I purchased Prototype earlier today, and when I got home I realised I can't find my Xbox 360 controller ANYWHERE, and I was looking for hours.

Therefore, I was just wondering if it's easily playable without a controller? E.g. just using the keyboard & mouse. I'd try it out myself but I don't wanna unpackage it & install it to try only to find out that playing without a controller is horrible, as I won't be able to return it once it's been opened.

Thanks.

Why would you ever want to use a controller for the pc? Mouse + keyboard is always better. Yes I have played Prototype and the mouse + keyboard is better then the controller.

Well with 3rd person games like this and Spiderman, Hulk etc I prefer using a controller.

lol what are you talking about? I never had to use f11 or f12 to choose my powers I used the mouse wheel. And you can always change the controll settings. (or I changed it to v/b can't remember).

it is easier to use keyboard and mouse. all you need to do is hold R then move mouse to select your power.

Thanks guys, just installed & played it then.

One word - AWESOME! This game is so much fun, I just hope it has a bit of lastability. It seems as though you can go through it within a matter of hours. Ah well, I'll have fun while it lasts I guess.

it's fine with keyboard and mouse, you don't need f11 and such for powers

I don't have experience with using a controller, but I think controlling Alex with the keyboard and mouse is plenty easy to do.
