If you want full speed, just tilt the control stick all the way. You can also adjust sensitivity so just a small tap goes full speed. Not sure how digital buttons are more accurate to be honest...

... Seriously? You can't understand how digital buttons are more accurate than analog sticks? Really? That's pretty hard to believe... but if you really need some proof, go play a shmup with a d-pad, then attempt to play one (that actually allows it) with an analog stick. It's ... slightly more difficult ... with an analog stick, to say the least, because of how much easier precision is with digital controls. That's why controllers like the Gamecube had d-pads on them, because developers demanded it for the precise controls that some games need.

Nintendo does have more easily aimed analog sticks than most, thanks to their octagonal gates (instead of the round ones the other major console manufacturers use), but even they aren't as accurate as digital. And the 360 isn't from Nintendo. :)

Anyway, I definitely prefer moving with buttons, yes. That's one of my biggest problem with dual-stick shooter designs... I want movement on buttons, darnit! PC FPS controls are better. :) (Yes, yes, I'm sure you can eventually get used to dual-stick shooter controls. I'm not.)
