Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines is played using a mouse and a keyboard. The controls are quite simplistic, similar to most First-Person Shooter games, especially Half-Life, where the player targets his attack with the pointer at the center of the screen and commences the attack using solely the mouse.
