Not being a PC World visitor I missed the 10 cashback offer, now I'm
informed
Ill be popping down there to get the 10 refund voucher.Which makes this
price
even better. :)
Yes its my first wheel, I chose the MS wheel as although the Act Labs has
received
rave reviews youve got all the hassle of shipping from US etc. As far i was
concerned this price was too good to miss for a FF wheel.
After a short evenings playing I can surely say playing a racing game with a
wheel
makes everything so natural, you can hold a line through a bend perfectly,
rather
than trying to hold the joystick in one position, you can control the
acceleration and
brake naturally. Any game which involves driving I'd say will benefit from
being
controlled with a wheel instead of a stick.
If your a racing games player and been contemplating a wheel, I'd certainly
reccomend
getting one, whatever the flavour you prefer.
