It's going pretty cheap here too for a brand new game. $69 at K-Mart with the wheel.


You know, I really wanted that wheel, but it's not offered in the US.  Gamestop has an exclusive for this title and they aren't offering the version that has the wheel so I ended up buying a cheep one from them and am gagging from the fumes.

I heard this game is compatible with the Logitech wheel -- do you know if that's true?

I'm going to buy it tomorrow. I'm still in love with F1 World Grand Prix II (N64). For me, the best F1 game ever.

Yes, it's compatible with the Logitech Speed Force Wireless wheel.

One more thing -- the tuning seems to be really effective too.  It makes a huge difference in the way your car can handle turns.  There's an easy mode an an advanced mode where you can adjust brake bia, gear ratios, aerodynamics, tire pressure, suspension, etc.  I haven't gotten in to too much because I don't understand the aerodynamics or suspension, but I have customized brake bias and gear ratios and used the easy slider for aerodynamics with great results.  It made a huge difference in how well I could handle turns.

Sweet.  I can get it for $10 more than the classic controller here so I think I may just pick it up.

The tyre conditions and weather effects make a huge difference as well.

I heard it's a good game, might pick it up later on.

It's easily the best racing game on the Wii if you enjoy not worrying about blue shells and lightning strikes.

No blue shells?  Next you are going to tell me there are no Bullet Bills. So how do you win the races?
