In order to test the Novint Falcon I used it for several days playing a multitude of the supported games. I won’t be going into as much detail as I normally do for this testing section because most of the experience can be seen from the videos on the previous pages. I will state this for FPS’s the Novint was incredibly adaptable and had even more control then all of my gaming mice put together. The addition of the recoil made the experience all the more impressive. Just for a laugh we decided to turn the Novint recoil all the way up in halflife 2 and hop on the turret. Due to the fact that the Novint is used for both look and recoil, turning the recoil all the way up would be the equivalent to trying to hold on to the turret without a tri-pod or mount and then try to hit a target the pistol grip and the view on the screen were all over the place. For FPS Gaming I give the novint a

10/10 (for both accuracy and enjoyment.)

As for the mini games the novint performed without hiccup on everything from slingshots to golf clubs. I was so impressed with the degree of interaction the Novint provided I ended up spending hours on games I never would have bothered playing for 5 minutes with a regular mouse. For interaction and the amount of fun it provided for mini games I give the Novint Falcon a:

 10/10

I love force feedback driving wheels and I was a little skeptical when Tom Novint Urged me to try XLR8. How could a ball on a stick be better then a real racing wheel? While I would say the wheel offers a little more as far as realistic handling, the Novint mad up for this with the incredible feeling of the gravel under wheel and crash response that most racing wheels emulated horribly. For racing I give the Novint a solid:

8.5/10
