Hey there!
I think Enclave is a great little hack & slash game and I like it a lot.
I also think that it controls very well with the mouse/keyboard-combination that the game uses by default.
However, recently I had wondered how the game might have been controlled on the original XBox. That is why I fired up my Pinnacle Game Profile an created a profile called "like on XBox".
The truth is, I still think that mouse and keyboard work better but it is very interresting to see how it controlled on the Xbox and it's nice to lean back and use your gamepad.
But then I thought to go one step further and create a gamepad profile that resembles modern hack % slash games - including a "dynamic" camera.
I called that control scheme "Custom" and it's currently the default profile.
You can clearly see in game that the game wasn't designed to be controlled this way as the character looks a bit odd when you play. Still, it works rather well so give it a try!
The profile can be found here (Letload-link):

This is a profile for the Pinnacle Game Profiler which can be downloaded here:

I think my profile comes very close to how the game was controlled on the PS2 (and possibly the XBOX) . The button layout is very easy and I also assigned buttons that apparently had no function on PS2.
And while it isn't perfect the game is - at least to me - a lot more fun to play this way.
Please try it (Pinnacle Game Profiler is free for 30 days and costs only 20 dollars) and give me some feedback what you think.
By the way: Pinnacle Game Profiler not only is a lot more flexible than, say, XPadder, it costs the same (I think) and, well, just looks like a more professional software.
There are also some features that I really love, like the way it sits quietly (and rather memory friendly) in the task bar and automatically detects whenever I start a game that I made a profile for (and, of course, automatically activates the profile and deactivates it after I quit the game).
I also use it for games that do have gamepad support but cannot assign the L and R triggers of my XBox360 gamepad (like Psychonauts for example). So I just create profiles with only these two buttons assigned.
