What are Mouse/Keyboard Controls?

[Storm_at_Sea]

I searched the forum, but couldn't find the information. Can someone tell me if it has rebindable keys, or WASD at least? Is it arrows-only? Mouse works in menu? Mouse-look in game? Thanks- trying to decide if it's worth it for me to buy or not. Thanks for any 'helpful' information.

I see the demo- but they're not always same versions.

WSAD+Space+Esc OR Arrows+Enter+Esc
You cannot rebind the keys.
Mouse works in the menus. Mouse look in game doesn't exist.

What personally puts me off:
- bad cameras - all 3 have very limited field of view and it's hard to see what will come up ahead (especially when you are speeding). Standard camera is additionally tiresome as it is set up at some strange angle - it also follows your car which means "it is not up to date with your current position" - it just results in confusion.
- grind (to unlock all cars and 1 000 000 coins achievo)
- tiresome boss battles (I just don't like idea of bosses at all, so I didn't like this idea anyway)
- tiresome "Escape" gametype during career. You have to escape from a wave that is chasing you. It's hard - way too hard compared to the rest of the game. TT is a fast game and there is a lot of clutter in the way - this doesn't help either. Add bad cameras (+bad angle to one of them) and you will swear playing this mode. It is make or break in terms of achievos and definitely not fun.

Thanks swenor, that is helpful. I've always heard mostly good about this game, nice to hear the other side of the story from a M/KB pov. I would want to 100% if I got it. It will have to get pretty cheap before I put money on it- to ensure I at least get that much out of it. Will try the demo before next sales this month.

Good luck. You are going to need it. AI is a total ♥♥♥♥♥ - they are unfair. Right nowI had to use someone else's savefile as I had no chance against one boss, which locked me out from remaining cups/races. AI will block you, bump into you, and use powerups effectively. They are also very precise and winning against them becomes impossible for me. I have to add that clutter in the street is a big annoyance. Car control is abysmal (are we on icerink?). Later races become significanlty faster and the bad camera I mentioned makes thing dire.
Boss battles are stupid as ♥♥♥♥. Sorry, but that feature is nail to the coffin. They are such a chore.

I wish I read your post before - I woudl have given away the key as I hate this game, and in my opinion it is unnecessarily difficult. Some design decision are simply bad. I wish they had two modes in this game - classic and modern (meaning easy). I will give this game thumbs down for obvious reason and for a personal reason - I just don't enjoy it. Quite the opposite - it's frustrating. AVOID unless you are a big fun of the genre.

Really, for the last two cups you have to be diagnosed for ADHD to handle the pace.
