Hello

I hear both good and bad things about Mirror's Edge, and was wondering if those that bought it would recommend it or not.

It definately looks interesting, but I heard it was insnanely short and lacks multiplayer.

Yes! I would even pay 60 for it. I enjoy the hell out of that game. 5 dollars is a steal. I would have bought it from the Steam Sale today, had it not been for the fact that I already own it for the PC.

I bought this an hour ago. I've already beaten it on 360 back when I gave it a rent. Definitely worth it. It plays much better on mouse+KB as well.

I rented it on the 360 and I got really frustrated with it. I just bought it on the PC and realized that it is really a PC game, not a console game.

Just bought it for $5,,,what a deal.
Still downloading though, very slow. Can people do me one favour, pause their downloading of this off Steam, so I can get this through quicker.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.;)

Play the games???? With this Steam Sale happening I've gotten into a situation of buying and not playing. I'm a shocker in that for say 100x PC titles I have, I might've completed 5x. 360 titles = never finished any, yet I still came home today with Forza 3. Is this a problem I should see a doctor about? :shock:

It's $5.55 in Aussie Dollars, which is cheaper than a hamburger. That puts it into perspective for me.

I purchased it.

That's what happened with me and the D2D sale. I ended up with 5 or 6 games I never played again after the first sitdown with them. Saints Row 2 is the only game I absolutely enjoyed and am still playing.

As for Mirror's Edge, it's a fun and unique experience albeit being too short. If you have the patience to figure out the fastest routes through the chapters and courses, then it's a blast.
