Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Speed Force Wheel for Nintendo GameCube
Customer Review: Best wheel I ever owned!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This wheel is an unbelievable product and value, not just for the price but at any price. Thats the bottom line.If you have Nascar Thunder '03 or any other racing game for the cube, you must get this wheel! I was skeptical at first because every console wheel I have ever owned was useless. This wheel does not just rumble it actually has force feedback, meaning the wheel pulls back to center and against you just as if you were in a real car. In Nascar Thinder '03, if you set the car up loose the wheel will be loose. If you change the wedge to tighten up the car during a pit stop, the wheel will tighten up as well. If you are in career mode and your chasis is in bad condition, the wheel center position will shift and will make it harder to steer properly.
It has all of the buttons on the wheel that the standard controller has minus the C-stick and analog stick (you dont need them). While the pedals are not necessary, I reccomend them because they provide a better overall experience. The wheel improved my performance on the track vs. a controller by 3 or 4 seconds on each lap.
The wheel is well constructed and surpassed all my expectations. Same for the pedals. Logitech has a great quality product that is OFFICIALLY licensed by Nintendo (the only wheel to be so) and works great.

Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 2 for my son and husband. Both rumble and work perfectly with the racing games such as Need for Speed Underground 2, Nascar 2003 and 2004. Some of the early games cannot be used, but they still love it. The wheels actually feel like you are in a race car with realistic resistance. I recommend this item.Customer Review: Great Wheel for GameCube Racing Game
Summary: 4 Stars
My son and I have been using it for a couple weeks. We really like it. We are using it to play "Need for Speed - Underground 2" and use it with a Wii. Both the wheel and the game are great!
We have this wheel and the accessory pack that comes with a set of paddels and a knee-mount (to mount the wheel on our knees).
The game automatically recognizes this wheel and self-adjust the wheel for us. We don't need to do a thing. Otherwise, my 7-year-old son may have a problem adjusting the wheel.
Although using a wheel is easier than using a controller and can improve your score in a racing contest, this doesn't mean we can always win over a player that uses a controller. For example, I used the wheel and I forced my 7-year-old son to use the controller, and he won every single race. Oh well...
I cannot give it a perfect score because of the following reasons:
1. It is not wireless. Having all those wires running down my legs just is not very comfortable. And the tangled wires is a mess.
2. It uses left and right levers. I believe it is the style for manual shift in formula-one racing. But it is not the manual stick shift that I would prefer.
Please note that this wheel is hard to find because I believe all the GameCube stuffs are no longer in production.
Now, all I want to know is whether I can use this wheel with the Wii version of "Need for Speed - Pro Street" and the soon-to-be-available "Mario Kart" for Wii.

Customer Review: Way Better Than the Original Controller
Summary: 4 Stars
When playing driving games the regular controller falls way short. This wheel is a big improvement, though I need to figure out how to dial it in, it does a pretty good job out of the box. Recommended for anyone who has driving games.Customer Review: its a decent wheel
Summary: 3 Stars
the wheel is ok, but the steering and gas and brake peals are unproportional. this wheel is the best one for gamecube though and is good. just don't use it to practice driving in real life or u'll be screwed.
