5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality Hardware, December 5, 2001

I bought this racing wheel for the XBox. I am playing it with Project Gotham and it is AWESOME! Great quality construction, the steering column is actually bolted into the console. I has a digital power meter and allows you to configure the wheel turning radius. This product far exceeded my expectations and I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a wheel for XBox.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Some Games, March 20, 2002

By A Customer

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

Just purchased MadCatz MC2 Racing Wheel and Pedals. Here is the good news.

Fits about as well as I could expect on my lap. The pedals take the place of the triggers and work well when the triggers are accelerate and brake. The wheel and pedals seem durable if used with moderation. I would not get too aggressive with this product. The calibration system is easy and helpful.

Bad news. The buttons are not programmable. This makes games like "Spy Hunter" rather awkward. In Spy Hunter the acceleration button is "A". Firing weapons and selecting weapons are located at the triggers. This means when you use the pedals in "Spy Hunter" you will be firing weapons. This gets rather confusing. This has as much to do with the design of the games. If the game allowed the player to reprogram buttons, this would not be a problem.

Overall racing wheel worked well on Project Gotham and Wreckless. It did not work as well on Spy Hunter for reasons mentioned above. I recommend the product, however I would have preferred a wheel with programmable buttons (if there is such a thing).

3.0 out of 5 stars Great wheel, unusable because of problems., September 14, 2002

Just bought this wheel today and I love the way it feels. I've been playing Sega GT 2002 and Rallisport non stop for past 7 hours. Very well designed and fits on my lap perfectly.

There are problems with it however that will make me return it tomorrow morning.

1. In both games it will disconnect 1-5 times a race. Pressing start button will fix this but it also resets your calibration. Imagine being disconnected and having to recalibrate it 5 times a race - extremely annoying.

2. It doesn't remember your calibration settings when it's powered off. This alone wouldn't make me return it but is still annoying.

I haven't had anything brake off yet, like other reviewers. The wheel and pedals are very firmly built.

Another thing - Mad Catz need to be open for support something other than Mon-Fri 9-5.
