The GT3 they scored in there earlier review was a GT3 v1 Fanatec wheel not the GT3 v2 which the GT2 is based on. They stated that in there GT2 review, that's why it has a higher score.
Is GT5 not as refined in force feedback as FM3?

I like the G27 ffb as you feel a little more even though Gt3 is smoother. Helical gear produces less drag than gt3 belt.
The main reason is the G27 smaller wheel. (Gt5 is design for 900 degrees wheel) I set my hands at 3 and 9 o'clock. With this I'm able to turn 540 degrees with speed with one hand staying on the wheel. It's a little tougher with GT3 as it's fatter and wider. I still use Gt3 in Gt5 but for pure racing I use the G27.

has anybody out there with a pwt (original not the S) ever succesfully re-centered the wheel with some kind of calibration technique cause the instructions on how to do it never work.. i see the letters on the wheel, rsr or something. but it never truly perfectly centers. gt5 needs settings like nfs shift had for the wheel. in game modifiers. like steering deadzone most importantly to get rid of that non sense shake from left to right in REALLY fast cars. later

best ff experience so far has been nfs shift sadly. gt5 has to do something for their crown gem. all the wheels are being downgraded. it's already nice enough that people like me cant get new firmware in the wheel. so shafted

although I prefer FM3 to GT5, I have to admit that GT5 has better force feedback implementation.
much better.
much better.

I am owner of both Logitech G25 and Fanatec GT2 and have tested them to death on my separate rigs.
Without going into any further debate I will only conclude that Fanatec still haven't been able to successfully implement all FF libraries in their firmware for proper PS3 HID-controller support.
Please do not forward me to internet-reviews and compares of those wheels because people who wrote those have all highlighted themselves incompetent with those.
Fanatec is still working hard on implementation of proper HID-controller firmware and on their Blog they even highlighted a need to develop a separate firmware for proper GT5 support.
Although I find GT2 a magnificent piece of hardware (I have CSP pedals too), there is much work needed to be done in software department. I just hope it will come sooner than later.
As Forza support via GT2 is concerned, it definitely works better than Microsoft FF wheel (I had it for 4 years, now replaced with Fanatec), but it is the same XID-controller driven FF as it was with MSFF wheel. "Better" comes only from the overall feeling, because GT2's motors are doing the best job they can with that 15-years-old software technology that Microsoft implemented into X360.
Also, this is my original post regarding this matter and it is still 100% valid:

Forza (both 2 and 3) force feedback effect is just "interpretation" of force feedback effect through rumble-effect. So we can't even talk about real force feedback effect, despite Turn10 did a great job in overcoming obstacles of ancient libraries on their disposal. I hope Microsoft will realize how much they would gain for their franchise and console overall by letting proper HID-support take place in their hardware.
And I can hardly wait the day when my GT2 wheel will provide me with the same amount of detail and strength in force feedback effect as G25 does.

Nice one Amar, you pretty much summed my feelings for the GT2 vs G25 as far as GT5 goes, I haven't tested the wheel on anything else other than Forza yet.
To say I am dissapointed when using the Fanatec GT2 on GT5 in an understatement, does anyone know for certain if there is some more compatible firmware coming soon?
