Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel Immediately


I am an avid motorsport enthusiest, and a occasional video gamer. I am by no means an expert.

I have been playing Forza Motorsport games since they were released and love the realistic physics engine, however driving with a controler leaves much to be desired. I was hoping that at the very least, this wheel would help me improve lap times, as many of the reviews state.

Unfortunately, not only does the wheel take FOREVER to get used to, but I still can't even come close to my old lap times even after adjusting all the force feedback settings on the wheel; The wheel has a very wierd, gummy delayed feel, and there aren't enough adjustments to fix it. I don't have much else to compare this product to, but I have heard others speak highly of the realistic feel of other racing simulations.

While the force feedback is plenty strong, and at first feels very cool when running over rumble strips, you will quickly realize that it in no way provides any "feel" that will help control the car. The resistance is completely flat, which doesn't give you any feeling of speed like a normal car would, and the slow delay makes it way too easy to spin out. I have found that it is much faster to turn OFF the force feedback and to just rely on the screen.

While this is a good, reliable, sturdy product, I would NOT recomend this for use with Forza Motorsport. Instead, I would think this would add a fun demension to some of the more arcade like racing games like need for speed... etc...Get more detail about Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel.
