Enjoyable controller
By goretex
Just pop the move controller in and start racing. Very accurate control with the move camera--i found it super easy to drive around even at high speeds. Docked one star because i thought 39.99 was a little pricey even though it works great. You need you own move controller with this so i thought 39.99 with the controller would be a better price. The throttle on the right side is a cool idea.Amazon-as usual- was great with fast delivery.

By Albert Chen
If you have a Move and you don't want to have a large steering wheel set up in your living room, this is a great alternative. It well built, very responsive, and a lot smaller and cheaper. Unfortunately, while the wheel works with basically all racing games (through a small workaround mentioned in the manual, officially call DualShock 3 Emulation Mode) there aren't that many games out that support the wheel fully; Motorstorm: Apocolypse is the only one I can think of. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the new one) supports it, as does LittleBigPlanet: Karting but not all features of those games are available while using the wheel. For example, LBP: Karting's creation tools require a DualShock 3.So, the tech is promising and could be really cool, if more games come out in full support of it. (11/27/2012)

Unbelievably fun!
By JK
I don't write reviews too often on products. When I do, it's for something I truly enjoy. That being said, this racing wheel is unbelievably fun! The very first thing I noticed was how well balanced it is while holding it. I've spent a little more than 5 hours play testing it with Need for Speed: Most Wanted and can honestly say neither my arms nor hands ever once started to hurt. This steering wheel opened up an entirely different world of racing on the PS3. The absolutely precise movements able to be made with the steering versus using a controller is contrastingly huge. As the description states, it's "insanely intuitive" and that is so true. All the controls are designed in a way to be easily accessible, including the paddle shifters. I toyed around in Little Big Planet Karting some and thoroughly enjoyed racing in that as well. Sadly, I don't have any games at the moment that I can test the bike mode of the wheel. I can't wait to get a hold of one to test with though!All in all, there are only two downsides that I personally see. The first being nothing to hold it in place. I sometimes found myself moving the entire controller around, because it's being held in the air. It was helpful to just rest my elbows down and move my arms some, but that also hindered when I needed to do large turning. The second being the price. I'm not taking stars off for that. It's a full PS3 controller with some extras built in. I can see why it's currently at the price it is. No grumbling from me. I've already gotten 5+ hours of immense entertainment from it! Even when I do buy a second one to play against my nephews.So there you have it. Why this took so long to be released after the Move was introduced, I have no idea. However, my verdict on this racing wheel is it's pure fun and well worth it!Update 01/04/2013I've recently learned that the wheel can be used for any racing game which doesn't support it, so long as it's set as controller 1. It appears to use the accelerometer for this. Changing to 1 can be found by navigating with the wheel controller to Settings, Accessory Settings, Reassign Controllers and adjusting to 1. I've tested this with Blur, Split Second and the first Motorstorm so far. It's not as responsive as games supporting it directly via the Move controller, but still better than using the gamepad.
