  • Saw this at game for $15 should I get it???

  • this game is 16+ yrs old but COD WaW has 15+yrs?

  • @GreenDayFan625

    depends on the continent. in uk waw is 15 but EU Playatation will rate it as 16+

  • MR is just too bold, many people expect their first try to be the most fun, then increasingly more boring, like in all other games, MR is different, the Single player doesn't get truly fun until 3rd - 5th time you play trough it, when you know EXACTLY what to do at ALL times, you have EVERY SECOND of EVERY LEVEL memorized and you never fail a move! thats when you know, you've found a soul mate! if you can just give it time, like anybody should...99/10

  • 6? this game is fucking ART

  • @ThePlayCircuit Wish I could, but I can't program worth a crap :P

  • So the only bad point is that the game isn't in third person and the cut scenes are done differently than normal? What about the bullshit combat system, or the fact that the game isn't open world?

  • Doing FreeRunning or Parkour in real life is way cooler! xD

  • 2:13 'I gotcha' *pew* 'DAMMIT CoD didn't teach me anything!'

  • you say tons of good things and then slightly mention one fault, and it gets a six?! this deserves at least a 7 or 8

  • dude this is on PC too

  • hmm i think this game would make a good movie :)

  • YOU GIVE EVERY THING A 6/10

  • I would of loved to see a multi player tag game mode. That would of made this game great. But they didn't :( so its ok

  • WTF THE PAST 4 VIDEOS IVE SEEN GOTTEN A 6/10! and each video i disagreed with you on but thats my opinion. but really you are a fucking horrible critic

  • Man, this game either needs a sequel or a spiritual successor.

  • Holy shit, why does every reviewer bitch about the cutscenes? They look fine to me.

  • @MarioFan124 Yeah, I like 'em, too.

  • Personally, this is my favorite game, until, of course, I get Mortal Kombat! :D

  • 10/10

  • @albnys Sorry, but no. While I agree that the game IS pretty fun, it barely deserves an 8/10. Why? While I was playing it (Before I got the RROD..>_>) I came across a few bugs, and I also thought that the story was seriously lacking. I felt like too many things were left out. It was fun looking for the bags though, and the time attack was pretty challenging. Some were crazy. IMHO, this gets a 7/10.

  • Was anyone else thinking about the e-Surance commercials while watching this???

  • I dont know what it is with you GW, sometimes you make great points, and sometimes you Derp HARD, wether it be getting information wrong or just making stupid points to give or take away score.

  • Ok this guy sucks at the game or who ever made the actual gameplay vids

  • I thought the cutscenes were amazing

  • Guys, he uses a different review scale than other critics. On his scale, 6/10 is good.

  • The first-person perspective does make the controls less accurate, but for me, the main problem with the gameplay is too constricting. There are often times where, if you don't make a jump or perform a stunt EXACTLY the way the game wants you to, then you'll fail. For example, there are times where, if you jump into the wrong side of a bar or ledge, then your character doesn't grab it; she just falls to her death. Why can't I just grab it and climb around?

    Still a really fun game, though.

  • @catholicgamer99 That's the most annoying thing about the game alright. Very few reviewers are able to properly describe the bad points of the game though. This review is fucking atrocious. There's nothing wrong with Tomb Raider either!

  • @gilgamesh310 Yeah, some of the level designs in the game are so restrictive, it's shocking. Often, I see an object that I CLEARLY should be able to grab, but I can't. You usually have to do it the EXACT way that the game wants you to (which can be frustrating, when there are other objects that should be grab-able).

  • It gets annoying when everybody cries 'Foul' every time a reviewer scores Mirror's Edge lower than 8. Isn't it important for a reviewer to have his/her own individual opinion, and not mindlessly repeat what other people say?

  • @catholicgamer99 Your name made me laugh a little, good job. Anyways, I agree with you completely thanks for shutting these people up.

  • @shimigami30 Yeah, it really annoys me when people say that a review is bad, just because it scores the game less than 8.

    1) They're missing the point of video game reviewing in the first place.

    2) They're missing the point of watching reviews in the first place.

