3.0 out of 5 stars Feels good for kids; could have been better, July 13, 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Wii Racing Wheel (Video Game)

This for sure feels better than just tilting the wiimote to turn the car. Kids really love it since they feel as if they are driving when they use the wheel. However, it needs a little getting used to since you are kind of turning the wheel in the air rather than on a pivoted point as in other game wheels.

One other problem is the lack of wiimote cursor once you put it into the steering wheel. This could have addressed by simply making a small hole on the side where the IR sensor is. That way you dont have to take the remote in and out of the wheel often.

Bottomline: Can live with out it, but cheap enough if kids like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars What is there to say?, June 4, 2007

This review is from: Wii Racing Wheel (Video Game)

This is a wheel for use with the Nintendo Wii remote. Not much more to it than that. The idea is that your remote fits snugly inside, and the wheel gives you a more realistic racing experience than just tilting the remote by itself.

This wheel works pretty well--I like the weight of it and the overall feel. The Wiimote fits quite snugly in there and is a bit difficult to insert and remove, but I'd say that's a good thing since you don't want it fitting loosely. It did NOT fit so tight that it scratched or marked my Wiimote in any way.

This is a great product if you like racing games or just want an accessory that gives you a better feel for driving. And you can't argue much with the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drives as Promised, October 2, 2007

This wheel is pretty decent, especially for the price. Who can beat $9.99 with free shipping? Some people argue the wheel is not necessary, of course not, but that is not the point is it?

Pros:
- Great value
- Good tactile feel, not slippery

Cons:
- Actual wireless eye is covered, which is not necessary during any games I have played. It seems like it should have been cut out though.
- The controller fits in the wheel fairly snuggly, which is either a pro or a con I guess depending how you view it. I hope it loosens up some.

Personally I recommand Excite Truck for a good starter game to use with the wheel, it is an instant hit.
