The coolness of
a game controller is judged by three main factors: how many features it
sports, how comfortable it is, and how awesome it looks. Going by these
criteria, Pelican's AfterGlow Pro for the PS2, GameCube and Xbox may very
well be the coolest controllers on the market.
Modeled after their groundbreaking PS2 Chameleon, GameCube G3, and Xbox
Eclipse controllers, Pelican's AfterGlow Pro has all of the standard features
that you could want: dual analog sticks, twin rumble motors, multi-directional
D-pad, etc. Add to that the special functions of each model, such as the
PS2 AfterGlow Pro's stepped down R2 and L2 buttons, the GameCube AfterGlow
Pro's turbo setting and the Xbox AfterGlow Pro's shoulder mounted Black
and White button triggers, and you can see why these are such truly astounding
controllers And the sturdy, clear plastic bodies and rubberized grips
make them exceptionally durable and comfortable.
But the Afterglow Pro's true claim to coolness is the LED lighting effects
built into the clear plastic case. Drawing power directly from their respective
consoles, the controllers shine with a groovy blue (PS2), red (GameCube)
or green (Xbox) hue when in use. Also, the center Pelican logo constantly
phases between six different colors. Very cool.
Bottom line is if you've been looking for a comfortable, solid, well thought
out controller for your favorite system that also happens to be heavy
on the style, then Pelican's AfterGlow Pro is the one for you. For about
twenty bucks you can get one anywhere games are sold or online at one
of the retailers listed at PelicanPerformance.com.
