Mirror's Edge

[hoochan]

Alright, so I watched the trailer and played the demo and this game looks ****ing awesome. It's about freerunners who deliver information in the future because every other method is severely tapped so this is the only way that information can flow without outside sources leaking in. Can anyone who has this game tell me if it is worth getting?

This game is worth buying twice incase you scrach the first one.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I bought the game the day it came out. Since I'm a member of Texas Parkour I thought I'd give it a go. It's a great game but it's a pretty short run when you know what you're doing. I'd say it's better for a rent though if you want to just play it once and that's really all it is for since the game is quite short.

Re: Mirror's Edge

If your anything like me you will play time trial over and over again.
If you like parkour and you like video games you will not be dissapointed.
Plain and simple.

This is perfect. I don't have enough money to buy the full game, though I would really like to.

If your anything like me you will play time trial over and over again.

This pretty much says everything that I've done with this game so far.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I have this game and I think it's great. I've only played it through once but I'm considering playing through it again on Hard difficulty. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that you need to sign up for an EA account in order to get on, or see, the ranked leaderboards for the time trial.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I only played the demo but even the demo was insane. I'm tempted to actually buy it.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Reviews in general are mixed. I haven't purchased it, but I borrowed it from a friend and beat it. The gameplay is pretty slick, and the graphics are clean/interesting, but the game itself is quite short, and it had a lot more potential, given the nature of the engine and what was possible. There were some really awesome scenes, but I feel like the entire package was rushed, in a way.

It's still a really fun game, in my opinion, but I'd probably wait until the price drops down before considering laying down the dough for it. As others have said, you'll likely end up whoring out the Time Trial thing. The single player mode takes just a few hours to beat. I'm personally holding out for a sequel where things are more fully fleshed out.

So, I'd recommend renting it, beating it, and then buying it only if you love it.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I wouldn't say mixed, I think they're mostly positive.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Eh, perhaps... I think it's still debatable (it certainly isn't a BAD game, but it could have been a lot better).

I'd still, nevertheless, recommend renting it first.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Amazing game IMO. Seriously I found myself playing it for a whole day straight.

That looks nuts. I can't wait till January when that comes out.

...I guess this means I should wait a little longer to rent it so that I don't have to rent it twice.
