I'm not 100% sure how Gray Matter will control on Xbox360, but I think that directly controlling your character on a console (with the analog stick) feels better than dragging a cursor round the screen.

However, then there's the issue of selecting which hotspot you want. One solution would be to highlight hotspots within your characters "reach" and tap LB/RB to cycle through them, A to select.

Neither method is perfect, as point & click adventures are always designed for PC first, and Gray Matter doesn't seem any different. It's always best to play a game on the platform for which it was originally designed, unless a better piece of hardware comes along later, of course.

Ironically, one of the worst control schemes I've used was in the PC version of Tales of Monkey Island, where you click and drag Guybrush to guide him around like a drunken sailor.
