 Makes driving a blast! January 1, 2009
I purchased this, as a second wheel to use with the Wii MarioKart game, when multiple drivers would be playing. I'd seen cheaper wheels on the market, all made by non-Nintendo brands, but I opted to purchase the official wheel, since I thought $10 was a great price.
The wheel was a simple, but had a great design. It allows for the wrist strap to poke through the back of the wheel and be attached to a wrist, in case of crazy driving! It holds the Wii controller very securely, and still provides easy access to each button on the remote. It feels solid and durable, and I'm never afraid that it will come to pieces, should it be dropped or knocked around while playing.
My family and I really enjoy the feel of the wheel when driving in steering games. It provides a more authenic feel when racing and makes driving, turning, and dodging a lot easier in general. Sure, you could continue to play with your remotes and nunchucks, but why would you? The wheel provides a more "real" driving experience, and won't empty your pocketbook in the process.

I use the wheel for ALL wii tilt ability driving games.
It's still takes up at least 50% less room then the wheel to desk simulator accessory for other systems.
It's designed well, makes taking the remote in/out easily, the B button is done simply & well & even has the IR window to point to menu choices in between each race so you don't have to remove it.
I've used it for Cruis'n, Hot Wheels, Need for Speed games & it always helps me drive. With just the wii mote, I tend to over-steer easily, especially on corners. With the wheel, I really feel more control & when feel need to move, I will be happier with smaller movements that keep me from overreacting.

Okay, you "can" play Mario Cart without the wheel, but it's not as much fun. The wheel just makes the experience, so I'm suggesting that if you are going to buy an extra wheel for your game, buy one for everyone in the family! We didn't do that and now are having to go back and rectify that situation. The reason is that Mario Cart is so much fun that everyone in the family wants to play. And nobody wants to sit out.
So bite the bullet. Shop around for sales or buy them now, but don't wait for Family Night.
Enjoy!
Great wheel December 27, 2008
My son uses this wheel for Monster Truck World Circuit and Cars Maternational and he loves it. Great value for $9.99. Far superior to the wheel that came with the Monster Truck game - it left a sticky residue on the Wii mote.
