  • fuck this guy! hes just jealous he cant run!

  • Great game, short, but sweet.

    Finished it in maybe, 5 or 7 hours or so.

  • 1:16 it's Shao Jun and Desmond from Assassin's Creed.

  • gamespot>ign

  • OMG horrible review for him. Feeling "relieved" after running through a difficult puzzled course is natural, I don't know why you would want to feel "fulfilled" it's a survival game, like Man Hunter. It's not like Zelda games puzzled where you feel fulfilled. If your good with controllers and don't have difficulties with colors, I bet this game would not be difficult, and in the end you can actually feel fulfilled.

  • mate you just suck at video games.

  • How much does it cost now?

  • @EpicMonster9000 $10 at bestbuy. probably get it really cheap used at gamestop

  • lol whoever played the gameplay in the video sucks at the game.

  • Reveiwer: GAEM IZ HARD WAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

    all of the problems he encountered were ridicously easy like 3:42

    when he failed that jump i immediatly facepalmed

  • this guy sucks

  • this guy obviously sucked at this game, half the "problems" he confronted are easily over-come

  • he's just sayin that cuz he suck at the game and probably fps

  • @grnteabug god damn that would be awesome if they made Mirrors edge 2 with the frost bite engine

  • LOL £5 new yay

  • If you just check out IGN.com the team at DICE has confirmed that they want to bring a Mirror's edge 2. There are rumors that suggest that it might use the Battlefield 3 Frost bite engine.

  • @grnteabug FLIPPING EPIC!

  • @grnteabug Yeah true sorry I just want to correct you :)..altough mirror's edge used the Frostbite engine , Battlefield 3 uses the Frostbite 2 engine so if the rumors are true Mirror's edge 2 will run on the Frostbite 2 engine :D

  • 1:54 i am just about a bit farther than that :D.

  • i always though it was like portal (awesome back story, hard puzzle,easter eggs,)

    but no portal gun wich makes it harder

  • Dice have never made a bad game

  • i would have loved to finish this game but i just couldnt get the hang of it. the controls also put me off. i must say that when i did pull something off, it felt good. if the next one will make controls much easier and the game a bit clearer then am all for it.

  • I didn't really like this game. I didn't like the colours.

  • Mirrors edge 2 is in development. Found it on wiki. ;)

  • Mirrors edge 2 please !

  • @TheHomemadePizza its in development

  • I love how they complain about the trial and error 'try, die, redo' component when in most of the clips that emphasize that point it is the player being a retard or not jumping at something (they jump past it) rather than the game not registering the landing eg 3:42 and 4:16 *facepalm*

  • @aeadonnis exactly

  • honestly i like mirrors edge gunplay more than call of duty or halo. it just feels..... awesome

  • @heveymetaldemon

    Good old Gamestop/EB Games actually

  • @Georgiie69 AKA MR. Tourettes STFU U RETARD!

  • @tj38vegas True, but I am not an emo. I hate emos, they're fucking faggots. I'm happy nearly all the time. :)

  • Fuck GameSpot. The fucking suck donkey balls.

  • @Georgiie69 so you have informed game stop that they suck a mule testicles hmmm...... no, i think your just jealous of game stop :D

  • @BloodCompaction Umm... Why would I be jelous of GameSpot? And by the way, it's GameSpot not "game stop"...

    And there reviews do suck. They're nothing compared to the other reviewers like GameTrailers, Official Playstation Magazine exc. GameSpot's gay, they're just a bunch of fat faggots like this retard and the other fucktard, Tom McShea or whatever his name is...

  • @Georgiie69 Jealousy is such a plague when your man enough to admit your jealous of game stop im always on youtube ok faggot seriously your jealous, all the evidence points to your jealousy

  • @BloodCompaction Okay dickweed... Why the fuck would I be jelous of them? Please do explain why the fuck I would be jelous. GameSpot sucks. They suck. Why would I possibly be jelous. Explain, you retard. -.-

  • @Georgiie69 it's because your mom never loved you enough

  • @BloodCompaction Oh, ha-ha faggot.

  • @Georgiie69 yes, ha-ha :D

  • @BloodCompaction Piss of you dickhead. Go fuck your mom, I'm sure she loves you enough.

