Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless
Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING

...This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped. The packages comes in 3 separate parts: >Wheel >Pedals >Table attachement WHEEL: The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel...

Thrustmaster 360 Modena

Advantages: Good build, rubberised grip, looks good.
Disadvantages: Clamping system slightly awkward

...!!NOTE: This review is not for the force-feedback model, as the 'product details' section implies, but is for the version without force feedback!! I am also reviewing the PC model, not the model for consoles! I borrowed this wheel from a friend in order to play Toca Race Driver 2 (great game by the way!!). I have been very impressed by the wheel. The wheel is made by Thrustmaster (whose parent company is Guillemot) and is a replica of the steering wheel found in the Ferrari 360 Modena as the name suggests. The wheel has a sturdy hard black plastic design with a rubberised grip on either side which gives you added control over its movement without the wheel slipping through your hands. It is extremely well built - a vast improvement on the wheel that I previously owned - The Guillemot Race Leader Force Feedback whic felt rather...

Wheely Wheely Good!!

Advantages: Realistic, Responsive, There really are too many to list!
Disadvantages: Too expensive for everybody to own

...i know) but all three of them work fantasticly well with this wheel. in the past wheels for consoles were notouriously unresponsive and difficult to control, this is certainly not the case with this wheel, it is easy to correct yourself after making a miscalculation with both oversteer and understeer. The controls really do feel like a real car, and remind me very much of the arcade racing games in terms of feel, control and force feedback, i really cannot express how good this wheel is! Durability...... The product is made out of heavy duty plastic throughout and this allows the product to withstand many knocks as well as general wear and tear. I own several official microsoft xbox360 products and they are always nothing short of excellent, this wheel appears to be no exception. Features...... The wheel does not provide much...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

the xbox 360

Advantages: amazing graphics and has many features
Disadvantages: size and weight

.... Not only does the xbox 360 deal with just the gaming side, but along with the console you can store a large amount of music and photos on the 360 which you can customise your different play lists. It also has a built in wi-fi so you can connect to the net and play against other gamers online, but this can only be done on certain games. There are so many accessories that can accompany the xbox 360, different controllers and all sorts of storage components. Myself as im a very kean racing driver i bought a streering wheel that was compatible to the 360 so i could really get the feeling when using the racing games. You may have thought now that sony have designed the new slim line ps2 that microsoft would have try to create their new console a little bit smaller, but no the xbox 360 still is about the same size and the same wieght, thats...

Best Racing Game On 360

Advantages: Great sound and Graphics, lots of vehicles, great tracks. Great online features
Disadvantages: NONE

...I had Project Gotham 3 for the xbox 360 and it was one of my favourite games, so when I heard about Project Gotham four coming out I was really excitied. I bought this game on the first day of release from Game for £39.99 and couldn't wait to start racing. PGR4 is all about style. The Kudos system awards you points for driving with style and flair. Long powerslides around sweeping bends through to driving on only two wheels. The kudos you earn from racing can be used to buy new vehicles and also new tracks. The weather conditions are a great addition to the game and the weather can even change in the middle of your race. This makes the game much more realistic. Dense fog, ice, snow and lots and lots of rain are examples of the weather conditions you find yourself driving through and each affects your vehicle in a different...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

And they say i am a solid gamer!!

Advantages: Realistic steering and speed controls
Disadvantages: No force feedback

...This is the ultimate gamers gadget. It puts you right in the drivers seat as never before, and boy does it make a difference. I will start from the top and work my way down, in my description. The feel of the steering whell is interesting. It is a very 'rubbery' rubber. This is not a problem but it does take some getting used to, and if you tend to get really into your games= sweaty hands then that could cause a problem. However it does provide excellent grip and control over the wheel. Then there is the responsiveness of the wheel itself, within the game. I have used this whell on many games, with good results; but the best have to have been in Underground 2. You turn the wheel and the car turns!! Now this may sound basic but the amount youy turn the wheel isn't always directly reflected within the game. The on-wheel buttons...

Xbox 360

Advantages: Cheaper setup than PS3, better pad, best game selection, xbox live is amazing
Disadvantages: Paying for xbox live (after 3years of live, a PS3 works out cheaper), can be noisey, Wi-Fi is extr

...Ok, here's a quick run down of my thoughts on the 360, probably throw in a few comparisons with the PS3, won't bother too much with the Wii since it's not really what I would class as a serious games machine, good fun in short spells or with "non-gamers" but that's about it. Had the 360 for a couple of years now, I was seduced by Halo 3 having been addicted to the first 2 games on the original, I'm a little bit of a FPS nut so I'm well covered with the 360 as that seems to be the systems main genre as it was with the original. It's probably been the most fun system I've owned since the dreamcast (class machine, sorely missed) or the mega drive (Genisis for anyone on the wrong side of the Atlantic). Main reasons for going with the 360? ok, it's initially cheaper to buy in the short term (works out more expensive over time with xbox...

This Small Wheel Is A Big Deal

Advantages: Looks great, Great grip, Very responsive, Cheap
Disadvantages: Quite small, Can become uncomfortable if rested on knees

...---------------- LOOK & FEEL ---------------- I always used to wonder what it would be like to play a racing game without using a regular console controller, so one day I did my usual search through ebay for random rubbish that I'll never use and found this Mad Catz MC2 Xbox 360 Steering Wheel for just over £20, so naturally I bought it. The first thing that struck me about this MC2 wheel is that it's rather small (wheel circumference), I was expecting something a little bigger but then again I've never used another wheel so perhaps this is the standard size. Ignoring the size, the wheel looks very nice with its sleek white design and has great grip thanks to the rubber around it so you wont find your hands slipping from the wheel which is always helpful when you're driving. Due to the wheel being fairly small, when I play...

Review of Madcatz Xbox 360 MC2 Racing Wheel & Pedals

Xbox 360

Advantages: Great graphics and Gameplay
Disadvantages: Not as good as a Wii for family play.

...Being a playstation boy I've never bothered with the Xbox, however through boredom and impulse I found myself buying an Xbox 360 one day. To coin a Carlsberg phrase, the 360 is probably the best console around. The graphics are second to none and until sony can get to grip with what they really want out of the PS3 the 360 will remain streets ahead. It is available from around £180 upwards depending on system and game bundles you purchase with it with again leaves it extremely better priced than the PS3. The controller whilst more bulky than sony controllers fits nicely in the hand and the rechargeable battery pack is a must get addition. I would say however that although there is a great variety of games available for the Xbox 360 it is undoubtedly at its greatest when playing shoot 'em up's, games such as Halo 3 and Gears...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

xbox 360

Advantages: graphics, gameplay
Disadvantages: cost of live subscription

...The microsoft xbox 360 is in my opinion the best games console out there, ultimately enhanced by the superb online gameplay capabilities and magnificient graphics which it has. It is incredibly easy to use (even my dad can use it) and it is easy to transfer date from a computer to it also. There is a huge variety of games that can be played on it and the games that can only be played on the xbox 360 (gears of war, halo 3) are better than the games that can only be played on Sony Playstation 3 (Little Big Planet). Even though the online gameplay costs, (£5 a month if paying monthly) it makes up for it with seriously awesome gameplay compared to PS3 live which is free however not as good. Another factor that I like about the Xbox 360 is that you can earn achievements when you complete certain missions or find something during...
