What did folks say about it so far today?:

"Played it, it's alright. I won't rant about it, since this IS a video review of it. In short, at least rent this game, definetly give it a try becuase it's quite good. They did a great job putting a new spin on something that is used a lot. Some parts of the game can get quite frustrating though, as he stated. Ugh, SO very true. -.-'

The story and art style are alright, but I still reccomend people at least rent the game and try it. It's not a game that's going to appeal to everyone. Don't just play the demo!

A great idea, but not for those who get motion sickness easily, as stated by Penny Arcade XD XP "

"I like the building jumping but that first person view would be obnoxious. They lost it from the start..

Again, the BGM is completely detached from the narrative here. Whoever put that together should stop. Because it's as if he isn't paying attention to the narration at all. The speaker and the BGM need to be put together better.

And 8.3 seems a little high though metacritic was 81 (but keep in mind how heavily advertised this game was and imagine that 10 of those metacritic points were paid reviews). "

CRITICS CORNER:

GameGuideDog gives it at 89 out of 100: "Just what we wanted! A fun innovative FPS with a good single player story and even more interesting MP mode!!"

911UP
As a game steeped in immediacy, Mirror's Edge is an absolute must-play despite its idiosyncrasies. And as a pied piper for progressive design in first-person gaming, it's all the more important.

903DJuegos
Mirror's Edge is a videogame that definitely deserves a try. Its short length is the only complaint we can mention about the campaign, because its an incredibly innovative title with a very powerful graphical side and an addictive gameplay proposal. A nice launch for this new saga that replaces the word 'brief' with the word 'intensity'.

90VideoGamer
Combine a thoroughly entertaining single-player campaign with a stunning and challenging time trial mode and you'll soon forget that you managed to run through the story in six hours or less. There's depth here that you'll only discover hours into time trialling a single stage, and as we said, no other game released this year comes close to being as cool.

90Meristation
We put on our trainers in order to start running through the skyscrapers of an enormous city. Mirror's Edge is an unique platforming game, very realistic, with a very special point of view in the genre. A huge experience, very different to what we have played previously, with an incredible gameplay and great atmosphere. It's the beginning of a brand new series that can provide us with many satisfactions.

90PSX Extreme
It's unlike any other first person adventure out there, and that alone earns your attention. It's addictive gameplay will have you coming back to it long after you've beaten it, even if the full quest only last six hours, thanks to a surprisingly fun Time Attack mode. It's superb visuals and presentation really make all the more engaging, as do the intuitive controls.

90NZGamer
The story flows too, as Faith unravels her mystery. Between the chapters, which are all go, are artfully animated cut-scenes, which explain what's going on.

88GameZone
The game does a terrific job in both challenging and entertaining. The story is solid enough to hold the elements together and the world that the game is placed in supports all the elements. This is a well-designed game.

85GameFocus
Even if the game is short and frustrating at times, we can't go without saying that Mirror's Edge needs to be experienced by every gamer. In a time where sequels and uninspiring titles are flooding the market, seeing this game hitting store shelves is refreshing. Now, we can't wait where DICE will take the franchise as it has already been confirmed as a trilogy. Kudos!

85IGN AU
It's great to play a game that – in many ways – is so pure. It's not about collecting. It's not about leveling up. It's not about getting a bigger and better gun. It's about movement, style and momentum. Combat aside, DICE has taken a significant step forward for the first person perspective with this game, and you should all check it out.

83GameTrailers
First-person platforming is certainly nothing new, but an entire game built around it is. It works and comes across as a new beast, just don't expect a lot of play time from it unless you're obsessive compulsive. There's still room for refinement, but anyone who's curious, jump in.

83IGN UK
More than just unique, it's a thrilling and stylish venture to untapped territory that's assured in its firstperson take on platforming. Though an inane plot and limp combat see it falter briefly, the strong visual design and dynamic mechanic ensure it still emerges as a game to be celebrated.