  • @Georgiie69 No she doesn't actually but your mom loves me enough so i went to go fuck her :D

  • @BloodCompaction Yeah, that's funny because you don't even know me or where I live...

  • @Georgiie69 Don't have to because your mom comes to my house everyday :D

  • @BloodCompaction It's funny because my mother is always at home and if she were to go to you house everyday, she'd have to go by plane dickhead.

    

  • @Georgiie69 Nope she can teleport you dumbass, remember when she's using the bathroom well she's actually teleporting to my house riding my big gigantic cock, screaming for mercy of pleasure but i show no mercy and she cummed before i did.

  • @BloodCompaction That's funny because there's no such thing as teleportation yet... Piss the fuck off dickweed, I don't give a fuck what so say so don't reply you mother fucking asshole bitch cocksucker. Go fuck youself you lonely fat nerd. You only say these mother-related insults because you cannot get a girlfriend you desperate fuck. You fat fucking ignorant desperate mother fucker. Piss of douche bag.

  • @Georgiie69 Dude you seem mad, you might want to schedule an appointment with your therapist.

  • it would of been sick if they made it free roam. thumbs up if you agree!!

  • I'm considering writing my own review & posting it on GameSpot. The score would be 8/10, and the Bottom Line would be, "Mirror's Edge provides a fresh, exhilarating first-person parkour experience, despite some shoddy level design."

  • wow whoever palyed the game for this review is sooo bad

  • gamereviewers these days often rate good games bad for numerous stupid reasons, and most of these arent true- the reviewer just sucks at the game.

  • No game has given me as much adrenaline as getting chased by the police in this game! I rented it, and it was 8 hours well spent!

  • It's funny when Kevin says that compared to the other games of that year, Mirror's Edge looks a little but dull. I played most of the games that year and I got the most enjoyment out of Mirror's Edge lol.

  • the FPS element worked really well in this game, so did the climbing/sliding/running/jumpi­­ng.. it didn't get boring,

  • Comment removed

  • Mirror's edge 2 will blow our minds...

  • They're making a sequel (THANK GOD)

    Too bad until Battlefield 3 comes out the development is at a halt :l

    I absolutely LOVE Mirror's Edge and I got a Runner's Bag for pre-ordering it. Its amazing :3

  • Omg The most information I got was that it was discontinued for lack of interest. But you just gave me the best information I have received in quite along time. Where did you preorder it at?!?! :D :D :D :D :D

  • @samurisam2012 I pre-ordered it at GameStop. It has to be THE BEST PRE-ORDER REWARD.

    EVER. :D

  • Wtf? This game is GREAT! I just picked it up for my ps3 (although I have played it on my PC when it was released, but I missed it so I bought it again for ps3 cuz my PC sucks) and I still enjoy the game just as much as when it was released. Sure, now you can see that the graphics are a bit aged, but it was released in 2008 so whatever. This game deserves 10/10! It's really enjoyable and I've played the campaign like 10 times and have pwned the time trails. Mirrors Edge in my <3 forever and ever!

  • The only complaints I have this game is that I think the cutscenes could have been done in the game engine, or at least drawn out better, the style for some reason, didn't strike me as visually pleasing. That and there is no friggin SEQUEL to polish up it's mechanics. I could complain about mediocre gunplay but hey, you're really not supposed to be able to gun your way through, I personally like how gun's are useful yet not all powerful in this game.

  • I for one enjoyed the news slides in the elevators

  • GREAT GAME!!!!

  • This game needs a sequel. Why is no one doing this?

  • @ds16653 If I remember, they decided to cancel the sequel. I really hoped for a sequel. This game was an awesome idea, just not used to it's full potential, sadly, I don't think that will happen.

  • @Tooopper EA confirmed a sequel for Mirror's Edge, saying that it is an "important sequel", dice is just focusing on Battlefield 3, once that is done, they are going to probably put a team working on Mirror's Edge 2 :)

  • @Sgtbolila Well, I have heard some rumors about them canceling it, I really hope they don't. Either way, I loved this game and I am really look foward to seeing it continue.

  • I just picked this game up for like $1.75.

