Customer Reviews

Good (at least for Grid)
I have this for Codemasters GRID car racing game and am very pleased indeed, you really get the sensation of actually driving. It is pretty robust and that includes the pedals. My only hesitation is that in GRID at least it is quite tricky to set up within the game to get it interacting with the game in a realistic way, there are a lot of settings that can be tweaked. However there is quite a lot of advice about which settings to use on various message boards. I find that the 200degree setting works better than the 900 degree default setting.

Fantastic!
I bought it a while ago, and it is excellent, it gives a great feel of the road, and makes driving easier

The Logitech Driving Force GT
Okay, now as you might know Logitech is one of the leading manufacturers of computer hardware and steering wheels, and to be honest with you, they have made the best steering wheel I have ever used. I have heard that the Logitech G25 is very good but I couldn't Imagen it to be much better than this.

The Logitech Driving Force GT provides a strong and realistic experience for all players. Personally after you have got used to the wheel you notice it becomes easier and lighter to use (If not just change the settings on the game).

The way the wheel turns is strong and firm, also I love the way the wheel adapts to different road surfaces and terrain. E.g. in Colin McRae: DIRT 2 the wheel is very shaky and aggressive due to the rough road conditions, like bumps and dips.

For the pedals, although they're made from plastic, they are pretty lifelike and strong. You will notice the brake has more resistance than the accelerator and apart from there being no clutch the pedals do a very good job and work very well.

The pros of this product are:
- The force feedback
- Steering wheel size (11 inches)
- Button access
- Vibration
- Mounting access
- 900 degrees of wheel rotation
- Works well with The PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2
- Official Gran Turismo 5 product

The cons:
- Sequential gear change (No six speed)
- No clutch

Very good games to use with the Logitech Driving Force GT:
- Need For Speed Shift (PS3)
- Gran Turismo 5 Prorogue (PS3) (The Official Gran Turismo 5 still awaiting release date)
- Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
- Race Driver GRID (PS3)
- Colin McRae: DIRT 2 (PS3)
