    I'm afraid I'll have to disagree there.
    If you really like racing games this thing is cráp.
    The level of control ain't great and no vibration feedback.

    If you like a new toy for messing about on racing games it's pretty good fun.

    I got one when they came out first and tbh I regret it, only used it once.

    Bought one and sold it a week later. Very bad wheel imo.

    Ok maybe its not brilliant, but it is very very good and for 36 euro it is exceptional (You will hardly buy a standard controller for this money)

    Plus it does have vibration feedback.
    Anyhow I have tried it with FORZA and F1 2011 and it works perfect for me.

    Apologies about the vibration feedback - looks like it does have it.

    Must try mine again as I dont remember it......

    Another issue I had was buttons missing, like the bumper ones.
    eg for changing the view in Forza...

    If you buy this from argos in the North you can get the wheel for 15 Sterling if bought with the new Forza 4 Game.

    I ordered both for 55 Sterling and will also get a 5 Sterling voucher back.

    I wouldn't recommend this as an alternate gift for somebody requesting a steering wheel. Going by reviews, tt's meant to be fine for what it is. Its design means it auto-centres better than most of these 'floating' wheels.

    Though it may have vibration, steering feedback is what this lacks over the more traditional setups.

    Heres the other end of the scale from this. Crazy prices by comparison but supposedly worth it if you're really into your racing sims. A couple of friends have some of this gear.
