Interesting take on the commercial failure of BG&E...

Do i need a gamepad for the PC version to enjoy it?

It's really a console game, so for it to be as good on a PC you need to make your PC feel like a console. So yes, you'd need a game pad to be comfortable. I personally think the TV effect actually improves the graphics too, since on the PC the high definition means you can see the relatively low resolution textures and such, while on a TV that slight blurring masks it.

I only played the PC demo so I don't know how the full game is, but I immediately thought it both looked and felt better on my GameCube. If you have a console then get it for the console is my best advice.

As someone who owns it on all 4 platforms...

PC's graphics are on par with the Xbox overall, but can be run much higher resolution - I actually preferred the visuals by far at 1600x1200, but felt the gamepads were much more solid than the keyboard/mouse. default GC/wavebird controller was the best fit, methinks.

Visually: PC, Xbox, GC, PS2

Gameplay: GC, Xbox, PC, PS2

Sounds like Xbox is the way to go for me. I should finally check it out.

I've never played it, although if there's a port I'm tempted. It's meant to be quite similar to LBA so if you like this, you'll probably like that. (Funnily enough, the person behind LBA was french too!)
