The (un)OFFICIAL Mirror's Edge Thread(z)

...just added the Z to make it seem more official.

So, has anyone put some playtime into the gorgeous demo of this game? I downloaded the demo from XBL this past weekend and I was VERY impressed, to say the least. The control scheme is very intuitive and the whole no-shooting-just-running gameplay is quite refreshing! Some small touches make it more immersive as well, like having Faith push out her hands when up against a wall, landing on your back and then having to "flip" onto your feet if you fall backwards, etc. The visual style is also very appealing - a very cold, dreary feel to the cityscape.

I am really looking forward to this - it might be one of the few games I actually consider buying this Christmas season!

Glad that someone gave it a positive review, I've heard some iffy things about it, but I kinda got the feeling that they were from people who didn't 'get it'. Looks very promising, I might also check it out.

I love the idea that you need to get past enemies without shooting them - you can do some pretty cool hand-to-hand combat though. But I prefer running away... and live to figh... errr... run another day. Seriously though, I recommend that everyone give it a chance.
