Poll: Mirror's Edge

[RavingPenguin]

I love the game, its a nice game just to sit down and relax to. The running flows well and it has a great visual aesthetic. As mentioned though, the combat has a bad habit of dampening things. I love the time trial where combat isnt involved, those are the best.

Don't believe everybody whose been whining about it. It's a solid game: a good way to spend a little bit of time and chill, especially if you're into parkour and/or action/chase sequences.

I highly recommend the game.

 

[Sacman]

not a great game but at least its original and not bad...

Mirror's Edge is a game I will defend to the end, yet I still am not sure exactly what it does right. I just know it must be brilliant because it makes the palms of my hands sweat like a hog's back (I know, disgusting right?). It certainly was a gem in the rough and had some bad levels, but in general, I really thought it was something special. The first-person basic running gameplay was stellar, the art design was breath-takingly beautiful and a welcome change after the contemporary focus on 'realism' that has been ruining modern gaming art, and the soundtrack worked brilliantly. I agree with the critics in here though that the gunplay was unnecessary - they could have just left it out and it would have been even better. The quicktime events in cutscenes were a completely retarded addition, and the hand to hand timing disarms were pointless.

There's certainly some replayability in there too, with the timed levels.

A sequel with the stuff fixed would be great. My cousin thought it was frustrating. Then again, isn't all platformers frustrating?


Note* Only played like 15 minutes of it. I remember I was pretty interested. I still am.

It's really a shame there won't be a sequel It would have been very interesting.

It's a perfect, short game. I still go back to it often, though; what levels there are are still thrilling to replay.

 

[Kinghoza]

Cool game but very short

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I liked it, but the combat broke the flow too much and it was pretty short.

 

[NathanAjax]

If you can get it cheap, you should get it. It isn't the best game, but it was unique and quite enjoyable

 

[Sky Captanio]

I liked it anyway. Though if they make Mirror's Edge 2: Please more levels were you jump across roofs and stuff. A lot of the game was inside. I loved the prologue where the entire level is across several skyscrapers but after that it's all INSIDE the skyscrapers.

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

depends on how much of a graphics nerd you are.
and how easily you are frustrated by platformers.

I didn't like the game but that's because of the FPV. If it was 3rd person I'd have enjoyed it a lot more.

If it was 3rd person it would've been Assasin's Creed.

I liked it. I didn't love it, but I picked it up for aroun £7-8 so I have no complaints.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I liked it, but I'd recommend either renting or buying it when its cheap as it is a bit short and the speed runs ARE IMPOSSIBLE

 

[ButanicXpandA]

Great game but almost zero replay value.
If it weren't for time trials, i would have sold it

 

[Ph33nix]

I'll tell you in a few hours I just bought it as one of my 3 games in the gamestop buy 2 get 1 free sale.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

You should have a "In the Middle" option. Its good, i nice relaxing game compared to most of the other first person games so far. But its short as hell. So if its for a cheap price pick it up, if its not cheap then get it used or just rent it.

 

[Robert632]

it was a god game, unless you want a decent story, which it doesn't have, and don't mind beating the game in about 4-6 hours.

 

[Gunn01]

I didn't like the game and couldn't get into it. Returned it after a day
