Mirror's Edge Review

First you start with the demo material, same same same, ah its over, you are hung to the helicopter and can not wait to jump off and kick ass. Ah the prologues ends there. Still cool. The game will start off somewhere cooler for sure. Mmmm, no. After that,....ah no the game is not evolving. First chapter is done and no, still the same. Ah I am in the sewers and ah boring......Ah a weapon...not for long.Running running running. Blues shooting you. You jumping around like a monkey. Falling 1000 times. Restarting at shitty checkpoints most times. Falling again. Blues shooting. Linear paths. No chance to enjoy environment and graphics. Frustration, frustration. Turns off game.


graphics 9 great art, crisp graphics
sound 8 very good sound effects and music
control 7 not the best, but it works
gameplay 6 frustrating at times, good at other times, repetitive at most times
replay 6 short game, limited mulitplayer

Overall 7.2 (OK)

My review system is a hybrid ratio system not an average (it will give graphics 20%, sound 20%, control 15%, gameplay 30% and replay 15%. I will also start to round to the nearest 0.05 from now on).

0-6.9 (Fail, there are other games you would rather play)

7-7.4 (OK)

7.5-7.9 (Almost Good)

8-8.4 (Good)

8.5 -8.9 (Very Good)

9-9.4 (Excellent)

9.5 - 10 (Revolutionary)

IGN just game this game 7.3 and they use a similar system. So I guess I should be proud of my reviews.
