So i am going to be playing this game tomorrow but before i do i need to know one thing. What is the control system like. One friend told me it was with the keyboard using the w,a,s,d key's but also another friend is telling me i gotta use the mouse. Could someone clear this up for me i would realy like to know. Im kinda hoping its alittle of both . thanks ^_^

    Well, you can choose. Default is using mouse and some keyboard, but if you select "compact keyboard" you can use the keyboard for everything(and still use the mouse if you wish). I use the compact style just because i like to control everything from the keyboard instead of constantly moving my hand from mouse to keyboard when i talk to ppl.

    Basically correct. The mouse controls, in my experience, are pretty bad; go with the keyboard. Actually, the best option IMHO is to get a game pad (SE recommends Logitech and I've been happy with my RumblePad 2--you even get force feedback support). Using a game pad to control your character works best in my experience (as shouldn't be that surprising for a game originally developed for the PS2).
