Don't play the game just for the trophies. I looked at the list way back when and it didn't look easy to me.

Time trials and speed runs are hard. I got a couple of them, but got stuck on one and haven't gone back to it since (by getting stuck I mean I was trying the same speed run for about 2 hours straight over and over again, and couldn't do it). It is up there as a pretty hard platinum. Eventually DOABLE I'm sure, but it is something that seems it will require time and patience.

The speed runs are very challenging and require a lot of patience. We're talking about playing a 10-15 minutes gameplay section over and over again until you do it near perfectly.

Yeah, it's not even hard because it requires skill, it's hard because of trial and error, making it incredibly frustrating. You can run a perfect line in a whole speedrun session but if you screw up even a little bit, it'll cost you seconds, which will cost you the whole run, causing you to have to start all over.

Sounds like my kind of game though. Perfect Dark Zero on Dark agent. If you screw up you have to start the whole level over again.

I never even tried, I just play my games for what they are. To me trophies aren't neither bad or good, if I get one it's cool but I won't go out of my way to get them all.

I have the plat... its not very hard... the only thing that I had the most trouble with was the Chapter 2 speed run.... man that part gave me a headache. the rest of the trophies are moderately fair. If you want a hard platinum I suggest going for SF4 lol :P

I have the plat and it's not nearly as hard as say Killzone 2. The only parts that are hard are the time trials and speed runs. Of course if you YouTube walkthroughs of the levels it becomes pretty easy. It's probably going to look easy when they do it, but once you try to do it for yourself you'll realize it's pretty hard doing an entire level without making a single mistake. Keep at it and you'll get it if you try hard enough.

Im afraid you're wrong here. While the game is essentially based around trial and error, the speed runs require lots of skill! Firstly, you have to work out which line is the quickest, then you have to hit every maneuver perfectly so you don't lose any momentum but instead gain momentum. I platted it, but thats mainly cos I wanted to get real good at it rather than for the sake of trophies, which is lame >.>

I never said it didn't require any skill, I said it's hard because of trial and error. Without skill, it's virtually impossible.

I have the Mirror's Edge Platinum. I think struggling for the trophies was the reason I enjoyed the game so much. The speedruns and time trials were the best part about this game.

Don't play a game just to get that platinum, if you did, you'd be on Warhawk for the rest of your life.

Me neither. I like to own. I only accept a beating if it makes me stronger. Like, I'd spar with Chuck Liddel if he was going to show me some moves and make me a bad @$$, but I'm not going to just keep getting back up and letting him knock me out again just cause he promised me a little shiny statue if I can take a hit without folding. :P

Don't do it.

I tried to platinum it but igave uppas it makes u frustrated and such. Not good for you. If you have a lot of time then maybe.
But there are plenty of other more fun games to platinum and are not hard at all.

Assassains Creed 2
Dead Space
Uncharted 2 etc

Mirrors Edge Platinum is one of the worst next to Street Fighter 4 where you need a fighting stick to perform actions you cant on a controller.

The races are what's going to be a pain. Oh and also finding the hidden packages.

lol, I know, right?

Seriously, it's f*king impossible. The story-related trophies aren't hard, but the time trials are hell.

Don't even try. I bought the game, and loved it, but I wouldn't think of platting it.
