i picked up the MC2 at a local used game store for $30 with a fishing rod, the interact light gun, and an arcade stick. i have to admit it's pretty damn good. the accudrive controls allow you to set how sensitive the wheel is...which i wish i knew BEFORE i started using it, because it was originally set to the least sensitive level, so i'd hit like every wall.
i mostly use it to play crazy taxi, which plays very well with it, but i could test some other games and get back to you guys on this one. also it mentions having force feedback, but i didn't feel anything. so there may be something wrong with mine...

I don't remember any wheels on the DC having real force feedback. I think it may just mean it has an extra slot for you to insert a rumble pack.

Bingo. My wheel advertises feedback, but it just means I can put a rumble pack into it.

BE CAREFUL if you plan on purchasing more than one MC2. I've got 3, and somewhere during manufacturing MadCatz changed the button layout on the wheel. Kind of annoying if you're trying to navigate your friend through menus, but not a problem if you've only got one.
