Mirror's Edge™

(The rating represents my enjoyment I had with this game and nothing else) Don't expect a fluid gameplay in your first run like you see in the trailer. I was sometimes stuck, didn't know what to do, considered a walkthrough and sometimes I felt forced to beat/kill the enemies to progress though the game is clearly designed as a run only game. The game was only fun when the pace was fast and the flow perfect. It was sometimes like that, but the moments I had to look for the next step or looking up a walkthrough, because of having no idea what to do, happened to often and tainted the experience for me. I recently gave the game another shot and came to the conclusion that if you remove the beautiful music and art design there isn't much left that was worth my time. Playing it after a year I still needed help. I really wish there would be more elements marked red, so I would be able to just run while always knowing where to go. To get the experience I expect I either need to replay the levels several times or watch someone playing it before I do so. I'm not here to hate this game, I just want to represent the game from a different perspective and maybe even informing others who might have similar preferences then I do. I'm happy for everyone who doesn't have my issues or has different preferences so he sees the game in a different light. As long as there is at least one person who had a great experience playing it, the game has a right to exist.

This is a run and jump simulator.

Combat sucks badly. Last level expects the impossible of you. You drop off the side about 75 percent of the time while creeping to the edge. Great visuals, gameplay needs a lot of work.

Just installed this game. It won't launch. An Internet search reveals this seems to be a common problem.

The keyboard/mouse controls are so badly done as to make me wonder why they even added them. In the tutorial, which is as far as I could tolerate the interface, only controller buttons are given for what to use, regardless of what method of control you're using. I bought it as 85% off, and still feel like it's the worst $3.89 I ever spent. I can't honestly say I would recommend buying, or even playing, this game to anyone.
