Hello, is there anyway to use a PS2/PS3 controller with this game? I've tried, but the buttons end up getting mapped out all weird and it doesn't work. If not I could always use my 360 controller, but I prefer my Playstation controller since I've been playing my PS3 soo much lately, the 360 controller feels weird now.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

PS3, no.

PS2, is possible. There are USB adapters for that.

I wouldn't say it wouldn't work, it would just require a bit of extra tweakage. Both the Xbox and the PlayStation have the same amount of buttons on their controllers.

A/B/X/Y -> Triangle/Square/Circle/X
Start/Back -> Start/Select
L/R -> L2/R2
White/Black -> L1/R1
2 Analog Sticks -> 2 Analog Sticks
D-Pad -> D-Pad

So, it may take a bit of tweaking in the controls section, and it may not be possible, but by all means there is a fair chance, given every button can be accounted for.

The left and right joysticks can also be bushed down like buttons and are called L3-R3.
