Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel This instant


OK, after getting schooled by the 13 year old Halo III expert, was time for dad to have his day. Despite the crying and begging, we did not get another first person shooter, "Dad wants to race cars" I had the boys set it up in the living room while I finished up some work. Initially, they were less than impressed, "Dad, it doesn't work very well." "Hmm. Did you plug it in for the force feedback?" I am a consumate instruction reader, the kids are of the wonderful text message and instant gratification generation. Ok, so maybe my gen X started it, theirs perfected it.

After plugging it in what a difference! the Forza 2 demo was only one track long. After growing weary of the demo game we IMMEDIATELY drove back to the store. We discovered Forza 2 is almost impossible to find even post Xmas. However, since my instructionly challenged teenagers never took the time to connect the surround sound and high definition television we did buy and take home a new high def tv connector and optical digital audio cable to use our home stereo surround system. We bought the most advanced non Forza 2 they had on the shelf and hurried home.

WOW! the sub woofer and surround speakers and life-like background on the TV... we spent the next six hours sweating as we took turns in the front room racing and crashing $1M Ferrari Enzos, listening to the engines coming from behind us on the 2,000 watt sound system. With the surround sound, you can hear where the cars are in proximity and location, and the force feedback is spot-on! If you over steer and lose traction, the wheel gets lose. Loose on high speed straights, resistance increasing at the apex of lower speed corners! A complete blast. Highly recommended. And it gave me a valuable opportunity to teach the benefits of reading directions: they had been playing Halo 3 with the tv speakers and RCA video. How sad for them. Now we have large screen high def and optical 6.1 surround total of 2000 watts connected. This wheel is great. Tried to use the game pad and that is a dead, un-fun perspective.Get more detail about Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel.
