Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Mario Kart Wii
I purchased this for my 11 year old daughter, as she wanted a "real" racing wheel with pedals for the Wii. It was easy to set up (just plug it in) and, it worked right away. After launching Mario Kart Wii with the wii remote, the Thrustmaster wheel functions like an additional wii remote for choosing characters and races. The pedals work for acceleration and braking, and, I find that the racing wheel has a nice feel to it. It can be set to one of two sensitivity settings.
I also found a sheet showing the button presets for Mario Kart on the Thrustmater support website. For instance, the brake pedal also functions as a drift button. My daughter loves it. She races with my 14 year old son, who uses the Wii wheel that came with the game. But they both prefer using the Thrustmaster racing wheel, as it is easier to use and more "fun," than the standard wii wheel.

NOTE: Thrustmaster Technical Support has informed me that Mario Kart Wii is the ONLY Wii game that supports this racing wheel.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - ok, but too small
The peddles and wheel work well and are a snap to set up. And the price is good. But the wheel and pedels are too small for my liking. I thought my wingman was small and this is even quite a bit smaller than the wingman. Should have spent the cash on the momo in the first place.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not really compatible with Wii.
I purchased this wheel cuz the description stated it worked with all game platforms and I have a Wii. When I received it and read the instructions this wheel only will work with downloaded virtual games for the Wii with use of the classic controller. Needless to say I sent it back.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - as advertised
PROS product operates as advertised when hooked to a PS3 I haven't tried it on any other game system.

CONS for the price based on it's versatility and functionality as judged against other driving controllers I have used this one has it's design negatives but it's an unbeatable value for the casual game user!
