Video Game Reviews of Logitech PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel
Customer Review: This is so much fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
Just bought this for Dirt 2, and GT5 when that comes out. The Force Feedback is pretty good, decent wheel weight. Support is great, has all the tweaks in the game... can program the horn button to do the horn in Dirt 2... anyways. Nice arcade style wheel, by that i mean the game only supports 270 degrees of wheel movement. But thats the game. Supposedly GT5 will use all 900 degrees of wheel making it pretty much like a steering wheel in a car. (wierd huh? gt5 simulating a real car.. hmm.) Overall i give it 2 thumbs up. I suppose the only downside would be the USB Cable and such. plenty of length if you stretch it across the room from the PS3.. trip hazard, small kid hazard... bought a 10 ft extension so i can run it around the side and under the couch, should solve that problem. Customer Review: great, when it works
Summary: 2 Stars
Wheel is nicely made, works great with GT5... however it doesn't work with a number of other racing games I have, because I 1) can't adjust the controller settings in the game to use the foot pedals, and 2) can't adjust the wheel to accept different inputs for the foot pedals.
As a result, you end up with a product that SOMETIMES works very well. Annoyingly, it requires a USB port on the front of your system, and also requires a power plug, so you'll have two cords running across the room, which is somewhat a disappointment given that most of us have gotten used to wireless controllers.
I have both an xbox 360 and a ps3, and while this wheel is of a better construction, I will be buying pretty much all future racing games for the xbox unless I know for certain this wheel will play nice with my game on the ps3.
Customer Review: Worth every dollar!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Logitech G-Force Gran Turismo Racing Wheel is a bang for the buck for the PS3. Makes the game play more fun and brings it closer to realism with Gran Turisom 5 Prologue gaming. Can't beleive I waited this long to buy this!Customer Review: perfect on GT5 ...but some other games beware..
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing deserves a 5 star rating just for GT5 alone..
i will warn you that MOST other driving games you WILL rather use a game pad...sorry to say ..
i think that for an amazing game like GT5 its totally worth spending 105 bux at amazon for this controller...or even 227 for the G25.
I did test this with Nascar 09 and have to say it ran VERY well also..
too bad i don't like nascar 09..but to each his/her own.
now on to the steering wheel.
its solid construction, densely built..tough durable plastic shell .. don't feel flimsy. The wheel seems rugged for gaming abuse, and is super comfortable to handle.
there was NO dead spots whatsoever. the clamp to my simple half inch shelf fit perfectly, it doesn't get loose or slide. i love the clamping on this thing despite what other reviews have said....it works for me and is mounted firmly...has not come loose.
nothing was needed out of the box with GT5..it was meant to be.
other DEMOS i tried it with.
1. GRID -tough to control needed adjustment but i gave up
2. GTI -potential there..but im still working on it..so far, no go
3. Motorstorm PR -wouldnt work at all..no controls..anyone have any luck with this amazing game and this steering wheel? please post i would love to know.
4. Wipeout HD , pedals wouldnt work with the game, the steering worked..but..i didnt even try to adjust anything..the lack of pedals working took away my ambition to play with it.
5. Pure- Good potential..but no pedals once again...i guess stick to gamepad
6. Nascar 09 - Worked VERY well..a pleasure to play actually..more fun than a gamepad
i strongly encourage anyone skeptical about this wheel and GT5...dont be..you have to feel it to believe it..you will not be able to go back to anyhting else. I just hope more games come out in time to utilize this wheel more...but if not..i think ill be happy with GT5 for the rest of my life hah.
Customer Review: Great Game Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
The Driving Force Pro GT wheel is an excellent addition to your gaming experience. I use this wheel with Nascar 09 and it deffinitely makes the game that much better. Of course if the game that you're trying to use the wheel with isn't very good, then the wheel can only do so much...BUT, if you already have a driving game that you enjoy then this will be the icing on the cake. If you're able to purchase or construct some type of gaming chair that will be the optimal scenario.
