console steering wheels offer a realistic (ish) experience. That has to be
compared to PC game offerings which have recently been pretty poor IMHO
particularly that joke, Toca Race Driver.

I've tried F1 2002 and Gotham Racing on the Xbox with a wheel. It was
horrible. Might as well use a gamepad.

Poor? Nascar 2003, F1C, LFS. Obviously Toca was not good; but then no one
expected it to be, once the demo was out.
But for consoles (I have an XBox) there is hardly nothing for the racing
fan. Even so, I wouldn't dare use a wheel. A gamepad works just fine.
I'm hoping CMR4 is good.

What I'm looking for is seeing how some of the newer driving games/sims work
on the later consoles, on the basis that a lot of recent PC driving
games/sims havn't been too good (or don't appeal).
I don't like arcade driving games and really am looking for a closer to life
experience. My peference is for rally or sports car driving. It seams to me
that some of the console offerings may be the only ones around and although
Codemasters still seem willing to make PC sims, waiting months is not what I
want to do.
So back to the original question, do consoles support any decent steering
wheels and do the games support them properly?
