You're playing a game though, no matter how good the graphics. For me its the other way around, a game interface is best for a game, and a controller suits me far better than an awkward "fake" wheel.

i see your point, but i believe that a good wheel/pedals setup (ala logitech driving force pro) is a far superior "game interface".

Yeah I like using the guitar controller more than the standard handheld controller in Guitar Hero and RockBand too, I mean pressing the select button just isn't as much fun as raising your guitar in the air to go into overdrive. Although I can drive with the handheld controllers I prefer the wheel because you can get better control in smaller increments with the handheld controlleryou are almost always wagging the car to some degree.

Is there a good force-feedback wheel for Xbox360? Please tell me.

You haven't been in my gameroom.

No one thinks the wheels seem fake.

I just got the 360 wheel and Forza2 about a week ago. WOW! The game play is way better than GT4, driving is about on par, graphics could be a little better. It's just about all I have been doing for the past week! My Cayman S is about 903 on the Performance Index, and looks SO sweet!

I wish Forza/ XBox supported 900 degree wheels. You really need to compare Forza 2 to GT5 on PS3. The Prologue GT5 can be purchased now, although officially only in Japan until March. The cockpit view is great over the top of a G25.



If Forza2 would support the Logitech 900 degree wheel/pedals/shifter it would be AWESOME.
