I've been contemplating on dl'ing it. The game looks like I might just throw up from playing it but it's gotta be fun. The commercial makes me think of Assain's Creed only in the future.

I'm gonna see if I can DL this off of PSN tomorrow... If I can, I'll let you know how it is!

I just DL'ed and beat the demo of Mirrors Edge... here's my opinion
Personally I would wait for it to go down into price because it seems like it's running off of the Source Engine, but overall it's kinda sexy playing it. The one connection for the game to anything else I can think of is the Matrix. Primarialy running around on Rooftops, hitting a door open while avoiding cops and the Melee combat seems a tad like a Matrix scene, minus the Robots and Agents. But one thing matrixy is the voice on the other end of the line. It's sorta like an operator, only the voice is your employer who is guiding you through the game. I think it might end up with a cliched betrayal or something to that extenet. Another is a bullet time like experience when you press Square. Obviously it's meant to slow down the pace of the game, so you can time your jumps better and counter faster so it's a nice little add in. The one thing is that an objective or a good path is highlighted in red throughout the levels, so all you really need to do is run for what is red and take a guess as to where you are supposed to go from there.
Graphic wise, it's like I said, a source like engine that is trying to be Cell-Shaded like. At first I thought it was a cartoon, but that was only during the opening cut scene. When you start playing it you only focus on your immediate surroundings and that's where I feel like I'm playing Either TF2 or a Simpson map on CS:S. But that's not nescessarily a bad thing. While it hurts the eyes once and awhile, you can play it because the missions feel both fluid and quick.
The Sound, I never really paid attention to the Music, I was more involved with the action and leaps of faith, which is no pun intended since Faith is the girls name in the game.
Overall, I don't know... It's one of those games that it's hard to explain, it's hard to hate, hard to love... just overall a different type of experience so far... can't wait to see the final product, at least once it's down in price.

I think what I really liked about it is that it's something different than all of those WWII shooters taht have been over saturating the FPS genre for years. and on the subject of oni, it was a ton of fun, but the controls kind of irked me, but if I remember properly, it was a launch title, or close to it, so it's okay. and horde has been taking up my entire life since gears came out. I almost called out of work to play it.

I agree with you there about the WWII shooters that have been killing the FPS genre, so I can agree with you there about the change of pace. Still though I think that people will probably disregard this game since it's more "artsy" then it is as a shooting game... Like I said, it would be better when the game goes down in price

I'd say Porsched Unleashed was the last good Need For Speed
