After playing Forza 2 using the standard controller for about a year, this wheel took a LOT of getting used to, but perseverance and practice pays off big time. It genuinely feels like your in a race and that's when you realise real-life driving skills are so much more important to master.
I have no big gripes with this wheel but would like to make a few comments.
You've got to clamp it to a desk for stability, I had no luck using it on my lap – couldn't keep it steady enough during intense races.
If you're solidly built you might feel it a little in the shoulders due to the small diameter wheel – no big deal, just take breaks and don't race for hours on end.
Don't let your old man use this wheel, he'll get carried away and won't give it back.
If you're even remotely interested in driving simulators, buy Forza and buy the 360 Racing Wheel, you won't regret it. So much fun (and frustration to begin with), but it's as real as it gets.
Although you look at the price and squeal, especially considering you can buy
the Madcatz alternative for $79, you just can't beat the quality in this
official one.
It also includes PGR3 in the box, which you may not even realise.
The Wheel itself is strong and sturdy, and buttons are all good etc.
I find it good that you don't have to rely on a battery pack and that you have the option to plug it in to a wall socket as otherwise it simply would be a pain to charge batteries constantly.
The Pedals Set is comfortable, and is the best i've tried on the Market.
Seriously, Buy it now!
The wheel itself is good quality, made well and has force feedback for all the games you love, sadly thou is the lack of game support for it. Forza and PGR series seem to work fine as its wat the wheel was based upon but the likes of colin mcrae rally leaves you wondering why it wasnt included in the design and setup for this game. One touch of the wheel sends you into a tree leaving you speechless as to wat just happen, has no response what so ever. Even after spending 1 hour calbiration on it made no differnce but due to the price paid and it coming with games i wont complain as it was a good deal.
Just bought this wheel especially for forza 2 and its superb! other past wheels i have tried were to sensitive and flimsy, but this wheel feels robust and you can tell when driving that it is quality! when racing on forza 2 it feels like u are driving the car for real! a must have for forza!!!!
Great build quality, solid feel, good response, good force feedback (works
well with PGR3), but not for use on your lap since it keeps moving around and
slipping off, almost needing one hand to hold it down and the other to handle
the wheel. I would say that it is great as long as you can use the clamp to
clamp it onto a table. I wish MS had put extenders on that you can pull out to
push/grip on the outside of your legs like the MadCatz wheels have.
Although it is wireless (connecting to the xbox 360) you still need power cable
wires and wire connecting the wheel to the pedal :) I'm giving it 4 stars (and
not 5) due to not being able to use this on your lap IMO.
