For those who played the Mirrors Edge demo (It's out in the US now btw)...

What are your thoughts?

I love it! I wasn't going to buy it but after playing it, I think I might just have too. It is really intense and the feeling of jumping form rooftop to rooftop and busting through doors and disarming enemies was awesome!

i havent got the chance too, but my gf downloaded for me adn she loved it, so maybe ill get it for her but ill see how iot is when i get home, maybe ill either get myself a copy or just use hers but like u said was intense and feeling of jumping from rooftops to rooftops made her like it more, specially cuz its a girl charater too lol. says about time theres more lead girl characters lolJoKeR_421

Weren't you the guy who made a thread demanding to know where the update was? LOL

Just got done playing it and im surprised. It didn't interest me at all. Now however i believe i'm going to buy it. when your running from those baddies with guns I get a huge rush.

Its a game I wasnt expecting a lot from and now its a must buy to me.

The game isnt that great. I hope you can change buttons. Who puts L1 as jump, honestly.avataraang1

You get used to it.

Im sure there are different control layouts

The game is fantastic. Using the shoulder buttons for all the functions is simple and intuitive.BioShockOwnz

Yeah I loved it.

This game is amazing..

This just became a must buy for me.

I'm just worried that all the running and jumping is going to get old after a while. I'll rent.PS3videos

You could say that about any game, really.

Anyone have else have an "awkward moment" in the game when they went the wrong way or just didnt know where to go?avataraang1

Nope. The red points out where to go clearly. And if you're still lost then, press O.

I did once. When u drop out of the ventilation shaft and the squad of guys are sittin there, i didn't see the red door and went left instead of right tryin to be fancy jumpin off of walls and onto that stack of shelved boxes where i got shot and died...lol.

I'm really impressed by the demo. Left me wanting to play more, but i guess thats what a demo is sposed to do eh?

For some reason, having the jump and the crouch buttons being the triggers seems like...fresh? new? idk why it just feels really cool. Defenitely picking this game up =)

if ths were in 3rd person... it would have been a day1 purchase for me...ND_basic

It'd be too similar to other games like Prince of Persia. The first person aspect makes it different (in a good way) and some thing new.

I like it too. The vids b4 made it seem really easy and boring to play, but i after playing it myself it turns out to be rly fun. I figured that's because DEVS were playing the game in those vids, not noob players. I like the whole non-violent take on this game - it's one of those few refreshing games (along with LBP) among a catalogue filled with violent games. The thing is that the combat is a bit too slow and chuggy at times - u dnt even hav the option to turn off the slo-mo once u initiate it, which can get annoying. The unwieldy combat is probably the cause of the non-violent take, but that shouldn't mean teh combat should be slow =S. I'll wait for reviews, but so far this seems liek a must buy.

Any of you guys ever play the criminally underappreciated Breakdown? The way you do things in first-person is a bit like Mirror's Edge, except it's not a parkour platformer.BioShockOwnz

I loved Breakdown. That game was amazing. Man, I wish they made a second one.

hmm... i guess ur right...

but wouldve been cool anyway in 3rd person because of the environments.... i dont thnk theres any other game besides pop and assassins creed tht makes use of free running the way mirrors edge... or is there??

Mirrors Edge is now a must buy for me. This demo (as I posted in another thread) literally took my breath away. The vertigo, the tactile feel of the game, the AWSOME soundtrack and the brilliant voice acting are bathed in style and atmosphere that is both unique and actually COOL to look at.

I would have this game running in the background at a party just because it looks so damn COOL.

Awsome, awsome, can't wait for Nov 13 to pick it up.

i quite enjoyed it. certainly something ill buy in the future. looks lovely and plays nicely too.

however i hope they have some sort of free run mode. i was enjoying myself the most when i was free to run around the place like a mad basket. the enemies actually take away form the game rather than add to it imho. a game about finding the routes to ure objective and then running to it would be more enjoyable imho. maybe if the combat was more enjoyable then they wouldnt be so narly.

sins creed suffered from the same problem imho. enemies were just not fun and they didnt enhance the game at all.

anywho..yea looks pretty good overall. will pick it up.

I feel exactly the same.

I enjoyed it a lot, although I don't think I will buy it 1st day (too many things to play, too little time).

PS: Maybe I sucked at it, but... Did any of you have issues with the training mode? The part where you have to wall walk, turn and then jump again keep telling me "failed", even when I succesfully landed it several times.

Call me the crazy black sheep of the PS3 boards, but I want this over LBP and R2 now. I don't have either, yet, but Mirror's Edge went from #3 on my must buy list to #1. Scianix-Black

i second you buddy and i like your sig too ;)

they didn't use the face buttons because you're supposed to be using both the analog sticks to move and look around.

i really like it and its got a really nice clean art design, nothing spectacular, but it's effective. The first person view seems alot more natural then i thought it would be, i thought it would make you really dizzy moving around alot, but it really doesn't.

The games more difficult than i thought, and i hate the motion control balancing thing, i think the motion control in the controller is the biggest waste of space ever. The best i've seen it used was for grenades in uncharted, and even then it would of been way easier just to use the analog stick. Luckily you can use the left stick though in mirrors edge.

I thought the sound and voice acting was pretty good, especially hawk eye girl, can't remeber her name (main character).

I guess I'm one of the few who didn't like the demo, I found it really boring and awkward even after getting use to the controls and the combat was not fun though it looked cool.

I was never really that interested in it to begin with so maybe thats had an influence though I expected it to be better than what it is.
