Once you wrap your hands around the textured grip of the Logitech Speed Force for the Nintendo GameCube video game system, you'll experience racing the way it's meant to be.

• Stay in control with the precision-engineered wheel
• Easily control car functions, change views, and navigate menus with the +Control Pad and five convenient Nintendo-style action buttons
• Two wheel-mounted paddles (with L and R buttons) function as gas and brake pedals, or serve as gear shifters when gas/brake pedals are attached (sold separately)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best wheel I ever owned!!, February 27, 2003

By 

Harvey Unser (Sunny California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Logitech Speed Force Wheel for Nintendo GameCube (Personal Computers)

This wheel is an unbelievable product and value, not just for the price but at any price. Thats the bottom line.

If you have Nascar Thunder '03 or any other racing game for the cube, you must get this wheel! I was skeptical at first because every console wheel I have ever owned was useless. This wheel does not just rumble it actually has force feedback, meaning the wheel pulls back to center and against you just as if you were in a real car. In Nascar Thinder '03, if you set the car up loose the wheel will be loose. If you change the wedge to tighten up the car during a pit stop, the wheel will tighten up as well. If you are in career mode and your chasis is in bad condition, the wheel center position will shift and will make it harder to steer properly.

It has all of the buttons on the wheel that the standard controller has minus the C-stick and analog stick (you dont need them). While the pedals are not necessary, I reccomend them because they provide a better overall experience. The wheel improved my performance on the track vs. a controller by 3 or 4 seconds on each lap.

The wheel is well constructed and surpassed all my expectations. Same for the pedals. Logitech has a great quality product that is OFFICIALLY licensed by Nintendo (the only wheel to be so) and works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Logitech speed Force Wheel, December 26, 2004

By

This review is from: Logitech Speed Force Wheel for Nintendo GameCube (Personal Computers)

I purchased 2 for my son and husband. Both rumble and work perfectly with the racing games such as Need for Speed Underground 2, Nascar 2003 and 2004. Some of the early games cannot be used, but they still love it. The wheels actually feel like you are in a race car with realistic resistance. I recommend this item.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST wheel I have EVER used!, January 7, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Logitech Speed Force Wheel for Nintendo GameCube (Personal Computers)

Over the past 25 years of gaming, I have used many different steering wheels for lots of different systems. I always buy a new wheel when it comes out, and most of the time it is only used a few times. But, when I bought THIS wheel, it was different. THIS WHEEL IS GREAT! It doesn't emulate the controller like some wheels do. The GAMES are MADE to work with this controller! I've tried most of the supported games, and they are great! Except Super Mario Kart DD is easier with the standard controller, but it is still MORE FUN with the wheel. I would also get the Gas & brake pedal kit. It adds an unbelievable amount of fun to the game! You will have a great time with this product!

These are some of the games that are made for this wheel.