    I feel like I just committed robbery

  • @RedSoupMusic Yeah i got it for £3 I feel the same way

  • @RedSoupMusic how? pls reply :D

  • ok so i really like it from all the videos ive watched and the reviews but is it free realm like in GTA? or do you have to do the missions and junk >_<

    -please reply so i know to buy the game or not, ty

  • @purp13xpanda

    No, its absolutely nothing like GTA, strictly mission/level based, highly linear.

    also, its a very unique game, and not for everyone. however, its cheap now so its entirely up to you

  • @RedSoupMusic Where did you get it?

  • dude, admit that you suck... give the game a real review instead of just clips of you failing and you talking in the backround about electrical newspapers.

  • this guy is a fucking terrible reviewer, hes prolly just too impatient to figure out the puzzles in the game

  • How does reading a news article in a game that relates to the setting take you away from the game???

  • @youyouyouguy Exactly. I didn't feel disconnected at all. If anything, it immersed me even further. This game gives me the chills (in a good way).

  • dumb boring game, thumbs me down icd

  • I love this game. This fo

  • looks boring and repeditive.

  • is he stupid or what, its not a QTE you noob tester

  • I thought mirrors edge was amazing. it's my favorite game by far, and I've played a lot of games.

  • They might pick back up on development, the game development has come to a stop for now.

  • Mirror's edge was an incredible, innovative, beautiful game that was drastically underplayed. I agree that there were some flaws, but none of them detracted from the overall amazing experience of this game. I would love, love, love to see a Mirror's Edge 2, where I'm sure every flaw would be fixed and it would definitely be in contention for game of the year.

  • @cvmann2020 Yeah, I really badly want a sequel with better level designs, refined mechanics, more stuff to do, and better storytelling. Considering that this is the very first 1st-person parkour game (as far as I'm aware), DICE did a really good job, and if they made a sequel, it would have tons of potential.

  • @cvmann2020 Yes they should be make a sequel. This, dead space, and battlefield series show that EA still makes really good games

  • @topografer EA publishes good games 

  • @cvmann2020 I agree. The prez of EA said it was still in development and that it could run on frostbite 2!

  • worst review ever

  • Lol he looks like the guy in the beggining

  • i have a feeling this guy wanks more than 20 times a week

  • he sounds like he didn't like the game and didn't have much time to talk

  • he is soooooooo stupid mirrors edge is amazing he is just hates it because he cant jump like that!

  • this game was amazing no other games like this i just hated the time trials sooo hard

  • this is a puzzle game not cod whereits way to simple. THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP

  • Mirrors edge 2 is comeing but thay have been working on bf3 and did that frist cause it sold more than mirros edge but will make if also they said if thay dont there just gona sell it to valve and they will make it.

  • To be honest, I don't agree with the "repetitive trial and error", however, I feel like perhaps a more well-built(and longer story) , in addition to longer maps with a higher variation of obstacles would have been optimal. Nevertheless it's one hell of a game ;>

  • Yup I'm sorry but he sucks..

  • Comment removed by Gamespot moderators.

  • repetitive trial and error? That's just him trying to sound smart when it really means he sucks at the game..

  • I LOOOOOVVVEEEE THIS GAAAAMMMEE. NEEEDDD SEQUEL!!!!!!

  • PC is by far the best. I know because I have all three versions.

  • Gun play is unfullfilling because this is NOT a SHOOTER! Durp!

  • why is gamespot always putting the xbox 360 as the best

    when the pc version is way better

  • @bertkerstens simply cause pc not better for alot of reason : /

  • @MasterJazz09 fuck off if a console wins then its ps3

    your just a stupid moron

    like very one who owns a xbox

    if the xbox stop existing i am happy the proof is the very message you send

    you SUCK at grammar

    its simply cause pc is not better

    you cant even spell your a disgrace to humanity

  • @MasterJazz09 fuck off if a console wins then its ps3

    your just a stupid moron

    like very one who owns a xbox

    if the xbox stop existing i am happy the proof is the very message you send

    you SUCK at grammar

    its simply cause pc is not better

    you cant even spell your a disgrace to humanity

    you AL WILL FALL TO TH SAME THING PSN DID xbox deserve to be breacht and your credit card deserve to be stolen

  • @bertkerstens because they biased towards the xbox360 because they are paid to say the possitive stuff about the xbox360 because microsoft cant take criticism so they have to pay people to talk good about their system or else they wont make money and such

  • The game's not hard. He's just really bad. Did you see some of the stupid jumps he made? And then he complained about how he would get frustrated and blames it on the game. Wow.

