Well, which is it?

I have a Logitech mx-518 and a Saitek Eclipse. Also a wired Xbox 360 controller.

I only played the demo, missed all the sales for the game, but enjoyed it a lot more using my 360 controller.

I have an Xbox 360 controller, but I found mouse and keyboard more intuitive. You can move a mouse around must faster than the joystick controls.

The game is very one button oriented, so a lot of action is just done with your mouse hand.

If you know how to use it. Controller all the way. If not, you better off with the keyboard.

I just started replaying it 2 days ago. I played it the first time wit hmy keyboard, but this time I am using a wireless 360 controller. I have to say, I prefer the controller more. It makes everything feel natural. This game is definitely a button masher.

It's a game you could definitely use a controller for...

But imo, you can get better accuracy and performance by using a keyboard/mouse. To me it feels more precise and natural.

It's a third person game. If you like using a keyboard/mouse to control your character from a 3rd person perspective, then it'll feel natural to use that kind of setup.

Xbox 360 controller. I still didn't really think it was worth playing though.

I tried using the keyboard, but kept getting my ass handed to me in big fights, cause I couldn't move fluidly enough. Switched to controller.

here is an idea...try both the kb/m and then controller for yourself and see what you prefer.

id use both and see what your comfortable with.

Sometimes the mouse is easier for camera views then a game pad is.
Other times you get more key options on a pad, then a keyboard.

So try both and see what you like.
