    I would highly recommend using and xbox 360 controller with your PC. Ahh comfort!

    Got this for pc and THEN went out and bought it for xbox simply for the gamepad, we all know PC is the gaming superior but not when it comes to to ehh a direction other than WASD :| a gamepad is needed.

    Brilliant game but not meant for PC it needs a pad to pull off the 20+ combos. I have a PS2 pad as my PC gamepad of choie and CBA setting it up.

    It does look nice on PC but its Unreal 3.2ish so in fairness it would look nice without breaking the PC limit of godliness.

    As a review its Metroid for the GC with actual combat that harks back to the days of final fight with added bonus of the GODDAMN BATMAN, seriously brilliant game. Pissed off i didnt try this last year and only getting to it now.

    I found spending €30 for a gamepad was a better idea than spending €45 on the same game twice myself.

    You do know the PC supports 360 gamepads right? Even if it's wireless you can buy a receiver for €20 :confused:

    ^^ best way to do it. Already had the controller so got the reciever and working perfectly.
    Easily best controller to play and finish game with!

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, but was thinking of picking this up next, and was wondering if anybody had gotten the GOTY edition? Would it be worth the extra dosh?

    Standard Edition: €23.49
    GOTY Edition: €32.49

    Also if anybody could recommend somewhere cheaper than play.com that would be great!

    34 in game in liffey valley for pc

    use a decent gamepad tbh difficult to play it with the KB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,945 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    i played with the keyboard with no problems, never even thought to break out the gamepad

    Wow, now here's a game I haven't played since completing it. Never was that bothered to collect all the Riddler trophies & solve his puzzles (although they were quite fiendish and addictive). It was still a classy game all the same, quality stuff.

    +1 on the keyboard though: I played it with the mouse + keyboard and found it quite natural, it certainly felt like the devs put somet thought into the PC controls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,140 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Same, used the KB and mouse and had no problems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,365 ✭✭✭death1234567


    Nice to hear the KB+mouse option works well, I just bought this and have no joypad for my PC.
