G25 Vs Momo?

Endurance Man

So finally i have found another racing game worth playing! (Test Drive) Me and my bro are thinking about getting a decent wheel for the game, play it to its full potential!

From what iv heard from reviews and mates the G25 is pretty damn good, and i like the 6 speed shifter with clutch, i can practice driving . Test drive takes full advantage of this and u can actually stall the car ^^.
Then there's this Momo one which i tested in Harvey Norman a few years ago, it felt really cool!

So which do you guys think is better? Does anyone have either and whats the verdict? Was also told about this Xbox 360 wheel that runs on the pc, but its USB powered , cant be to good?

Cheers
Endo!

G25 owns all,simple as but test drive?
Are we talking console or pc here?
Reason i ask is there are so many vastly superior titles out there on pc.

G25 FTW.

The only Momo worth getting is the "red" one which has been out of production for some time and commands a premium price used.

The 360 Wheel SUCKS!

PC of course , and i havent come across any decent driving games, then again i dont think iv been looking very hard, what did you have in mind?
Reckon i will go with the G25 then, seems like a safe bet.

All of the above are real racing simulations,they are not your typical so called sims like gran turismo etc and as such are not for everyone.

The unofficial home of any pc racing game or sim worth mentioning and their respective mods is at racesim central,an absolute massive community of pc racing sim enthusiasts.
Just go to forums and navigate to the message board of whatever sim ive mentioned to learn more.
Theres also a harware forum and racing hardware forum where you can learn more about the G25 and other wheels.

Hope that lot keeps you busy for a while,, enjoy
