Digital camera reviews of Logitech G25 Racing Wheel
Digital camera Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this wheel primarily for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and that is what I have used it with. It's my first videogame wheel and as such an expert on sim games and wheels probably shouldn't listen to me too much. But I must say the experience is absolutely, absolutely incredible!
The setup was fairly easy, but before you get it think about how it is going to be set up. Right now I am using a TV tray as a hack but I bought a more suitable solution and am waiting for it. Build quality of the components are excellent, I wish the shifter was a bit tighter but I have not gone into detail with "H" mode, sequential works fine.
Anyway, onto the usage. With the wheel, you can feel the road, you can make adjustments, its easier to fully analyze the race conditions and adjust as necessary. The force feedback is absolutely phenomenal, somebody in another review who described it as a "3d matrix" of effects has it spot on, you really feel all the subtle effects going on. It's incredible. For example, while racing as a Suzuki Cappucino (a small kei car which is a personal favorite of GT's producer), I was able to feel when the car was starting to understeer, start to get a bit squirrely and adjust. These sorts of things are just so much harder to pick up on with a gamepad.
It's hard to describe, but with the wheel and the more advanced physics of GT5P (playing it on pro with all assists turned off and sequential shifting, I don't have good access to the clutch with my setup), the game feels "right". Its more fun just driving around the track trying to improve times than ever before. This has been literally some of the most fun gaming I have ever had and I have been playing games for a loooong time, way too long.
If you like racing games, and you like simulations, you really owe it to yourself to buy a wheel and the G25 is an excellent choice.
Digital camera Review: CLUTCH! METAL! LEATHER!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok sim racing fans, this has got to be the best main-stream available wheel. I have had nothing but enjoyment in using it. The only hassle is set-up and tear-down: wires galore (it sure would be nice to have a dedicated sim racing station). It would be awesome if they were able to implement wireless communication between the components...Digital camera Review: Completely amazing

The best gaming Wheel ever! since my native language is spanish i will write in spanish..
Apenas saque el producto de la caja me parecio que estaba poco protegido, pero cuando fui sacando una a una las partes, me di cuenta que estaba hecho con materiales fuertes y durables. recomiendo ampliamente la compra, posee force feedback y vibracion, los pocos botones en el volante los justifico, dado que un volante de carreras no tiene tantos botones, solo se ven en los volantes de F1. Por otra parte, el Shifter me parece un poco de juguete asi como a mucha gente, pero pienso que tratandolo bien podra tener una buena durabilidad.
Thanks and if you buy it, you sure will enjoy it like me :)
Digital camera Review: Definite must-have for racing enthusiasts
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome product. Great wheel for PC and Playstation games. Is well built and looks it will last for years.
The clutch pedal is a definite USP over the other wheels on the market.
Digital camera Review: Do not buy for PS3!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this for PS3 especially if you are looking for a wheel easily compatible with Gran Turismo. It is not one of the indicated wheels and comes with PC installation instructions. The controls are not corresponding to those in the options menu. Sure, pedals aren't metal, you don't get a clutch pedal and the steering wheel isn't leather wrapped but the GT steering wheel is a better value for most gamers.
