Gameplayer review:8.0

"t's a true sci-fi experience, with other-worldly music, a unique colour palette, a futuristic setting and unconventional Parkour-inspired gameplay. All this from a developer who, to date, has been content to carve out a niche in the online war genre through their Battlefield series. This is something new, something fresh and it cannot be ignored. But at the end of the day, is it any fun?"

sorry if old

PS Official Mag UK also reviewed it:

"You've never played anything like Mirror's Edge. It's a genuine original. When it's good - like when you're soaring between two rooftop cranes, pigeons scattering and traffic thrumming below, or dashing between roaming sniper laser sights, breaking into an enormous needle-shaped skyscraper - it's a total rush. And even when it's not quite so good, when you can't work out how to get through a particularly tricky section, the compulsion to keep trying remains strong."

9/10

Theres actually quite a few out already, there have been about three nines, one ten from one of the official mags and a couple eights from random sources like this.

I liked the demo and I am getting the game. No score will change my mind. Unless all reviews say it's an half finished game, full of bugs and gets 1.0 all around...

I know a lot of people in here were impressed with the demo, but I was one of the few minorities who thought it was decent. I will give credit for the game being unique from other games out there.

Did they say how long the game was? In a few podcasts this week I heard people snickering about how short it was...it's a full-priced game, so yeah it does matter to me.

Why do all these "first" reviews come from places like New Zealand and Australia...where gaming isn't nearly as popular as Japan and U.S.

I can't believe people think an 8 is bad. Wow. This is why a 1-10 scale scoring system doesnt work. People really don't get what 7's and 8's mean. Meanwhile a 6 isn't THAT bad either.

Exactly. Although a 6 can be consider Average-kinda bad.

It seems like there is a big chance this game will be a huge flop on Giant Bomb. Jeff G. hates the game as indicated on BonusRound.

I didn't really like the game myself.
