You can use a gamepad or a keyboard. Unfortunately, you can't steer your vehicle with the mouse; although, you can fire your weapon with the mouse. Steering and aiming with the mouse would have been much more intuitive, especially with a fast-paced game like this. I mapped the WASD keys to my gamepad's left analog stick and I use the mouse to fire my weapon, but even with the analog stick it's difficult to maneuver, aim and fire. If I could steer the vehicle with the mouse, this game would be much easier to play. It's still a very fun game to play, but just one additional control option (mouse steering and weapon firing) would have made a big difference.

For example:

W key - Accelerate/move forward
S key - Brake/move in reverse
Mouse - steer vehicle with aiming reticle
Left mouse button - fire primary weapon
Right mouse button - fire secondary weapon

As videogames10 replied, the game is playable with keyboard and mouse.

I am partial to WASD with most top down titles... but having tried it with both a keyboard and a gamepad I can't stress enough how much better a gamepad makes this title.
