Dragonball Gt Video: Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Forcec Feedback Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me say that I am new to racing games.I have played the Need For Speed Series, but that is really it.A friend of mine mentioned that the Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Racing Wheel was compatible with Dirt 2 on the PS3.I contacted Thrustmaster and sure enough, it is!They said that Codemasters had worked with them to get their wheels tech programmed into the game.I was sold.I bought the F430 and Dirt 2.I WAS AMAZED at how comfortable this wheel is.Make no mistake, this wheel is as sturdy a wheel as I have ever used.I tried to play some games on teh Xbox 360 using the Microsoft wheel and when my palms sweat (which was often due to my n00b status), my hands would slip.On the Thrustmaster F430 wheel, the grip is a VERY high quality rubber that meant ZERO slipping when my hands got sweaty.I was also very impressed with the responsiveness of the force feedback.I got to the point where I could tell I was in control and driving the right line, simply by how the wheel was responding which made it feel so realistic!Im playing in automatic mode, but the metal f1 style shifters on the wheel are very sturdy.I currently have one of them programmed as my horn.You will not be dissapointed with this wheel.The only thing I didn't like was the lack of labeled buttons. i rated its appearance as 4 stars for that reason alone.Otherwise, this wheel is an almost identical replica of the wheel on the real F430!