82Cheat Code Central
A valiant effort to revolutionize gaming by a courageous studio. Largely, DICE pulled it off. But, there are several nagging spots that hamper the experience; repetitive environments and interactive elements, touchy controls and occasionally poor detection, and an uninspired story leave a significant amount to be desired. Even so, I found Mirror's Edge to be a truly unique and rewarding experience that I feel fortunate to have played.

80Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
Overall, however, the game does an admirable job of balancing the natural limitations of attempting to recreate parkour in an interactive medium. [Holiday 2008, p.76]
80TheSixthAxis
There's not a single part of the game we didn't enjoy replaying, it's a visual tour-de-force (albeit a rather minimal, Designers Republic style affair) and the music is to die for (and has it's own player in the options). Could have done with a co-op mode, perhaps, but the promised DLC will surely keep us going for some time.

80Game Informer
Mirror's Edge's gameplay is adrenaline-filled and beautifully tailored, but the experience does end up feeling a bit hollow as the game runs out of new tricks to show the player. In the second half of the game, I started second guessing if I had already run across a particular section. I also became so in-tune with specific challenges that I could do them with my eyes closed...Regardless, this is one of those genre-defining games that everyone needs to see. DICE has pulled off a miraculous feat that hopefully will inspire other FPS developers.

80GameSpy
A bold experiment for DICE. It's a dramatic departure from the "Battlefield" games, and provides a refreshing experience to those willing to invest the time in its strict control mechanics. The combat's unfortunately its Achilles' heel, since it lacks the spontaneity of the free-running and in many instances brings the action to a crashing halt.

80GamePro
If the level design had focused more on open environments and giving you the freedom to run, and if the combat wasn't such a roadblock, this would have been a near-perfect game. But it's still a great first step and I can't wait to see how DICE improves upon the formula for the sequel.
80G4 TV
The animated sequences are less than stellar, the plot is trite, and the game feels like it was pared down at the last minute. Despite all those flaws, the running-based gameplay makes you want to forgive everything else. No other game is quite as exhilarating and uniquely exciting, and it's this part of the game you'll remember most.

80DarkStation
This is a fast paced, high adrenaline experience that manages to really impress.

80D+PAD Magazine
Despite DICE's uneasy underhandedness to force players into more conventional situations that the game simply isn't built for, Mirror's Edge is an impressive experiment and a compelling title that revels in its unique mechanics.

75GameShark
Mirror's Edge is not the fully-fledged Parkour game that I was hoping for, and it stumbles over and over in its attempts to be a shooter. It can be needlessly frustrating and begrudgingly repetitive, but equally and truly awe-inspiring. If you can trudge through the story, the Time Trials provide one of the most intense and liberating platforming experiences to date, and ironically, it just might inspire you to turn off the TV and get outside.

74IGN
A classic example of some awesome ideas that just didn't pan out the way that was originally intended. The list of moves could be more expansive -- maybe by adding a fourth button to the mix -- and the world feels entirely too constricting for what could be a huge open city. Couple those gripes with some unappealing combat and a sometimes buggy design and Mirror's Edge falls short of my expectations.

71Play UK
Mirror's Edge offers an exciting alternative to the usual FPSs, but isn't quite as revolutionary as it should have been. Still, if you're after style over substance, Faith offers thrills and spills beyond the average action game.

70Total Video Games
With only eight chapters Mirror's Edge is a particularly short game and the only thing that extends this is the trial-and-error gameplay. You're constantly left feeling as though Mirror's Edge needed something else to sustain it.

70GameDaily
Dodging bullets and narrowly escaping capture (as well as an addictive Time Trial mode) make Mirror's Edge worth playing if you have the patience to survive its concrete jungle. Yet Faith's limited punches and kicks result in tedious combat, linear routes make the city surprisingly small and accidental deaths force you to restart numerous times.

70GameSpot
Mirror's Edge is many things: invigorating, infuriating, fulfilling, and confusing. It isn't for everybody, and it stumbles often for a game that holds velocity in such high esteem. But even with all its foibles and frustrations, it makes some impressive leaps; it just doesn't nail the landing.
