1.0 out of 5 stars Compatibility Problem with Ridge Racer 5, November 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: V3fx Racing Wheel 2 (Video Game)

I bought this to use with Ridge Racer 5 with Playstation2, but it does not work in Playstation2 analog mode. I contacted the manufacturer and they were aware of the problem, and would ship a "fix" in a "couple" of weeks.

BEWARE!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Remotely Realistic, August 24, 2001

I have to agree with the review titled "Any Car That Drove Like This Would Never Be Bought." While I thought the pedals were acceptable, the steering itself was horrendous. It claims to have "multiple sensitivity levels" but the three that it comes with are "way too insensitive" (you steer and nothing happens), "unacceptable" (waaaay too much dead space in the center of the steering) and "wild oversteer" (you can look sideways at the wheel and do cookies). It also didn't help that there's actually a sort of "notch" at the center steering position that the wheel snaps back to. If you just want to steer a little, you end up oversteering when you pull it out of the center position "notch." The positioning of the wheel was highly adjustable, though, and could be put into a comfortable position wherever you wanted it, so I have to give 'em points for that. And the fact the pedals stayed pretty much stationary on the ground. But that's all. I'd hold out for the GT Force wheel - I've tried the PC version Logitech put out and it's MUCH better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Sony Approved, December 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: V3fx Racing Wheel 2 (Video Game)

I purchased this Steering Wheel 3 days after I received my Playstation 2. The moment I pluged it in, the display lost detail. I was unable to correct this and Sony was unable to correct this. They had to send me a new Playstation 2 and I was charged for the service because it was not a Sony Approved item. Be carefull what you buy to plug in to your Playstation 2.
