Ok, so this wheel is pretty awesome for the price. Not sure if this is the wheel or the game, though. I'm not a big fan of the GT series, but I do like Need for Speed (right now I'm playing Undercover).What I like: power and data cables are very long, clamps work well (I have a 2" thick table I use), pedals are awesome on carpet and have a firm feel, the PS3-specific button layout is similar to the Dualshock's, the rubber-gripped steering wheel doesn't slip, the force-feedback feature is forceful and feels accurate, and the self-calibration routine the thing does whenever you power it on or start a racing game is like something out of a movie.What I don't like: in NFS Undercover, the vibration feature sometimes feels more like a jack-hammer. It's so severe sometimes that I fear something will break inside. Also, the buttons seem a bit flimsier than the Dualshock controller's. The plastic construction made me a little worried about the longevity of the wheel, but I've put about 20 hours on the wheel so far and it's still just like new.So, overall, at a hundred bucks it's a 5 star wheel.
This wheel makes racing games so much more enjoyable and realistic, the key being a good mounting surface on which to use it. I've been using it in both Dirt and Dirt 2 as well as an NFS game. It is much easier to "drive" a car with this wheel than with a standard PS3 controller.
I bought this for my grandson. Both he and his dad love it.They said you actually feel like you are driving a car. Turnedout to be a great gift.
The wheel came well-packaged and in a very timely manner. The wheel came in perfect condition and there was no parts that needed to be assembled. The wheel is very sturdy and feel like it was well worth the cost.
The best, it gives real feeling of driving a race car, a lot of fun, we enjoyed the whole family, recommend.
