We've Got Spirit, How 'Bout You?
David A. Dodson

Not long ago, Pelican revolutionized Xbox controller design with the creation of the Eclipse Wireless controller. Incredible RF range, compact case and convenient Black and White shoulder button layout made the Eclipse the next step in the Xbox's evolution. Now they've improved upon their own creation the only way they could, they've made it even lighter. Boasting all the Eclipse's innovations plus a fifty-foot range and a three hundred hour battery life, the Spirit Wireless Controller promises to be an essential addition to your Xbox system.

But does it deliver? Like obstetrician at a rabbit farm. It's no secret that Pelican has perfected RF gaming technology in previous lines, and the Spirit Wireless is no exception. We were playing from several houses away with perfect reception and no lag time. The only real surprise here was Pelican's decision to drop the rumble feature to facilitate the smaller housing and increase battery life. Whether this was a worthy sacrifice will probably vary from player to player.

All in all, this is a great wireless controller with some outstanding features. And the fact that it can be bought for under thirty bucks makes it all the sweeter. The Spirit Wireless Controller for the Xbox can be found most anywhere games are sold. For more info, check out www.PelicanPerformance.com.
