Mirror's Edge User Review

Moments of beauty, accomplishment and relief dotted around pure frustration.

Difficulty:
Very Hard
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Mixed reactions"
This game is such a contradiction in terms. On the one hand, it's a beautiful, relaxing, impressive and technically sound masterpiece whilst on the other, it's seriously irritating and frustrating. There are times when you do make progress in the game and move smoothly from one area to another. However, the majority of the time you are falling down holes to your death or being shot by guards who don't give you a chance. There were honestly times when I played one 20 second scene over 50+ times and thus, the game took a long time to complete as I could only play it in pieces. SUCH an amazing conecept but the frustration leaves me with a sense of exhaustion/stress as opposed to the feeling that I just completed a great game.

It's an opportunity missed if I'm honest because this could have been incredible.

The sound effect are amazing too.
