We bought an extra wheel because this game is so fun and easy to play! I would highly recommend this game for smaller children and older adults who aren't into gaming and don't want to learn the multiple buttons on some of today's video game controllers. Two buttons (gas and shoot) are all you need, just use the wheel like a steering wheel and you're off! There are a nice variety of games to play as well as different environments to play in to challenge just about everyone.
What's great about it: Zero learning curve.
What's not so great: thumb position for accelerator
