Need For Speed SHIFT 2 Unleashed

Nope. Just a 360 controller. I heard it was eons better with a wheel .

The only regret you'll have if buy a DFGT is that you didn't buy a G27 instead
I have a DFGT and a wired 360 controller for my PC, and whilst the 360pad works "okay", there's no forcefeedback, and no sense of immersion/realism using a chunky plastic thing.

When I was racing GTR Evo MP using my 360pad, I'd qualify 8-14th, but with my DFGT, always in the top 10, and in the difficult F3000, I was almost always in the top3.

Ive no doubt that my feelings for sim / semi-sim racing games would change if I had those setup. Would probly be playing racing games the whole day

Trust me, you would, certainly in the beginning.

As I said, a wheel like the DFGT is an excellent piece of equipment at a great price, and truth be told, you won't be going fast enough initially to put the pedals under pressure, but once you get up to speed, the brake pedal will prevent you from being an alien....that said, I've won 300-400 online races with my DFGT, and where possible, I always try and drive in pro mode.

If you're a competitive person though, don't waste one cent on anything less than a G27, it might seem expensive at first, but when you factor in how much you use and enjoy it, you'll quickly position it as one of the best gaming purchases you ever made.

I've only had a wheel since early 2010, but if I knew what I knew now, I would've bought a G25 for $600 back in 05/06 and had a riot with it.....my next move is to get a G27 and maybe add the clubsport* pedals, which seem to me to be as good a set without spending insane amounts of money, even then, when you read the details of the CSPedals, they sound like a killer product anyway.

*G27 wheel is compatible with CSP.

Or find a used G25. or pickup a Fanatec Porche wheel.
