A GOOD PRODUCT 96

On opening the box, we are slightly disappointed because his dull color gives the impression of something a little cheap. There is nothing, manufacturing is quality, he would just as plastic slightly more visually pleasing to found almost perfect construction (pedals benefit from being slightly larger)

Mounting is easy by against, as often with Logitech, the manuals are really minimalist and poorly written. Brief for a regular game, no problem for an amateur, it's a bit painful.

Being the official wheel of Grand Turismo, testing began on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Platinum. And then the results are surprising and almost perfect. The pedals are well calibrated, force feedback is very realistic as well as the evolution of the vehicle according to the steering wheel (steering gear). Of course, all this requires choosing a suitable support and not to put the pedal on a polished floor.

So we can note that two true defeated when using this game: connecting cable wheel / pedal has the annoying tendency to sometimes break off and too close to the speed of the steering wheel lever which can cause driving errors.

My kids loved. Having had the chance to drive the GT rally car and I must say that I was surprised that this wheel is approaching so real racing conditions. Vibrations are particularly well done and it reminded me a lot of emotions. However, it lacks a true "gearbox", the possibility of simulating a "engine brake" and a line almost too "easy" at high speed. It is therefore a steering wheel that provides realistic sensations quite a bit worse than the Logitech - G25 - peripheral games - Steering Wheel for PC / PS3 with which I compared lai, but more than ample. That said, everyone did not lead the GT, most will take a lot of fun to play with.

The test continued with a compatible game. And then things got complicated for serious driving. On Ridge Racer 7 - Platinum, my children quickly left the wheel to use simple levers. Good pro lol, I wanted to test it and the result was immediate: the vehicles are inconduisibles if you try to exceed the 50 km / h :-(

Turn the steering wheel approximately 30 ° is sufficient to leave immediately skidding. Of course, with such reactivity of the steering wheel, the vehicle impossible to catch. I try to avoid the crash and hop, I find myself rolling in reverse. I try a little maneuver to change direction but come up against a serious problem: I have no reverse gear. I only have the spin that is not evident with a steering wheel that also answers wrong. I try a cool driving and there plaf, new problem. Is pressed much or little on the accelerator, the speed increases in the same way. In short, this game so enjoyable with Logitech - G25 - peripheral games - Steering Wheel for PC / PS3 is no longer playable except to spend hours playing on the settings (what I have done and here we arrive at a correct result) .

For the rest, this steering wheel is quite comprehensive:
- Handle in the middle of the steering wheel, essential but not easy to use (it comes back to the lack of instructions)
- PC compatibility tested and quite good
- Rich enough setting options (hint: be careful, trimming a change can impact other trimmings)
- Manufacturing quality.

In summary, this is a great wheel for Gran Turismo 5 play Prologue - Platinum. It takes a lot of pleasure and Logitech - G25 - ring road games - Steering Wheel for PC / PS3 (I do not have a Logitech - G27 - PC Accessory - Steering Wheel for gaming - USB - PS2 / PS3) does not bring not greater. Certainly it is better but the price difference is not reflected in sensations. So without hesitation flying this seems to me the best compromise on this game between performance and price.

I have tested on a compatible game and the result was bad. It will read the other reviews to see what he gives on others.

Insofar as it is clearly stated that it is the driving Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Platinum, pure quality it deserves 4 * because it still blew me away on the realism of good feelings in relation to reality. As I said, I had the chance to drive the GT and have fun on a simulation game, it still means that it's damn good.
