Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: awesome wheel Comment: this thing works on the computer as well as ps3. I used it for nascar 2003 on the pc and arca sim racing. everything works well and you can custom set up all the buttons on the wheel. I used it for [...] and it works good on that also. And it works great on ps3 for grand turismo prologue. Awesome wheel overall. Good substitute for the G-25 and half the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Playstation 3 Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel Comment: I have been playing PS3 racing games for a while. Titles like GT Concept, GT5 Prologue, EA F1, Ferrari Challenge and Burnout. Previously I was playing them with the Sixaxis control which is a very good control but the racing wheel is a lot better since you can have a better control over the amount of force applied to the gas or brake pedals than in the 3 steps pressure sensitive Sixaxis. At the very beginning I needed to get used to the wheel response over the game but after a while you feel that you have better control over any car of these games when cornering than with the Sixaxis. The only game I haven't tried with the GT Racing Wheel from the previously mentioned is Burnout Paradise because I have been playing with the bikes at the game. For the other games I believe the wheel gives you better control when cornering, step on the gas and brake pedals and the shifting gears on the wheel lets you forget about the shifting stick, this way you can shift gears with both hands on the wheel. On my previous gaming console (PS2) I was using a Madcatz wheel, which I sold after a couple of months because calibration was different for every game and I didn't liked the thing that I was able to turn the wheel endless each way. This GT Racing Wheel calibrates by itself (at least for this games) and it has one and a half turns each way like in a real car. The only downside I find on this product is that the pedals are too close. I'm a big feet adult and I think it would be great if pedals were a half inch more separated than they are, this way I could use the pedals with just one feet. Customer Rating: Summary: I do not regret this purchase Comment: I first made the huge mistake of buying the PS3 Madcatz wheel w/ pedals instead of the Logitech simply b/c the Madcatz was a lot cheaper. I learned why. It's horrible! So the next day, I returned it and bought the Logitech. This I do not regret! The Logitech works for every car game I've used it for (2 of the Burnout series) and it drives great! Yes, the wires are annoying, but that's a small price to pay for having a wheel/pedals that actually work right! However, the Logitech has a strong force feedback so if you have a weak table or don't like the shaking and jerking around, then don't buy it. All I can say is, it's a lot like the driving games in arcades where you sit in the seats. Also, it is kinda like Exorcist when it spins around when it's first booted up and all so fair warning. When it first happened, my boyfriend didn't know it would and he thought it was possessed until I told him that's supposed to happen lol. Overall though, I've had this product for a week now whereas I only had the Madcatz for a day. What does that tell ya? Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent. Comment: Excellent product. Superb for GT Prologue. Only reason for 4 stars is "WIRES". Too much wires in your room. If you play with lights off, remember them. Customer Rating: Summary: Must have for anyone into driving games! Comment: Driving games are a blast with this wheel...feels like driving a real car! Mash the pedal down and fly through some curves...NON STOP FUN! Makes Grand Turismo 5 come alive! More Reviews
