Customer Review: Great Wheel
This wheel is completely worth the money. It’s made me a much better driver in the game. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of GT or driving games.
Customer Review: Best wheel for the money!
Excellent build quality, very solid with great force feedback(vibration). Auto calibration whenever plugged into PS3 or a racing game gets loaded or quit. GT5P worked flawlessly as well as the Dirt demo, GTHD, GT3/4. Full 900 degree turn radius is very nice. Wheel is 10 3/4″ in diameter measured. It auto centers as you accelerate out of a turn, making it feel just like a real car. Like after you turn, then let the steering wheel slide through your hands back to center. I thought you had to manually turn it back to center it but it does this automatically. Very nice indeed. Gas pedal is ok but brake pedal is firm and responsive. Sequential shifter is great but I use the paddle shifters more and only use the shifter for quick gear changes when I can’t reach the paddle buttons fast enough. Such as coming out of a turn and needing to up shift quickly. The tuning knob is great for those on the fly adjustments when in game and you WILL want to adjust certain aspects when in races. Assuming you know what your doing. Having the ability to quit to the XMB from in game is great but only works for GT5 Prologue so far. You can also move around the XMB with this as a controller. Overall, this is an excellent steering wheel for the money. Having played on a G25 as well the only real difference is the 6 speed stick shift and price. Well of course, the leather and metal accents on the G25, too. It’s a bit better in feel compared to the older driving force pro in steering, feedback and pedal pressure to me. It’s very much like the G25. Remember though, some cars have a 7th gear so it kinda kills the feel of the 6 speed only G25, so you have to shift with the button or use it as sequential to be able to access the 7th gear. No biggy if you like shifting with a stick, but still lame. Also, the tuning knob helps alot if you know how to use it right. So, if you gotta have a stick shift, get the G25. If you want to save some money(about $80-120) and don’t care about the “stick shift” too much, then the official Driving Force GT wheel is the one to get.

Customer Review: Visually good, Gameplay.. Average…
Thought it helpful to do a fairly short winded review as most here seem to go into great detail & didnt really help me. the gamepl ay is average, at first its engaging and difficult to master, this soon changes to being repetetive & easy. Its bascially boring to do the same 7 missions over and over again but in different towns. Visually its good, and is getting close to how i expected the PS3 to be. its by no means perfect but i dasy the visual effects of the game woudl be the best reason to buy it. But if im honest I think its better to rent the game before you buy, rent it for a week & you could probably complete it anyway..
Customer Review: Not for the fast-paced-blast-the-crap-out-of-everything ADD crowd…
So I’ve just completed the fourth assassination and I am having soooooo much fun with this game. Enough has been written about the visuals, and indeed much has been written about the lack of variety. Well to me this game has more depth in it’s little finger than many others have in the whole game. Repetitive? Halo? Doom? Every FPS ever written? In an era of endless sequels, FPS’s and war games, where the games industry seems stuck in a rut with no creativity or original thought, I give full marks to Ubisoft for trying to do something new. The story, like the overall pace of the game, unfolds slowly. It seems well written and thought out, and the dialogue and voice acting is well done. The scope and attention to detail within the cities blows me away, and I can explore for hours. There are valid criticisms - there is no point to collecting flags or killing Templars, other than for personal satisfaction and the sense of completeness. The combat can be awkward at times, and there could be more variety in the different investigation missions. However I don’t feel these detract too much from what is a very compelling experience. I guess I like games that don’t try to rush me through in a few hours, and for ?50 I appreciate it. I can’t wait to see what AC2 can bring, with more time to focus on the gameplay instead of creating a truly world-class engine.
