going to be worthwhile. curious about games like toobin, spyhunter and marble madness which i have never played before.
