Hold B, I would imagine O on the ps3, it'll point ya right.

I knew where I had to go I just couldnt figure out what wall/jump/grab combination I needed to do, but got there in the end.

 

Short but sweet. Could have been a little big longer, story a bit more engaging etc etc...

Is there any Multiplayer in Mirror's Edge? If so how is it?

The only multiplayer is time trials, which is probably what's going to absorb most of my time in the game and keep it going for months. I haven't seen them first hand, but I gather your times are uploaded to a global leaderboard (or is it regional?) and you can download ghosts from there or your friends against which you can 'race'.

Just like in Mario Kart Wii really, which means it must be awesome.

Wait..

There's no multiplayer, the game is allegedly short (I tend to take at least three times as long to beat a game as anybody else, what can I say, savor the flavor), and is a linear game at that?

What's the point in me getting it, then? Can I do extremely impressive tricks and vary them while playing on the hardest setting, or will I have to do the same trick to reach the next platform while bullets kill me that much quicker?

The former, yes; the idea is to try out different approaches. This is especially important in time trials (which I stress adds a lot of longevity for those who like to shave seconds off their times).

Edge Magazine in the UK have given Mirror's Edge 5/10... 50%. That's pathetic, and it's got me in a right mood. Edge have always been a bit pretentious, but this takes the biscuit.

Any of you lucky Americans got your undeserving hands on the PC version of Mirror's Edge yet? I have to wait until Friday. I know, a whole two days. Christ...

So far it's getting better reviews than its console counterparts, with improved graphics, less frustration due to the precise keyboard & mouse controls and PhysX effects (fancy but superfluous eyecandy). Except where the reviewers copied and pasted their reviews of the console versions and pretty much ignored the changes.

Looking forward to the DLC too, which should be here at the end of the month. For those interested, it's a pack of time trial maps (really pretty and abstract maps at that, which reminds me of Tron and Mario), but as there's a general consensus that time trials are the best part of the game, this is a glorious thing.

I'm getting a copy of Mirrors Edge next week. I fear I have to hold back playing it until end of january though ... I need the time to work for important stuff for university, I know I wouldn't resist if I started once >_<