  • seriously you can see it in his eyes he sucked at the first person view. at first it screwed with me but now i can run through the last level with no problem so get a grib dude

  • wat is he talking about this game was awesome,just need some more great touches on it

  • Quit complaining baby.

  • Aw come on man, you just contradicted yourself. The gun play was bad? The game specifically mentions that it is AGAINST the use of guns. When did gamers become such cry babies? Waah Waah Idk how to beat this mission so the game sucks! Pathetic. I usually don't say stuff like this, but thehughvincent is right, you do suck. Go qq more.

  • "One simple mistake will send you tumbling down to your doom below"

    That's kinda how extreme free running is. The game is hard because parkour is hard.

  • FYI fellers, ME2 was rejected by EA.

  • @ElectricIvory

    FYI, EA never confirmed the reports about the fact that they stopped making it. They are still working on it.

  • THIS GAME IS FRESH AND NEW. Watch, when Mirrors Edge 2 comes out and it's amazing, everyone is gonna want to hop on the bandwagon -_-

  • This game gave me motion sickness, didn't it you?

  • The game is realistic.... Real-life tracers (runners in the game) act almost the same ads Faith...

  • wtf. Apparently they didn't bother to learn how to play the game lol.

  • Wow this guy SUCKS at reviewing. One of the big things that made me question this guy is the fact that almost all the mistakes they show are the person aiming incorrectly and missing a jump, even though he would go to say that it was because it was a "intricate jumping puzzle". Also, in my opinion, the gun play was meant to be awkward because SURPRISE! its not a shooter. The final thing is that the red painting of hints is, in my opinion, is supposed to fade away as you progress.

  • love this game, took a little while to get used to it, but its well worth the playthrough,

  • Looks awful. These kind of games aren't meant for first-person.

  • @gamingrocks100 It's hard to say if you haven't played it. That's what I thought, but now it't close to my top 10.

  • @Ottoplemeniti Hmm...maybe I'll rent it. I'm 95% sure that I will never buy it, though, seeing how it's a short game.

  • @gamingrocks100 Well I don't wan to be the one to make you spend your money, maybe you could trade it in for something or get a demo. Just sayin'...

  • mirrors edge was one of the best games ive played :D

  • the reason this guy gave such a good game such a bad review was because his fat ass fingers couldnt use the controls right

  • that game is so fucking awesome! cant wait for mirrors edge 2^^

  • @TheAndromada there is no mirrors edge 2 :p they cancels it :\ i wish i can play number 1!

  • @RussianKhalifa no its not canceled! gamepro asked the makers of this game and they sayed they are working on it! they just need an idea xD (sry for my bad english im german^^)

  • @RussianKhalifa go to ign,mirrors edge 2 is still in production!!

  • In some cases its better for people to shut there ffn mouth when they don't know what they are talking about. This game is a peace of art.

  • this game has the only story mode i ever played through more than once.

  • hahah fail at 1:45

  • fire this reviewer.... please. he highlighted and repeated the same things over and over again because he was "infuriated" at the fact that he sucks at this game. i have played this game through many times and can personally say it is a game that i WILL keep over the years to play again and again because no other game has done what this game did, that is, give a nice and submersive game, while also encouraging you to get off your fat ass and actually go out to learn parkour!

  • @rubberduckey111 exactly! i'm shit and die loads at god of war kinda games, but i absolutely love em! just because you arent good at a game doesnt mean u should bash it

  • Kevin VanSuck sucks at this game. This game is a breath of fresh air and originality in an age of Call of Boredom: Modern Sameness 79. It is brilliant, original, awesome, fun, beautiful!!! This is a very bad review of the game and his criticisms are completely unwarranted. Trial and Error? Without it this fool would bitch that the game was too easy!! And bad gun play? That is not a main aspect of this game! You're not a super soldier jumping from roof to roof you're runner!

