This game is just plain fun. the frist person platforming is a cool thing for them to try and it is just a blast. trying to find the fastest rout you can and getting your record speed run never seems to get old, for me anyway. The combat is good, but its not a game based around that, and trying the game on hard is, well, hard. the runner vision is off and you have to figure out what to do, unless you memorized the whole game.

I feel that this game should have gotten atleast an 8, it is very well done. the graphics are great, its tryign something new and pulls it off very well

I couldn't even get through the demo. It has to be the most stale game I've ever played, though this game seems to be a love or hate kind of thing.

It's underrated but not much. I'd give this game an 8 myself. Very fun and original, but rather short.

i was actually very hyped for this game originally

the demo kind've dissapointed me, but i think it's just because i played it after the portal demo which was so much cooler

There are too many short games these days, like COD 4 being at 5 hours and such.

Yeah and that's a shame. COD4 has atleast an online portion that keeps people comming back to it. Mirrors edge is SP only so yeah, one would expect it to be a bit longer. I haven't beaten the game yet because I don't want it to be over that quick lol. I've been playing it on and off between COD5 MP sessions with friends. Currently on chapter 6.

I really love it. So original and visually striking. And dunno where people are getting short from, it takes me around 45 to 60 minutes per chapter, including time figuring out routes and deaths. That's about a 7 - 9 hour game, plus all the time trials.

Your almost done with the game, that game should had more modes besides a time trial though.

The demo is good, the visuals are great and the control feel very accurate, but to be honest is kind of frustrating some times, the game seems good, but not underrated, it got 7 which is good, so i dont know but the score seems fair to me.
