I've been after one of these since buying a ps3 but was put of by the £200+ price tag. I also have a 360 wireless wheel and there is no comparison. The G25 feels stronger and the feedback is more realistic and F1, GT5 and ferrari challenge all run as smooth as you like. |

If you're considering buying one of these but are wondering (as I did) if you can justify the extra cost of this wheel over the cheaper ones I'd have to say it's worth every penny. The feel of this wheel is so much better it's hard to put it into words! Once it's fixed to a mounting it's completely solid, the force feedback is firm and convincing and the motion is smooth and responsive. The pedals are also great and of high quality and durability. The only part that doesn't quite measure up as others have said is the gear shift which is too loose.
This wheel is totally PS3 compatible. I use it with GT5 (if you hold down the Triangle button at the start of the race it activates the Clutch pedal as well although for some reason you can't set this up in the menus!), F1CE and soon Grid. Playing GT5 online it feels like cheating, especially on the Daytona circuit as the wheel allows for much more precise steering than a pad ever could. Also with the Force Feedback it's possible to tell exactly which wheel is on the rumble strip with your eyes closed. Obviously they've used some sort of voodoo there.
As an added bonus I've found that i can use the Gearstick console as extra buttons and a second hat switch in my flight-sims so even LockOn has become more enjoyable since i bought this! |

I started off with buying a Guillemot RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition wheel, but I found that after a while the outer wheel started to part company with the centre, even though the overall build quality was very good...
After this happened I treated myself to a G25, and I have to say this wheel is in a league of it's own. The quality is second to none and will no doubt last a very-very long time, I am disabled and unable to use the foot clutch, but I found I can use one of the paddles behind the wheel, you could also set the paddle on the other-side as a throttle as the movement is gradual and smooth...
I'd say, if you can afford it then go for the G25 you will not be disappointed...
Overall marks for the G25 has to be 10/10...

This is a pricey bit of kit but well worth it. Leather steering wheel,twin force feedback motors, 3 pedals. it works on pc and ps3 but I have only used it on my ps3 so cant comment on pc use. On F1 on ps3 ,rev the engines and you can feel the revs pulse thru the wheel and go over a rumble strip and you get a directional vibration too. A wheel is a must for anyone who plays online as the competition is fierce.
To sum up:-
1. Fantastic quality
2. Excellent force feedback-altho depends on game being set up for it
3. When gt5 comes out-these will be scarce-buy one |

I've always wanted to have the G25 when I first saw it. Now I finally have it, and enjoying every bit of it. Instead of feel like steering a piece of plastic that jerks when you hit something in the game, the G25 really makes you feel like you are steering a car: logitech had eleminated that annoying friction feeling in a normal force feedback wheel, while improved the force feedback further still, propably due to the bigger housing for the electric motors in G25. PC racing simulators like live for speed really brings out the best of G25. Also, to my very surprise, as I used to play Gran Turismo 4 with Driving Force Pro, I thought GT4 with DFP is the end of story, but even so G25 makes GT4 a better experience - such a pain to do fast multiple turns with DFP but with the smoothness of G25 it became such fun. Oh yes, and the pedals and the shifter as well, not so real as the wheel but nevertheless marvelous and way ahead of anything else on the market. Everything about G25 is so smooth and precise, I think is fair to say Logitech had perfected force feedback steering - at least for the time being. |
