Mirror's Edge [360/PS3]

[randombs]

Oops, I forgot we'd probably have to pay for the DLC maps

Mind you, I was umming and ahhing over buying that lovely Braid game, so maybe the two of them will convince me to top up on my points and buy both...

800 points seems a bit steep to be honest :S. 400 would have been a guaranteed buy from me but it's hard to justify the price of an XBLA game on a 7 map DLC.

I hate spending money on DLC, but that's 800 points locked and loaded from me.

I tried "office" TT at lunchtime. My first time was 45s or so, which I was quite pleased with. Then I watch Fuse do it, in an impressive 21s. Then I checked the world best and saw he'd gone from bottom to top in 10s..... He was like a little monkey. I was totally in AWE. Just brilliant.

I'm thinking there's no way my fingers would work that fast. I couldn't even replicate his first jump....

Fuse, can you youtube your best times?

Started this the other day.

I loved the demo.

I have had to swap the shoulders round as I just can't handle jump being in control of my left hand!

So far it is beautiful, wonderful and exhilarating to play WHEN AND ONLY WHEN it is going well.

Otherwise it is frustrating and annoying. In particular I have just come up against 4 shotgun dudes for the first time. One shoots me - I disarm him. I don't want his gun so I get shot again as I am throwing it away. Bam. Dead.

Very frustrating. Gave up as I was ill and tired but I will see this one through, I like the concept a lot and can see the speed runs druving me mental!

I could do - but I would need to re-run them and there's probably much better examples to follow on Youtube already. If I remember rightly, this guy takes the same route in Office as I did;



The ghosts system is pretty good too - add my gamertag 'fuse iidx' as I will probably be going back to this in a big way as soon as the DLC hits

This game is absolutely incredible, I finished it on normal (no guns) and once I saw the DLC I knew it was gonna be a keeper.

Since then i've done it on hard with guns and now doing the speed runs and time trials. What a cracking game once you figure out a really fast sneaky route through the levels.

[charlesr]

fuse, you have to watch the ghost for the top guy on that level. Just awesome. He turns right straight away and just goes up the wall to the top, stopping briefly on each floor.

He starts by jumping off the sofa on to a CCTV camera.

[Lebowski]

i've also just finished this on normal no guns and its such a shame that they had to put bits in where you have to fight the enemy it breaks the flow of the game and just stinks of some marketing execs forcing the gun issue, these sections seem rushed and tacked on the final level really jarring with the rest of the game.

its soul destrying really such a promising game but then you hit up against a combat part and its umpteen retries and pad flinging ahoy.

[Family Fry]

My best on office was 26 seconds, made me feel all warm inside when I cracked the wall technique, needed to perfect it more but I was happy with 26 seconds!

This no-gun mode, does it mean you can't pick up any guns at all, or just that you can't shoot them? I imagine I'd have to disarm a few baddies at least

It means you can't shoot an enemy. You're allowed to disarm them.

[randombs]

Ok great. I was thinking of trying that one, but wasn't too sure. I may have a crack at it in that case

That is insanely hard to perform though. I've tried it many times and can't get the last bit where you have to turn and catch the railing.
