1 out of 5 stars No good for WII games   October 31, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this steering wheel to use on the WII with Ferrari Challenge.
Unfortunately it is not supported by the game - it appears this wheel only works in 'virtual console mode' with classic downloadable games.
It is no good for games designed specifically for the WII



1 out of 5 stars Odd comppatability problems.   April 22, 2008
I've tried this wheel with NFS:Carbon, Sega rally, GT5 (tech demo) and GT5 Prologue.

Worked ok in NFS, far too inprecise in Sega Rally, worked fine in GT5 (tech demo) though the pedals were not properly calibrated.

Avoid like the plague if you have GT5:Prelude. For some reason the wheel and pedals seem to work in the main menu but are completely incompatable with the driving. There's simply no response as you use the controls, which is odd as they seemed to work relatively ok in the tech demo. No amount of Jiggery Pokery could get this to run, even after disabling all other controllers (Bluetooth handset and wireless 6 axis).



5 out of 5 stars A definite buy!!   January 20, 2008
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

a very handy little piece of kit. very easy to use, the rumble feature is very realistic when you run onto the grass etc. the pedals are good, but aren't the most comfy for your feet if you use it for long periods at a time (a few hours). a definite buy for the keen racer!!


2 out of 5 stars Good, when it works   January 14, 2008
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I bought this wheel from Game on 27 Dec 2007 and three weeks later iv replaced it twice and am now searching for something better. The problem was the flappy paddles for shifting are exactly that, flappy. Under normal gaming iv damaged 3 paddles so they dont respond anymore, it sounds like something inside has snaped, as there seem to be something rattling around. For around 25 the wheel is ok, soft force feed back and a bit plasticy, but what do you expect? Maybe something that does what it says on the tin without breaking the first time its used.


4 out of 5 stars Great little wheel   December 28, 2007
  4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought this wheel today and its great its realy neat and small and goes nicely with my laptop and Ps3. The wheel feels surdy and is very cheap for what you get, I would recommend this to anyone that just wants a sterring wheel to play with on there console and move about. If you are a serious gamer and want a serious wheel then don't buy this one. The only prblem i've had is the pedals aren't working, does anyone know why this might be????
