This peripheral fails on both levels--as a simulation device and as a gaming device.
Not only does the wheel only rotate 270 degrees (versus a car steering wheel which can rotate a minimum of 720 degrees), it also is set to an unadjustable height. For this reason, it feels very gamey.
At the same time, instead of improving your game immersion and experience, it plays the role of a major set back in games. In games where I previously played on expert level for most courses, I am now stuck on beginner setting and am struggling.
Force feedback does not work on the PC, even with games where a regular Xbox 360 controller has force feedback. Also, force feedback doesn't work at all unless it's plugged in--which I can understand for reserving battery life, however it somewhat defeats the point of a "wireless" peripheral.
I purchased microsofts original sidewinder usb force feedback steering wheel for my windows 98 machine a decade ago. It was just as terrible (and used a majority of the same parts!). The only reason I bought this was because it was on clearance at Target for $70 and I have been playing a lot of racing games lately. I wish I had bought fable 2 for my 360 instead of this thing...
It takes a lot of room to store this (obviously, as true for any large gaming peripheral such as Wii Fit or Guitar controllers).
