Games that got good on another console's controller

So recently I tried the Need for Speed: Most Wanted Demo for the 360 and PS3. I first played it for 360 and generally had a great time, and I usually don't like Racing games. However, When I played it on the PS3, something happened and I started hating it. I then tried playing them, back to back, and found that it was the controller that was the issue. For some reason, I was just better when I used a 360 controller. Yeah, it was easier and more comfortable using the PS3 controller, but turning with the PS3 Thumb stick just felt awkward. Maybe it's because I played driving sequences in games more the 360 (Driving sequences in games like Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, est.), or maybe it's just the PS3 controller. Has this ever happened to you? Keep in mind, this doesn't exclude all other game genres.

Reminds me how I love playing fighters on PS3 and hate playing them one the Xbox. Worst D-pad ever!

Umm. Shooting is easier with a mouse? That's all I can think of. Xbox to PS3? I don't notice a difference.

I actually preferred Ocarina of Time on the 3DS over the N64. Being able to switch items on the touchscreen rather than opening a menu really helped the flow of the game. Unfortunately, I was only playing on a friends 3DS, so I can't play through the whole game that way, but he told me the Water Temple in particular gets a bajillion times less frustrating.

This. No wonder everyone said "you need an arcade stick" when Street Fighter 4 came out, i was like "huh, what? oh you play it on Xbox...".

Not sure if the new controllers with the d-pad fix are better though, maybe its not a problem anymore.
