Playstation 2 Cobra TT Wheel
This is a great accessory for the new player or a more advanced player! Scary to think your kids may be picking up some bad driving habits very early on! As far as durability of the Cobra wheel it WOULD NOT stay put with just the suction cups that it came with, even with the more gentle driver. I ended up using a luggage strap to keep it anchored on top of a TV tray by going over the base just behind the steering wheel. This works great as long as I don't have to lug a suitcase anywhere soon!! Overall the whole family from a 40something down to our 12 & 7 yr old, are having alot of fun with the Cobra Wheel!!
Works, but a little difficult to use
I was excited to get this product as I hoped it would provide a better driving experience. Unfortunately, I found the product difficult to use. The floor pedal worked fine (on the carpet that is, otherwise I think it might tend to slide if it were on a tile/wood floor). The steering wheel was difficult to adjust to. The main problem was it was difficult to afix it to anything to keep in from moving. It is hard to hold it on the lap and move the wheel, so we tried setting it on a TV tray, which was better, but it tended to slide off when we made a rapid turn. There was no way to attach it to anything...we tried duck tape, but it ripped off. Finally we lashed it down with cords, and it stayed (more or less). If there were some way to screw it onto a table, it might work better. Anyway, my sons and I were unable to achieve the finer movements and quick adjustments we could get with the standard joystick, so we ended up abandoning it. Now it's sitting in the corner gathering dust. Bottom line is that it works, but it is somewhat clumsy to use, and the joystick provides superior response.
Cobra Wheel
Controls are good but base design is lacking. Suction cups will not hold controls securely to surface and will require additional restraint in order to use control effectively.
Cobra TT Racing Wheel
The racing wheel was fun to use at first,but it takes awhile to get a feel for it.It was a little hard for me to turn the wheel,but i got used to it.The only good place to use it is the living room where there is probably a table in front of the tv.Otherwise you have to move a table back and forth after your done with it.If you use a small portable table it would have to be a heavy one otherwise it would shake and move a lot when you turn.I didn't have time or space in my room for a big table so i had to have my brother hold the wheel down for me on a small movable table so it wouldn't unattach its self and so the table wouldn't move.I didn't have a problem with the wheel it was that there wasn't any good place use it.
Good basic steering wheel
My 10yr old loves this steering wheel. He uses it with his PS2 and Gran Tourismo 4 game. He says it's helping him learn how to drive when he gets his license! Ha! The two issues I've noted are 1) The pedals are not that durable. My son stomped his foot on the brake pedal and broke it the first day. I opened the back and glued a broken plastic holder piece in place. Then it worked fine again. 2) Got to get something to place the steering wheel on or else it will not be stable when you're using it. We used a large thick book as a table base. Overall, it works fine. My son's having fun and hasn't broken it, yet.
