I posted this on gaf:
Alright, I got it to work by tricking my computer into thinking the controller was for Player 2 (not that this game has 2-player) while setting the control scheme to kb+m. Nice work, Codemasters!
Anyway, this game is actually pretty enjoyable. I know this will probably...
Someone over at NeoGaf, who interviewed a dev, confirmed that the game is basically the Enchanced Edition with changes made to the engine, animations, and GUI/controls. The game itself remains the same.
