If you're into movie trivia, this is a well-reviewed game for a fabulous price. It comes with the game and the 4 controllers. Plus, you can buy new questions via Xbox Live. And it has online play.

Scene It? Box Office Smash game and 4 controllers $12.12 @ Amazon



Here's some sample 720P gameplay:

Here's the settings I use for Forza Motorsport 4, and I enjoy the wheel at this level. By lowering the amount of deadzone, it feels more twitchy and instantaneous so now it feels spot-on accurate, feeling every nuanced movement I make. I haven't had the wheel long so I'm still tweaking them. If anyone has settings they feel are better for this wheel, please let me know!:

My settings:
steering axis deadzone inside: 0
steering axis deadzone outside: 40
acceleration axis deadzone inside: 0
acceleration axis deadzone outside: 40
deceleration axis deadzone inside: 0
deceleration axis deadzone outside: 40
clutch axis deadzone inside: 0
clutch axis deadzone outside: 40
handbrake axis deadzone inside: 0
handbrake axis deadzone outside: 40
vibration scale: 100

The default Turn10 settings (which I don't like):
steering axis deadzone inside: 1
steering axis deadzone outside: 95
acceleration axis deadzone inside: 15
acceleration axis deadzone outside: 100
deceleration axis deadzone inside: 15
deceleration axis deadzone outside: 95
clutch axis deadzone inside: 15
clutch axis deadzone outside: 90
handbrake axis deadzone inside: 0
handbrake axis deadzone outside: 100
vibration scale: 100

It has accelerometers that can detect motions in all directions, meaning there's potential that this wheel can be used for flight simulators in the future. However, currently, only some driving games support the controller.

The negatives have been discussed in other reviews so I'll give my take on them. There are no bumper buttons (no LB and no RB). This is a major omission which doesn't affect gameplay in Forza Motorsport 4 (though it makes it harder to go through some menu settings) but it does affect how many games the controller can be used for. For example, this would be a perfect controller for a game like Ace Combat: Assault Horizon (an arcade flight game) but that game heavily uses the bumpers so the game developer would have to develop a game that didn't need bumpers in order to use this wheel.

The other negative is that there is no headset jack in the wireless wheel. This means if you want to talk to your friends while playing with the wheel, you either need a wireless headset or you need a Kinect.


I wouldn't use a wheel (any wheel) in a game not designed to support a wheel.

Check your email. There's a Newegg coupon code for 20% off 360 accessories and it works for Microsoft Points cards.

I used it on a 4000 points card to bring it down to $40. Unfortunately, I live in California and they charged sales tax but it's still a good discount.
post #3426 of 3687
I guess I didn't get that email. Do you have the code handy?

ugh....not sure of others perspective on this game but have to say, the dullest zombie game I've ever played. It did so many things.....just so utterly wrong. Suffer through picking up endless oars and pipes (A pipe should kind of last, like, forever...not 15 whacks to a zombie...if Oars fell apart the way they do in this game, nobody would ever own a rowboat)....just to get a gun, only to find gun combat in the game sucks completely. Would have improved immensely if it had been designed for 3rd person.

Also didn't help the PC version suffers from the same limitations as the console versions, you'll see items and shadows and details drawing in 15 feet in front of your character the entire game. Gets a little old.

Never tried it multi though, I guess that is what makes it more tolerable...

This is an amazing game, but not for $20.00, it was available with both add-on discs for like $9.99 in the past...$20 is a little steep, even though you will absolutely get $20.00+ out of the game if you play all the missions.
