4 of 5 Fun, but it takes some getting used to... Friday, October 24, 2008
A Gamer from New York, NY
The wheel is great, but it does take some getting used to. The biggest weakness is the pedals are not weighted or provide feedback as the wheel does. And they're spaced in a way that doesn't allow easy driving. That said, we all love the wheel and it makes for great fun at the office Was this review helpful?

Using this racing wheel adds a sense of realism to my Nascar '09 that I couldn't capture using the regular controller. The force feedback works great. It's let me taking my racing to a new level. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great Steering Wheel Sunday, April 27, 2008

Awesome wheel for the x-box 360. It takes about an hour or so to get used to different tracks or whatever racing game your playing but after that its so much easier to handle the cars. I'm hoping Nascar 09 is going to get a good grade this time so I can race side by side with cars smoothly instead of using the joystick on the controllers. I did have to use a piece of duct tape under the pedals because it does slide a little on the carpet I have in my house. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Wheel! Tuesday, April 22, 2008

This wheel is perfect for the games that it was designed for. It works really well for Forza 2 and Dirt but some of the arcade type racing games it doesn't work very well for, Juiced 2 in particular. If you buy a wheel for realism make sure the games you're playing are simulation. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great wheel Monday, March 31, 2008
A Gamer from Darien, CT
I pre-ordered this from buy.com and got totally screwed on the price as a result, but I don't regret buying this wheel. I played Forza 2 and PGR4 for at least 40 hours each while I waited for my wheel, and got pretty good. As others have mentioned, switching from xbox controller to wheel is tough. The cars (especially in Forza) will do things like go into barely-controllable oscillations using the wheel(like a tank-slapper on a motorcycle), but never with the controller. I have to believe the wheel driver for these games calls on more detailed game physics than the controller does. Nevertheless, you do learn to adapt, and I would never go back to using the controller for racing games.
To get the best from this or any wheel, it does need to be firmly anchored on something other than your lap. I built a frame to mount the wheel to, and I jam a heavy ottoman against the pedals, which works pretty well from my recliner. However, I'm certain one of those $300 dedicated racing seats with the mounting points for wheel and pedals would be totally worth it(to everyone except for my wife). Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Not worth the money Friday, March 21, 2008
A Gamer from Buffalo NY
The product was missing the installation disk, and when I called Microsoft support, not one person spoke English. They couldn't help me at all. I eventually gave up. The product overall is junk, using your controller is still easier to steer than using the wheel. The wheel is extremely "over" sensitive and bulky.
I would never recommend this product to anyone, and as far as Microsoft's support on this product, it couldn't be worse.
