@jayskoon93: I don't know about the other versions, but on the Xbox One Catalyst actually looks worse than the original game. I did a video review and have some comparison footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkw4pbGCweY
@kyse2: I loved the original, and this one doesn't compare well against it. I posted a video review along with some comparisons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkw4pbGCweY
I was so very much looking forward to a Mirror's Edge follow-up. The most underrated game of the previous console generation, and I had just earlier this year revisited it and completed the Xbox 360 achievements.
I should have known there would be trouble when even Game Stop wasn't doing a midnight release. I picked it up this morning at Walmart. The very quick install raised a flag... could the game be short? Oh yeah, it's brief alright. Mirror's Edge wasn't a long game, but it had a gameplay mechanic that was easy to grasp by took skill to master. Catalyst dumbs down that nuance. It's easy, through and through with no hint of challenge. Those complaining about the short game play last time got their wish: a bland, lifeless open world full of item hunting.
I'll be posting my video review later this week: https://www.youtube.com/user/VaughnJogVlog
Came here because I've been seeing the ad on TV, and it didn't look like a PS3/Xbox One title as much as it looks like an Xbox 360 title. The ad has all that last gen shiny face Unreal 3 look to it.
