 It's like Im Driving, 2008-05-04
Recently buying Gran Turismo 5 Prologue caused me to want to take my racing game up to the next level. Enter the G25 racing wheel. Playing GT in cockpit view almost seems like I am racing in Daytona. The feedback this wheel gives makes me feel the road and what I may be doing wrong or right. This wheel is set apart with it's shifter and clutch.
Of course a big plus is the complete compatibility with GT 5 Prologue. The learning curve is actually steep if you are used to using a regular controller as I am. Although I guess if you want to learn how to be a semi pro this is about as cheap of an investment you could make. This does make racing games a lot of fun. The components are rather heavy and well made. Now you may be asking, Where would I put this stuff? A desk or table would work fine. Although I am betting most of you don't have a table high enough or a desk available in your t.v. room. That's where the Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat comes in. I don't want to sound like an advertisement but if you are going to buy the wheel you will inevitably need this set up. Of course Amazon has it available and it makes the experience that much greater.
I would advise any racing fan who either has a PC, PS2, or PS3 to get this wheel. It really adds that experience you could only find in an arcade. And at one buck a pop that really adds up. This is about the cheapest piece of passion you can buy. And considering the prices of fuel right now this is about the cheapest ride you can buy.

Excellent wheel for PS3, 2008-05-02
This is a fantastic product. I've never owned a wheel before, but wow the force feedback adds so much to the experience. The leather is nice to the touch and feels similar to an STI wheel except smaller. The best part is the paddle shifters which I prefer over the gearbox or sequential shifter. Very easy to use unless you spin out in which case you might hit the wrong one.
There are some caveats. First, it wasn't explicitly made for the PS3, so you'll have to figure out which buttons do what. However, it's obvious the designers anticipated PS2 or PS3 use so there are some familiar control sets. I didn't explore much, but didn't find the button to shift the driver perspective. I prefer the default one so no big deal. Second, the clutch doesn't seem to really do anything. You can just shift without it so why bother using it. No pesky synchros here! Third, the pedals are a little too close as I'll sometimes hit the clutch and the brake when slowing.. Fourth, be careful when a race starts as the wheel's rest position isn't always straight.
As for additional hardware, you may need a USB extension cable as the one supplied only goes 5 feet or so. Same for the AC.

 logitech G25, 2008-04-29
I would rate this prodoct overall a good product. It has how ever had a few problems. The table clams mechamism does not seem to hold properly on all surfaces and tend to slip off the edge. which can be a problem if you are in the mid of a tricky corner or trying to avoid a another vehicle. The tightening knobs are also difficult to turn and tighten. Hex bolt might be a better idea.
Top notch, 2008-04-27
This thing works like a charm. It installed easily on my vista based PC. The force feedback really does the trick. Would reccomend it to anyone who wants a top notch steering wheel and petals.

 Quality Product vs. Expensive Product, 2008-04-21
I use this wheel with a Playstation 3, for Grand Turismo V Prologue. The force feedback is top quality allowing me to feel each and every bump, turn, spring compression, and crack. It does not also have a rumble system with takes away from driving on gravel or impacting another object. The independent gear shifter is very fun, but is also inconvenient to locate comfortably. The pedals are very nice having independent resistances to supply a true to life feeling. Overall the raw quality of this product has made it worthwhile despite the exurbanite price tag.
