MrWally Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So I got to play Mirror's Edge at a friend's house today and I must say that it was absolutely fantastic. From the opening cinematic showcasing the brilliant art style transitioning into the fast-paced tutorial (no slow waiting for dialogue or info screens) and finally into the brilliant use of first-person free running and parkour. . . . I was very impressed. The music was fantastic as well. It completely fit the mood and feel of what little of the game I got to play and watch. So I was wondering, has anyone else here given it a shot? I've been wishing I had a 360 for a while now, but alas I don't and can't buy Mirror's Edge, but it should come out for PC, so hopefully I'll be okay.

BongoBob Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 It looks extremely fun, but it also looks like a rental/wait for the price to drop game. I really need to rent it though :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 The use of color was quite neat, too. I loved how every building you entered had a brilliantly radiant color scheme. It just looked so crisp and clean. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I played the demo and I wasn't impressed at all. Definately will not be buying it. The soundtrack is awesome though. Still Alive gets a regular play from me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 o_O The graphics are good but I don't think I'll buy it... I just don't enjoy playing as a girl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Wally, pretty sure a PC version is coming out in early 09. I think the game looks really cool, but no way a 5 or 6 hour game according to IGN's review is worth $60. Probably a good idea that most of you are renting or waiting for a price drop.

ET Warrior Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Fine by me... I just don't like playing as a girl... That's all... And the worst reason I've ever heard for not playing a video game goes to......... I own Mirror's Edge and I love it. I don't love the story mode, but the race mode is tons of fun, running around and discovering the fastest way across the rooftops. I do not regret my purchase at all.

Early 2009 isn't that far away. But the short story is a bummer. Oh well. The friend who showed it to me was playing through the game for his 3rd time, so he didn't seem to mind. Not to mention No Ones Lives Forever and Metroid. I pity him too. No idea how I could have forgotten Metroid. There are plenty of fantastic games with female characters. I can't believe someone wouldn't play them solely for that reason. It's not like you'll get cooties through the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
