Mike, when you say "get a wheel controller" is that true for the PC version as well as the consoles? In other words, without such a controller, what does the PC have you steering with, the mouse or >shudder< arrow keys?

If it's the mouse, is that not doable or does this game really require the added expense of a special accessory?

Failing a wheel, you'd probably want to use a USB gamepad or joystick. I can't imagine racing on a PC with the keyboard....

I have done all of my PC racing stuff (TDU & Trackmania) with the keyboard (yes, arrow keys). I had the chance to play a bit with a wheel controller, and definitely think it would be a nice way to play this. Particularly *this*, where you can race or just cruise the island, so you can let your kids take the wheel for a while and have a blast.

Wheels are awesome. The downside is you really need somewhere you can permanently set the the thing up along with some pedals. Without that it becomes a drag to pull out of the closet everytime you want to play for 15 minutes.
