I have it. If you don't have the wheel, GET THE WHEEL. I'm talking about the official Logitech one. I played the first day without the wheel, and today with it and the difference is night and day.

maybe because on the first day that you played it, it was nighttime, then when you played it with the wheel it was daytime.. lol seriously though which wheel do you have? is it the G25 (the $299 one)?

I got it. Game is ****in amazing, best racer I have ever played. I was a lil put off at the fact you can't mod the cars but screw it, I need all the money I can save if i wanna get the F1

And the wheel is a yes for some cars, I just got the F430 and omfg need a pedal. I dont kno if its just me but with the X button its either on or off no middle ground, so till i get the steering wheel traction control for me with that car.

Wait, what!? You can't mod the cars? No exhaust, suspension, sticky tires, ect..? Hmm...I don't know if I want the game any more.

As for the X button, on the PS2, it was progressive. If you pressed the button down half way, it gave you half throttle. I would hope the PS3 controller is the same way.

actually, there are no aftermarket performance upgrades in Prologue. you can still tune gear ratios, ride-height, weight-removal, etc... just nothing aftermarket to throw on.

Does anyone know if the game supports all the features of the G25 steering wheel? (clutch and 6speed?)

So how do you up the HP, upgrade tires, suspension ect? If they took away the stage 2 turbo and race exhaust (excellent HP mods for the money) I'm not gunna be happy!

It wasn't a nightmare with the controller, but the steering wheel just completes the game. You feel like you're really driving with it. Online you can tell who has the wheel and who's using the controller because the controller people have a slight jerking of their cars when cornering. The only thing I don't like so far is that people online can't drive for iiish! They bang you into the wall and cause all the good drivers to crash or go through the grass (which is a shortcut penalty). But you can earn good money quickly on this game. I've only played it a total of 1 hour but I already have an '07 GT-R. I still haven't completed my C license yet however

They had to leave something for the full GT5 when it comes out. I'd also be willing to bet that graphic mods like in Forza would be in the future as well.

Looney, don't let the limited modding keep you from buying the game. You need to get it regardless.

Oh, I was thinking they left it out in GT5 the full game. If it'll be back, then I'll get it.

I JUST got prologue, but I suck at it... the higher up cars are hard to drive with controller, and that is the only reason I bought this game.

If I feel like setting up the wheel there are much better games, so this is my kick back with controller race game...Starting to get it though.

I doubt thats true since even PS2 had a pressure sensitive x button, but just re-map gas and brake to L2+R2, thats what I did. (or use the right analog)

The only part I don't like about this game is you don't have a choice on who you play online....(unless I'm doing something wrong)Also, I saved up enough money to buy the million dollar Ferrari and it wouldn't let me.... I've got all my license's and beat every level except for 2....they are nearly impossible... I can't get better than like 7th place for some reason.
