gareee: I recall playing this with mouse keyboard back in th eday, and it having a pretty accomodating controller setup, but before buying in, I'd like to find out if it recognises the xbox controller?
Also, any problems running nvidia and 1920x1080 (thats what our 82" tv displays)
shmargin: I recommend using
Glove PIE to set up your Xbox 360 controller to work with any game. Its no longer supported or updated, but dont let that stop you, its free and works with every game to let you use a 360 Controller. Setting it up can seem a little daunting at first, but you can use google to find existing profiles, even for other games, and then its easy to modify them to work with any game. For example, I downloaded a profile for playing MMOs with my 360 controller a long time ago, and continue to use that same base profile modified for different games.
I can probably PM you a dropbox link to one of the profiles I use if you want, or like I said, Google should be able to help you find some too.
As for the graphics, check my thread
here for my opinions and solutions for that.
