 Well made wheel, works on PS3, PS2 & PC January 2, 2008
25 out of 25 found this review helpful
This is a well made wheel and works perfectly with both PS3 & PS2, I have even tried on my PC and it works fine.
I did find though that it DOESN'T work properly with Ridge Racer 7 on the PS3 because it only selects 200 degree mode with no force feedback ( I have heard that these features are in the US version but not the EUROPEAN version)
Gran Turismo 4 has full 900 degree & force feedback support whether on the PS2 or PS3.
I have found that Burnout 2, 3, Revenge & Paradise (Demo) work brilliantly with the wheel.
The wheel automatically runs through a checking process when powered on & again when a game starts, during which it automatically selects 200 or 900 degree mode dependant on which the game supports.
All in all this is a well made item & if you are looking for a wheel this one is worth the money.
I have given it 4 stars mainly because logitech stated it was compatible with Ridge Racer 7 in 900 degree & with force feedback but it isn't (not in Europe anyway) otherwise it would have got 5 stars.

I bought this Logitech wheel aiming to play it first with two PS3 games I already own: Gran Turismo Prologue (Japanese disc version) and Burnout Paradise.
Starting off with BP, I found the wheel could sometimes be quite twitchy and could lock up when trying to execute take-downs. For instance, when trying to push an opponent into a wall, if they escape it is very difficult to correct in time to stop slamming into the wall yourself. The performance of the wheel and pedals is fine in games such as this when steering in a relatively straight line, but when going hard into corners the steering can become quite erratic.
Moving on to GT:P, I had much more positive impressions. This is largely due to the 900 degree steering mode in this game, which gives a wheel user a qualitative advantage over controller users, because it is possible to steer further right or left with the Logitech wheel. The wheel just feels more "right" when used with these types of simulation driving games, and offers more precise handling for the gamer. Although I could not switch off Froce Feedback via the menus in this game, I found that unplaugging the AC adapter from the mains switches this feature off.
Build Quality: Very good indeed. Solidly built pedals, wheel and wheel-mounted buttons. However, the integrated USB cable (which comes out of the wheel housing) means that if anything happens to this cable, you'll have to buy a new wheel.
Overall: I have given this wheel 4 stars because I feel that when used with games that do not support 900 degree steering (such as BP and most other arcade racers), the Logitech wheel lacks precision and the option in many cases to fine-tune steering and brake/accelaration sensitivity via in-game menus. The wheel has no installation software, so it is entirely at the mercy of each game whether they support such fine-tuning options via their own menus.

If you want to get the best out of your driving games then you should seriously consider this wheel. It is very easy to set up, particularly with the PS3, and the build quality is very good. Feedback from the wheel is true to life with every bump, kerb, and barrier felt that will improve your gaming experience that bit more. Works with GT5 Prologue, Dirt and Burnout Paradise and I'm sure will work with the new Codemaster game Racedriver:Grid out this summer. All in all a worthwhile product and makes driving games a lot easier compared to using the plain old controller. Recommended.
