Mirror's Edge

[Callisto]

Just wondering who else picked this up this week, I got mine last night and I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. I hear it's very short, but I suppose that's a good thing as I can get back to my business in FFXI faster, probably rental material but I got the nifty Runner's Bag with the pre-order.

I played til about 2:30 last night(was an hour late to work, lol), got stuck on the mall level but still the gameplay is all kinds of fun, the game is relatively challenging, and I like how there are multiple paths/solutions for many parts. The music is cool, the only downside I notice is when you are moving slowly(like in elevators) there seem to be some framerate issues.

Anyways, anyone else having fun with it?

Waiting on a price drop here. I hear it's another 6 hour game and the demo didn't impress me enough to pay full price for a 6 hour game.

I is interested, but can't pick it up until late Jan, and who knows when I'll get time to play it w/ all the games this season I'm missing....

Re: Mirror's Edge

I've heard good and bad about this game. Originally, from demos and preview vids, I was really interested in the game. But after reading some reviews, it sounds like the game has a few issues with it. I think I'll still rent it anyway and judge for myself if it's worth the 60 bux.

Pardon me for saying so, but this one doesn't strike me as a linear experience.

Length should never be the deciding factor of a game's value anyway, its replay value on the other hand, should be.

But I have a feeling this one will have low sales for a rather specific reason:

Boys are scared of games with female protagonists, Metroid and Tomb Raider notwithstanding.

Re: Mirror's Edge

It's linear? Kinda eliminates the point of a parkour game, doesn't it?
