Great game for the race car fan. It was a game with thrills and speed and even the kids enjoyed playing. We have a race wheel- which helped in the excitement.
You love the thrills and excitement of your favorite racing games, but somehow you always feel that something is missing. Squeezing the trigger and moving the joystick back and forth is not what driving games should be like. You should be able to feel the wheel in your hands, the pedals under your feet and the tires grip the road as you drift around corners and tear up the asphalt in the straightaways. It's time you put down the controller and got behind a realistic wheel that will allow you to drive at break-neck speeds and use careful precision while maneuvering dangerous curves. Are you ready for the driving realism you crave?Speed to the finish line with the Ferrari 458 Italia Wheel for Xbox 360 and Windows. Officially licensed by Ferrari and Xbox 360, this wheel is a replica of the steering wheel on the Ferrari 458 Italia from Forza Motorsport 4. Enjoy optimal handling during intense races thanks to the rubber-textured cladding, and kick it into another gear easily with the two Ferrari GT-style metal paddle shifters mounted on the wheel. Put the pedal to the floor as you race for the checkered flag with the included pedal set that features a long range of travel and realistic resistance and angle. The V-shaped clamping system allows attachment to any table or desk, ensuring the wheel won't slide around during gameplay. With this wheel and pedal set, you'll be sure to fly past your competitors and take first place.
It is what I was looking for and was a great gift. I can't wait for them to try it out. I bought another car race game to be able to use it for more than one game
