I bought this racing wheel for the XBox. I am playing it with Project Gotham and it is AWESOME! Great quality construction, the steering column is actually bolted into the console. I has a digital power meter and allows you to configure the wheel turning radius. This product far exceeded my expectations and I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a wheel for XBox.
Sweet!!!

This wheel makes Project Gotham Racing. I liked it before I had the wheel but now I love the game. The wheel is much more sturdy than I figured it would be plus if you are using the wheel on your lap there are two pieces that pull out of the bottom to help the wheel from sliding too much. I really like the sensitivity of the wheel and the analog gas and brake pedals are awesome. The very nice touch was force feedback which seems a little week at times but at least it isn't too strong. The only thing I can't get used to the buttons on the steering wheel itself since I have trouble using them and turning the wheel at the same time. This isn't a big deal since most games don't use too many buttons other than gas, brake, shifting hears, and handbrake. Overall a great product that made Project Gotham Racing much better.
better then any other wheel

this wheel is great. i just bought it with all my birthday money and i got project gotham and halo for my birthday present. so the wheel has evey button that the controller does and it has a memory card port. the peddels hook on to the side of the wheel. the peddles are way differnt then all the other peddles, it goes down instead of back. the wheel has rubber grip and it doesnt hurt your hand. it has suction cups so if you have a table it sticks, or it is designed to fit on your legs and its comfterble.
Honestly I am very pleased with my wheel.

I purchased an MC2 wheel probably 6 months ago now and it still works great today. It has been heavily used by many adults and children alike; it's great fun at parties when put on a big screen tv.
I've had no problems at all with PGR2, Nascar Heat/Thunder 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, Burnout 3 or SegaGT. The 'dead zone' in the middle of the wheel is very small and if set right doesn't exist at all. The wheel has a 90ยบ turn radius which throws some people off at first but is pretty easy to get used to.
It has both leg 'clamps' and suction cups so it can sit on your lap or a table. The foot pedals do slide a bit depending on how you step on them; I only use my right foot (like driving a normal car) so my left foot is able to hold the pedals firmly in place, however some people use right for gas and left for break, which tends to push the pedals forward quite often. We usually put a folding chair in front of them to avoid the sliding.
The size of the wheel isn't bad at all, it is smaller than a real wheel but I find it to be rather fitting; it works for all ages. We've put probably over 1,000 hours on it now and it's still going strong. If you're a fan of using a stick shift, you'll find that to be probably its biggest drawback; it doesn't actually shift positions but simply clicks up and down, and is more often than not just a hassle to use...that being said, we never use the stick shift, but no one has ever complained.
All in all, I love it, and so does everyone else who has used it. Since my original purchase, several others have picked them up after trying mine because it was so much more fun. Even if it's not entirely realistic, it adds another level to the game. Some compared it to playing House of the Dead III without light guns. I plan on purchasing another in the near future so two players can go head to head with them.
Great way to drive in style with the xbox

Sensitive, highly adjustable turning range AND dead zone size. Makes games like NASCAR Thunder or HEAT much easier. Leg braces on the side are good. You might want to use some masking tape to hold down the foot pedal component while using.
