anyone tried richard burns rally....now thats a realistic game...not the way it looks but the way it handles...its bloody rock to control the powerful rally car and you have to go thru a huge school of training to just learn how to handle the car before you even think about racing....well good but also well annoying

i think a wheel would help for richard burns...some of the delicate movements u need to put in to control the thing just is to hard with a joypad...even the xbox type with a analogue type thumbstick.

shall chk out liveforspeed

yep, it is unforutinaly, its being made in 2 halfs first half is out..

then there getting feedback on it..blar de blar.

then the 2nd half is is gonna be kinda like an add on.

can play with out wheel, but it sucks in my opinion.

I have the S1 demo and quite like it. I get my simulation dose from NASCAR Racing 2003, the TransAm mod kicks ass Smile

burnout 3 is a great game ,it took me a few months to finish the nfs underground i think this will take even longer. its really fun crashing into cars with 200+mph ,handbrake turns ,boosting up etc.you can unlock fire trucks ,4wd racing jeeps ,an f1 car etc. its serious fun but i dont think the wheel is a good idea for xbox ,has anyone got it?

i got my boy one for his xbox...it was ok, but i didnt really have much of a go. it comes with a thingy that means ur menat to ba able to use it on your lap but in practise its hard to hold something between ur legs and use the pedals....wud be better clamped to a table, which u can do , i just didnt get a go. but in theory u can apply more subtle turning actions.
