do you have to have a racing wheel to play? is there a specific wheel that i should buy?

No. You can play the game with a controller. You do not need a racing wheel. As far as which racing wheel you should buy, I don't really know because I don't have one. But I would assume that any racing wheel would work as long as the game supports use of that peripheral. It's a fun game so either way, I think you'll enjoy it. Have fun!

Turning is relatively quiet, compared to the driving force gt. If u use the manual shifter it's quite loud, shifting, but the wheel turning isn't that bad. It does make a bit of noise tho but you should be fine if the there are others in another room. My girl sleeps in the other room when I sometimes stay up l8 to play, but it doesn't bother her. I would recommend. Good luck!

I wish I could answer that for you but I too am a novice at hot wheels. My son is getting into them and this is our first purchase. I would call a toy store and ask them or get on hot wheels website and see if they have a chat room or forum to ask. Hope this helps.

No, you need to purchase the track cog, lock ring, and probably a chain whip (unless you want the cog to spin off when you SKIDDDZZZZZZZZZZ).

G25/G27 is not compatible with the Xbox 360. You're somewhat limited in selection of wheels for the 360, but I'd recommend a Fanatec wheel. Preferably the multiplatform 911 Turbo S (clutch/H-shifter), but check their site out for yourself and see: www.fanatec.com Microsoft's wheel is decent to start out with, but if you're playing Forza 3 I'm sure you'll eventually want more. Also, there was an excellent wheel shootout at www.insidesimracing.tv I know you asked the beginning of Dec, but on chance you haven't made up your mind I hope it helps. Good luck.

Play Station has stopped supporting the on line races that they used to provide every month in GT5. I would buy a used GT6 game if you like the time trials. GT6 did not provide any extra races on the online part like GT5 did other than stupid time trials. I thought it was easier to tune your cars in GT5 and had over 700 cars that I owned. GT6 is harder to earn lots of money and there isn't many cars that you can win. (maybe 20) I haven't played it in several months as I got bored with it, something that didn't happen with GT5. If you have a large garage full of cars with GT5 then it would be good to own it again if you can buy it at a decent price. The racing dynamics are not noticeably better with GT6 and some think it is actually worse than GT5. I know Sony is still tweaking it to make it better like they did with GT5. It might be worth while to get it if you can buy it cheap. Certainly not $50 like I paid for it when it came out. Maybe 25 to 30 dollars would be reasonable. Hope this helped you.

You will need the adapter. Bought mine at the same time i ordered the wheel.

yes they are great to run the game with! You can use any type of PC wheel or xbox controller, anything with an axis, as the controllers can be programmed to any part of the game -hunter

I used the controller for the entire game, even tho' I have a Fanatec CSR. There's a lot of none racing stuff to be done. The game froze constantly, especially with the none racing stuff. Can't say if they fixed that. You might want to check online to see if the servers are still up for this title. Reason? Tons of online cheevos. Boosting partners are a must! TA helps. The DLC is mostly a poker game with connective issues that made it's frustration level a 10 when trying to get parties together. Weird. Hope that helps.All that said, the racing parts were fun! Good cars, smooth controls. Looooong game. I used the controller for the entire game, even tho' I have a Fanatec CSR. There's a lot of none racing stuff to be done.

Purchase an additional controller and nunchuck. It may be helpful to purchase 2 steering wheels for the Mario kart game as well. I would make sure the controller and nunchuck are manufactured by Wii.

No, a steering wheel is not needed and you can use the standard Xbox One controller.

Yes you do have to use both feet with this game seat because of the post that holds the base where you attach the wheel. I wouldn't let that bother you that much unless you are trying to get serious for real life racing there they use the toe/heel for gas and brake. I can tell you that I really like the seat even though I don't use it that often. I recently built a platform to mount it on and put small caster wheels on the bottom of it so I can easily move it around the room. I also ended up making a stop at the top of the pedals as they didn't want to stay in place as good as I would have liked. If I needed to buy another one this would be my choice. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it. Yes you do have to use both feet with this game seat because of the post that holds the base where you attach the wheel.

No. Not at all. You can just hold the remote control that comes with the wii sideways and still play. The wheel is just an accessory that gives you the feel that you are driving.

The steering wheel is not a necessity for any player. Most people I know prefer to play without it.

No... Not always features are plug and plug. I know I tried and really not worth your time, stick to the original when it comes the wheel portion.
