Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant brilliant brilliant Comment: If you liked Forza and PGR3 + 4 before, you will find this brings a new level to your racing games. Since I got this a week ago, I hav barely been off Forza2 and my mates are coming round all the time to play too! A fantastic piece of kit and very very recommended to enhance all your racing games Customer Rating: Summary: Is It Me Or Do Microsoft Have An Overheating Problem With The 360!!!! Comment: Apparently, a number of users have been having problems with the steering wheel - problems like it starting to spew out plumes of black, resinous smoke when used in wired mode. It's speculated that, since the problem only occurs when the power supply is in use, that it may not be a fault with the wheel per se, but rather a problem with the rest of the system. Microsoft has suggested that all 360 users refrain from using the wheels in the mean time and have sent out press releases to get the word out. Still, we may as well take this chance to ask: how little do Microsoft know about overheating when even the official steering wheel is bursting into flames? Anyway, overall a good unit. Fun to use - unless it bursts into flames!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Wheel connectivity Comment: Got the wheel as have previously used a Microsoft force feedback PC wheel so knew what to expect. Force feedback and control was as expected but the wireless connection to the console kept dropping out whilst playing a game, every minute or so (really annoying). Spoke to XBox support and they advised returning it; so I did. Haven't repurchased as yet as Amazons price keeps fluctuating. Customer Rating: Summary: This wheel is awfull Comment: If you want to get a decent steering wheel then dont buy this one, people who buy this have wasted their money!! Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing!! Comment: When i bought it i was worried that the force feedback would not work on my games. But luckily it did and it works amazingly on Forza 2 which is a really good game, Forza 2 was really fun with just the controller but now I have the steering wheel it has become a completely new game (in a much better way of course). I only ever use it when it is plugged into the wall so i can use the force feedback because that is what the wheel is all about If you have forza 2 then I would highly recommend buying this wheel.
