Well, I have to add my name to the myriad users of xpadder. I had been waiting for Dead Rising 2 to come around for ages. I had actually purchased my Xbox at the same time that the original DR arrived. After several days of unmitigated frustration at the lack of 360 controller support for the PC, I started to read the STEAM forums. Obviously, since I am posting my review here, Xpadder not only worked for Dead Rising 2, but it has made the game much more accessible. And by "much more" I mean that I did not play the game until I was sure that there was controller support (thanks to xpadder). It literally changes the entire experience.
See my post on Steam...
