I've got Project Gotham Racing and Rallisport Challenge. I'm not that into
Nascar. I see that most of you guys use the pc for your F12002....... does
it suck on Xbox? Should I just get Halo instead (I really prefer racing
games). I've got the Madcatz wheel, but I prefer not using it on the games
that I have.

Not sure, but i've heard that 'Leisure Suite Bill's Call Girl Fantasy'
really does SUCK on the Xbox!!! ;)

Most of us use F1 2002 for the PC because that is what we already own... a
PC.

I don't know if F1 2002 for the X-Box is different or not, but there's lots
of review sites out there... http://xbox.ign.com/ e.g.

Halo is indeed rumoured to be very good. If you got cash to burn Medal of
Honour should probably also be on your shopping list.

Some games lend themselves more to wheel control than others... if the game
was more or less specifically writting for pads, using a wheel is a futile
exercise. Wheel support should be analog/linear to benifit from it, IMO.

Get Halo... F1-2002 for the Xbox is a stinker !!
Halo is the first FPS I have ever completed, it's a fascinating experience
for a simracer like me... great fun ;)

I don't believe EA is going to make a F1 2002 for the Xbox. I have F1 2002
for the PS2, it is not that much different than F1 2001, so I would
recommend F1 2001 for the Xbox. Halo is a fun game also.

I think Rallisport Challenge is the best racing game currently available
for Xbox. I didn't like F1 2001 - it is ported from the PS2 rather than
the PC and it is a lot different. It was too twitchy for the standard
controller, but it might be fun with the wheel. Try and find someplace
to rent it first to see if you like it. Also in a month or so Pro Race
Driver and Sega GT 2002 will be available for the Xbox. BTW you can
race the vehicles in Halo in multiplayer. ;o)

EA has already released F1 2002 for the Xbox in the UK (3/27/02), but
it's not available in the US (yet, if at all).

I would highly recommend Rallisport, especially if you like Rally Trophy
or Colin McRae Rally 2 on the PC.

Does it use some new 'force feedback' device?<g>

Halo is a definite buy, it is the best all around shooter that I have ever
played. As for racers, there is not much that is all that great out right
now, unless you like dirtbikes, then get or rent Ricky Carmichaels MX 2002
or 2003 MX super fly. Fun somewhat arcadish racing.

F12002 for the XBOX is identical to the PS2 version, NOT the PC version. It
is absolute GARBAGE. The PC version is developed by a different software
house, ISI, and is a completely different game.

I bought it thinking it'd be the same as PC but to my shock it was the worst
F1 game I've ever played and I took it back 2 weeks later.

Get GP4 when it comes out, that should be great. HALO is a must, as is
Rallisport challenge and PGR. Fifa 2002 is also awesome.

Halo is barrels of fun to play in co-op mode with a friend.

That's exactly what I thought as I have played FPS on the PC since the
original Wolfenstein. But, the Xbox controller works very well with Halo
and I have no idea why.
