I'm asking this because I keep seeing this spoiler at the beginning and wonder how a gamepad is better than a keyboard for this game? seriously.

Keyboards are "digital" where the input is either 'on' or 'off' and it does work for the game, however a gamepad -specifically the xbox 360 control that they show in the game is analog where the user can have more fine control with varying degrees of movement - small movements and larger movements translate better to the characters actions seen onscreen. Basically it's analog joystick movement vs keyboard keys, when it's a battle between those 2 analog joystick is (most often) preferred. Also, I chose gamepad for the poll but gamespot isn't accepting my vote.

Gamepad is superior. Even the developers say so. Some genres are just better played with a controller.

The Xbox 360 wired pad. Works quite well from my experience but I have not given the game a go with the keyboard.

I tried with keyboard, 360 controller and ds3 controller, but wii remote worked best, had the most comfortable d-pad + run/jump buttons being so soft.

Wireless Xbox 360 controller

Tried it with a keyboard. Completely useless. Even the easy levels became a real struggle.

I'm using a 360 gamepad, I'll try it with the keyboard later.
