How does it play with mouse and keyboard?
I played Asylum on PS3 and the control is perfect for this type of third person fighting game. Are the controls on PC as good or is it better to play with a pad?

I'd say it's better to play with a PS3/360 controller, but the keyboard and mouse controls are actually pretty decent - I use a 360 controller on my desktop and keyboard and mouse on my laptop and both work very well

xbox 360 controller for PC, sometimes one type of xbox controller will work wired vs wireless

It's all personal opinion, but in mine I feel that PC controls handle just as well if not better than my PS3 controller (I played Asylum and City on PS3). Like I said, it's all down to opinion but I found the controls were fairly easier and faster on PC.

Personal opinion (like Saikusu-Sensei says) but the PC controls flat out sucked so bad I wouldn't play the game. Owning a few games that suck badly without a controller, I finally ordered one and started using it (Sabertooth Elite) to learn.

This game is very enjoyable even when I have no friggn clue how the hell to use the controller still (ok... what's RT vs RB and ... let's see X is hit, Y is avoid ... oops...)

Honestly this game would still be sitting with 19 minutes on it if it were just keyboard and mouse due to how nasty it is to play it this way.

But - again, personal opinion on it but one based upon playing games like Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and probably close to 80 or so other games without one.

its a piece of cake with a mouse would hate a controller for this game.

Plays perfectly with keyboard and mouse, even better than Arkham Asylum.
Asylum had some sections where the camera was locked rather than rotating, which were clearly designed for controllers.
In city though I can't think of a section where they did that, and the normal Batman controls worked fine in Aslum anyway.

I play most games with N52 but this game, tombraider, metro last light, batman origins, work much better with xbox 360 controller for PC

I think its pretty good with the mouse and keyboard. True it is a bit tougher than a controller, as there are less options with one, but that just makes it more fun for me

I like keyboard+mouse much more than a controller. I just find it terrible not to be able to control the camera and do other stuff at the same time because I, unfortunately, only have one thumb on each hand. But then again I would rather chew all my fingers off than play anything but 2D games with a controller so I guess it's a matter of preference.
The rule of thumb is that its always better with keyboard and mouse, unless its a platformer, racing, japanese game, etc. It always comes down to preference, but personally I find pc controls to be better(much more so with console focus titles)
