Mirror's Edge Review (ps3)

[Ian_B]

Picked up Mirror's Edge for PS3 yesterday (along with Valkyrie Chronicles)

I'd played the PS3 demo and thought it had potential and as it was only THB1400 (original of course - love the Region 3 pricing) I decided to buy it.

I had just gotten the 360 version earlier in the day but was put off by the 360 controls (for example the LB Button is just not as good a jump button as L1 on PS3). Plus with the PS3 version I can upload and download time-trial ghosts (for obvious reasons I can't do that with the 360 version I had!)

So far I'm liking it - it plays very differently from the standard FPS and I am going out of my way not to collect any weapons and play it like the parkour sim it is trying to be. It's very immersive but wish it was less trial and error in places - run down the wrong path and you end up cornered by baddies and die. Luckily the checkpoint system is generous.

8/10 from me
