The Logitech Driving Force Pro is a huge step up from using any other wheel or controller with its 900 degree steering support, additional side shifter, and better feedback effects. Logitech has built a competent and durable steering wheel for the PS2 and PS3. It plays really well with the games it supports and it is available at an affordable price.
The feel of this wheel is as close to a realistic racing experience as one can imagine. The force feedback mechanism can be manually adjusted from full power to 60% power directly from the device. Some games may allow further fine tuning of the force feedback system.
To set up the pedal unit is easy enough and it stays in place while using it and it is very easy to use. You have the ability to apply a 1/2 or 3/4 throttle rather than having to tap the controller button on-off-on-off to simulate. This is a great feature to be able to do.
The sequential shifter really adds a great aspect to Gran Turismo 4. The force feedback provided by the Driving Force Pro is as realistic as you can ever hope for. When you are coming out of a turn as you uncrank the wheel, you feel the car speed up. It also allows the minimum input necessary to make the turn correctly.
The Driving Force Pro plays really well with the games that it supports but when you play you need plenty of room. You need an open outlet near you to get the power going and you will definitely need a sturdy table to mount this on. Playing with it on your lap just won’t do.
Even though the wheel could use a few tweaks to its design, You will like how the wheel handles for the PS2 Driving Force Gran Turismo games. The feedback that you receive from the wheel is amazing because you can feel other racers crashing into you. When you are driving on dirt tracks, you feel as if you are really driving on a dirt track.
You can use the Driving Force Pro on your Windows XP. It is just a simple plug and play and you’re all set to go. When using the force feedback on the wheel, and you have a game that allows contact with other players on or off the road, it has a motor inside that pushes against the wheel to give the impression that your driving is being affected by the contact of the off-road input or the other players. This is sweet.
Let’s take a look at the features of the Logitech PlayStation Racing Wheel:
*Comfortable, full-sized rubber grip wheel with 900-degree steering – turns 2 1/2 times, lock to lock
* Switches automatically to 200-degree mode, for compatibility with other racing games
* Wheel-mounted paddle shifters, sequential stick shift and a full set of PlayStation buttons
* State-of-the-art force feedback technology lets you feel all the action
* Textured floorboard features and no-slip carpet grip system, for better control and a better racing feel
The wheel is loaded with additional controls that allow you to fine tune your hot rod in real time and you can increase brake bias or ratchet up the traction control.
Using the Driving Force Pro wheel with Gran Turismo 4 will totally change the way you play the game. Instead of just pushing buttons on a standard controller, you can play your racing games with realism and more excitement.
