Reminds me of the early sonic games. The sense of speed is awesome. i also like tthe art design. it's quite refreshing from all the dark gritty landscapes seen in most games. i'll be buying it.

Its alright, but It seems it can get repetitive pretty fast, not to mention theres no multiplayer. (Unless Im wrong)

Its between Mirror's Edge and Far Cry 2 for me. I hear mixed things about FC2, but it's a huge game with decent online, and Mirror's Edge was amazing but I'm not sure about the overall lasting appeal.

The demo to me was new and exciting, it was especially fun when I missed jumps and was pummeled to the road below :)

I wasn't thinking much of it, but when I played it I think I am going to buy it now. I thought it was a lot of fun. I got the hang of it, and now I can kill every guard in the game. :) (I know that isn't exactly what the game wants you to do :P It is still fun though)

Lol FC2 online is not OK, in ranked matches (the only way to level up weapons) people stack and camp seriously, all through the matches i was, but you mainly use dedicated servers for it so there's no lagg so i guess it balances it out.

Really good, strongly considering of purchase.
Only bad thing is that it breaks my TV. I get this odd green dot in my screen. I also had the exact same thing playin Undertow.
I don't mind if Undertow is a bit broken but with such an great game as this.. :(

I Didn't Really Pay That Much Attention To Mirror's Edge Until I Got The Demo And It Was Just Amazing.

I Am So Getting It Along With NFS: Undercover :D

I heard that the single player was only really around 3 hours long (there are about 10 levels + prologue) so I'm debating between buying it or just renting for a week (I'm not to bothered about the online... time-trial ghosts aren't my thing especially when there will be some bright spark who tops the leaderboard with a time of 0:00 by gltching).

Downloaded It the weekend:) Interesting take on the FPS, which is essentially what the game is with some free running thrown in. I really liked it though, and the simple control system made it so easy to play.

I'm still undecided on this. I think the demo doesn't give me a good enough chance to try this game out, which is disappointing. Here is why: 1) only one level to play and is very straight-forward to beat. Just run straight; one, maybe two disarms. and you finish it. 2) No time trial in the demo. Unless I preorder I don't even get to see where most of the meat of this game is going to be. 3) With the limited amount to play it seemed odd to be hitting all the shoulder buttons all the time. especially with the standard controller setup where 'Up action' - 'Down Action' and the Movement analog stick were all on the same hand. Now, I have replayed that same level over and over to see if it was just me that needed more training on the controls or what. I also watched a speed run on youtube where there was some amazing footwork to get up the stairs really quick that looked really fun, but every time I tried to do it I had to do it while being shot. I've been tempted to 'pretend' to preorder just so I can play the 'real' demo to see if I would like it. But instead have lowered the game to 'read reviews first' status and possibily even 'rent first' before I buy this game.

Don't forget the awesome time trial features.

You try to get through courses as fast as possible and then you can get a ghost of your best time so you can try to beat it. You can also download the ghost of the player who is at the top of the leaderboard so you can see how they do it and try to beat it to become number 1.

I'm about to play it, it's downloaded as I type this.

Honestly the only doubt I have is the character you play as, A stereotypical karate Asian chick. How original.

Hopefully it won't be that big of a deal, and better yet, hopefully I'm totally wrong about the character.

loved it... it feels so futuristic and original... also reminds me of Ghost in the Shell a bit, but the graphics just make it feel..."cool." It's difficult to explain. hahaha

I really liked the demo and am thinking about buying it. My only concern is how long the main story is going to be. Is it really only going to be about 3 hours long? If it is then I'm just going to rent it.

if it's only 3 hours then the person who gave it a 10 out of 10 in the commercial needs a new job...lol

I thought it was fun, but I don't think I will buy it. More of a rental for me.

I thought the demo was really fun, it's a nice change from all the blow the hell outta everything shooter. Unlike most of you living in North America or Europe, I don't have a choice to rent but I like the demo enough to purchase the games, although I'm going to wait a while because there are just too many games I have to play. Plus the other ''must buy'' games coming out.

In regards to those concerned by my "3 hour gameplay" post.

That is just what I HEARD from someone. It doesn't mean it is true, although it could be.

Basically, with 10 levels, it is around 18 minutes per level. For a game in which the level is running from A to B with no real need to stop, it is not looking unlikely to be 3-4 hours. I'd hope for it not to be though, although the creators could have shortened the game to stop it being repetitive?

ME rocks, I've played the demo like 15 times there's something addictive about trying to do sections as fast as possible without screwing up that no other games ever gave me, I mean I hate having to do that in racing games but I love it in this.

Every game gets boring one way or another. I thought that the demo was fun but probably not worth dropping $60 on. That's just my opinion.
