Post by: Penfold on March 13, 2006, 12:00:22 PM
Do I have to use a steering wheel for  this game or can one manage with a keyboard?

and I'm looking for GT Legends right?

Well technically you can use the keyboard and you can get the car around the track without crashing... but all the fun, the handling and such comes with a wheel. Also the wheel gives you an enormous advantage so in order to keep up - read: have fun dueling -  you will need it.

I bet Ron would say "Yes! It is a sim! Not need for speed!"  ;)

Yes it is this game: http://www.gt-legends.com/index.php (http://www.gt-legends.com/index.php)

OT: Oh, and how I love that avatar. Makes me smile everytime  :D

Any info on a decent Steering Wheel etc max £50 (or is that being silly)?
When I say max £50, I obviously mean as near to 0 as possible (I am from north of the border after all).

You could do worse (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2217,CONTENTID=11066) than one of these. Available from here. (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Steering_Wheels.html) A snip I'd say. Go go go!  :D

Thanks guys...

I'm going to get the game and if I really get into it will get a steering wheel. In fact with the LAN coming up in a month I'd like to try a steering wheel one if that's OK to see how it compares.
