I will try those games as well - thanks. Yes, I really enjoyed the rally courses on GT3!

Liam, I bought a Saitek USB controller which looks a lot like a PS2 controller. It has force feedback as well. It took a little effort to get it to work with NFS Hot Pursuit 2, but I did get it to work. I still have some issues - like the controller settings are not being saved. The game finds both this controller and my Logitech joystick, but it claims these controllers are not "specifically recognized."
