I own an X-Box controller. It's pretty good. I just think of it as a good-quality, affordable gamepad - it's not like gamepads are somehow foreign as PC controllers. I've almost always had one for the PC, in case I planned to play games requiring one

As for driving sequences, it's more the fact that there seems to be a "tradition" of games with horrible vehicle controls in general. I think Grand Theft Auto had started this trend in action games of what Yahtzee called "a car that drives like it has another car strapped to its roof".