  • This game was so much better than the review makes out! And whoever was playing it was awful! Yea you die over and over if you keep jumping in the wrong direction right into the streets! And I'm not the best at this game but you obviously have to jump early to jump over things quicker

  • I just Bought it today and I don't regret it.... IIt's Very original and Fun

  • THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED.............. FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS PISSED ME OFF.... THIS IS SOMETHING FRESH...... FIRST PERSON EXTREME GAME..... WITH AWSOME GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY.....

  • this game was great for the first levels, then the stupid indoor levels came. i would really prefer more parkour and less puzzle solving...

  • half-life did not help you with puzzles... or portal...so why is it a issue here?

  • Gamespot reviews are SO better then IGN's.

  • @sims2man08 how is this review good? it just basically trolled the game because this dude isnt good at something that involves more than shooting a target

  • @rubberduckey111 not saying this review is good. i'm just saying, in general.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow noone can make a good review on this game....Either cuz they suck at it OR ARE PLAIN RETARDED like fucking IGN

  • basically he hated it because he sucks at it

  • @thehughvincent how do you know he sucks at it?

  • @imsleepyanddead He is basically criticizing the game because you have to use on-the-spot thinking to get through the level quickly without dying, which he implies he finds difficult "when it takes 10 or 11 tries to figure out" Which is actually pretty easy and takes about 2 or 3 tries if it's a hard level. And the gameplay in the background shows him failing again and again at the simplest sections I figured out just watching the video

  • @dav1n7hule Well, that's just you that can play this game virtuosically. He doesn't like it because it's a trial-and-error game, a gameplay mechanic that I don't like either. Also, he never said he hated it, what took away in gameplay flaws made up for some in terms of art style, sound and music. a 7/10 isn't a bad score in any way.

  • @imsleepyanddead I never said he hated it, that was thehughvincent, I merely said he was criticizing the game. And, for the record, I have played the game and finished it. The "trial and error" mechanic you state doesn't exist if you are good at this game and can think on your feet to react to sudden changes (Like the crane as it drops and spins) and react accordingly. If this Trial and error results in your death, as in Vanord's case, means that you are simply not very good and die a lot.

  • @dav1n7hule whoops wrong person! oh well, I suck at this game, but love it. just need to improve jump timings....

  • usually i love his reviews, but this one sucked. he misses really easy jumps in this video!!! and than he says: "mirror edge has alot of trial and error"

  • he misses the easiest jumps. what a moron.

  • bad review. this guy has no idea what he's talking about. 

  • Where's the verdict?

  • @HailStoneHSS and now today =D

  • No offense to whoever was playing in this one but when he was complaining about tricky and slow jumps ( e.g. the bit where he jumped to the pole then the box at 3:53) but it was so slow becuase the guy playing really sucked :/

  • We want a Mirrors Edge 2!

  • @HarleyDX In February 2011, it was reported that development on Mirror's Edge 2 had been "stopped" after EA rejected a prototype submitted for a sequel. EA later clarified that they consider Mirror's Edge "an important franchise", but otherwise had no further announcements. Source: Wikipedia

    WE WANT MIRROR EDGE 2!

  • @HarleyDX I would give my left testicle for a sequel...ok, not that extreme but you get where I'm going lol.

  • This guy looks so awkward. 

  • i love gamespots long reviews rather then ign's 3 minute reviews

  • Oh God no, figuring something out on my own without assistance, blasphemy!!

  • I didn't find myself frustrated with this game until I tried finishing it on hard without shooting anyone.

  • @TogoProductions This wasn't hard. I only got stuck in 3 places

    the sniper pit @ Piranello-Kruger

    The Elevator shaft @ the shard

    And the final play sequence ironically. (There is exactly 1 safe route through it hard mode so you need cover from all the ar's)

    Other than those three spots it was easy. Mostly

  • Dont buy this game if you're easily frustrated.. If you're patient, not a loser, its a must buy.

  • another win for the ps3 and they're coming out with a mirrors edge 2 maybe that game will fix the mistakes of its predecesor the same way they did with assassins creed
