After a period of having not used the PS2, I turned it on and put in
GTA Vice City. I found that the only control I had was the ability to
move around. I could not enter vehicles or use any form of weapon --
even just a fist. I then tried GTA III loading a saved game with
plenty of weapons to use, but again the only thing that worked was
cycling weapons and moving around. What happened????

sticky buttons? I'm assuming you've made sure the pad is seated
properly in its slot. To be honest they're not easy to reassemble if
you take them apart to clean them either. I am also assuming you have
only one pad so can't test another and make sure it isn't the socket
itself which is faulty? do you know anyone else with a ps2 you can
borrow a pad from?

I've never taken the controller apart since having bought the PS2. The
buttons move freely and don't seem to be stuck. I've made sure that
the controller is firmly inserted into the front of the box. I could
try to borrow a controller from some one, but it does seem that my
controller has just unexpectedly stopped working. I had wanted to
avoid having to get another controller, but having experienced the
same problem with the function buttons not working on GTA III, GTA: VC
and GTA: SA as well as a non GTA game it has to be that part of the
controller that just doesn't work anymore. Interestingly though, I can
skip the rockstar logo animation at game load by pressing X. I can
skip the GTA stories by pressing X, but that's about it.

Yeah, I was concerned that it might be the port, which is why I
suggested borrowing  a pad before buying one. You can get them at a
reasonable price though, but I have yet to find a third party one
which I found acceptable, which is a shame as they are usually much
cheaper.