    3) Imagine if reviewers actually began to listen to the fans of the games that they review. If that ever happened, then their reviews would become pointless, since they're just repeating others' opinions & would ALWAYS give high scores.

  • Why is six out of ten bad. That means its above average.

  • @AwesomeGamer4 More than just "above average", actually. By his standards, that means "good".

  • @catholicgamer99 Yeah, the gaming media has totally warped peoples perspective of a good game these days

  • @AwesomeGamer4

    According to people on the internet:

    10 = Great

    9 = Good

    8 = Okay

    7 = Poor

    6 = Abysmal

  • @catholicgamer99 10=Excellent 9=Great 8=Good 7=Okay 6=Bad 5=Horrible 4=Abysmal 3=How could they? 2=Money back! 1=&%$#@!

  • How much did you get paid for this rating....... dude.... seriously you need others reviewing games with you.

  • how the fuck did this get a 6 out of 10 ???????

  • bad points:

    not being able to hang on or jump up curved surfaces. combat wasnt very good. not enough flow in the levels.

    grabbing onto certain surfaces felt very restrictive to movement, by that i mean say I jumped on the wrong side of some scaffolding bar, i couldn't just swing myself around. Also the script was really bad. - nice animation tho.

    Still cool idea, there is a simple flash game called 'RUN.' Very basic but if you liked mirrors edge you'll probably like that too.

    7/10

  • @pcjwss by the way.. u should not combat, thats why it suckz :)

  • Whoever's playing the game in this video is shit.

    And I likes the cut scenes, they were cool, sleek, styalised and I think they added to the game.

    the voice acting was decent too.

  • Whoever's playing the game in this video is shit.

  • 5/10, its too short of a game, and lack variation

  • @Shitkidhtf

    Two criticisms knock Mirror's Edge down to a 5/10, according to you. Clearly, my friend, you are not cut out to be a reviewer.

  • @elsewhereify i dont have the patience to write the whole bible over again just to point out my experience with the game. If you want more from why i gave it a 5/10 i can make a little list:

    Random unimpressive storyline

    bad voice actors

    VERY cheap cutscenes

    combat system is bumpy

    cel-shading was done in a somewhat hasty way

    and the lack of smoothness when climbing

    happy now? hmmm?

  • @Shitkidhtf

    'bad voice actors'? What?

    'VERY cheap cutscenes'? How exactly were they cheap? They were stylised.

    'Combat system is bumpy'? The combat system may not have been fluid, but it worked.

    'Cel-shading'? Where, exactly, did you see cel-shading in this game? It's not on Wikipedia's list of 'cel-shaded video games'.

    'Lack of smoothness when climbing'? Wrong. A million times wrong.

    Besides, Mirror's Edge featured a host of positive aspects.

  • @elsewhereify the cutscenes look like something you find on newgrounds, anyway i didnt like it.

    combat system worked but i could clearly see they did not have a very big scale of focus on it

    cel-shading was this games big talk before it came out, it was one of the things that made a big expectation of the game.

    when climbing you basically come across a whole bunch of occasions where your character wont grab or grab something unplanned, as well as invisible walls, or just glitch out of it all

  • @Shitkidhtf

    ...

    *Definitely* not cut out to be a reviewer.

  • @elsewhereify who ever said i was? you just cant handle that others dont like a game you do

  • @Shitkidhtf

    No, that's a lie. Previously, you claimed that 'when climbing you basically come across a whole bunch of occasions where your character wont grab or grab something unplanned, as well as invisible walls, or just glitch out of walls'. These are lies. I haven't experienced one of these gameplay bugs, and I'm sure that virtually everyone in this thread has not either.

  • @elsewhereify well believe what you will, you could try for yourself to play the campaign over again and then tell me again you did not encounter once an unexpected event where your character does what i listed. Still im gonna wrap this debate up if not you have anymore you want to add.

  • One of the most unique and best gaming experiences of this generation of games. The reviewer is an idiot, no other excuse.

  • 6/10...say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa?

  • 500/10 you basterd 

  • 9/10

  • why does all the major companies tat play these games suck at them

  • 6/10 .. are you crazy ^^

    This is an amazing game ..

    ok.. its not perfect .. but it have a original idea .. just like portal

  • @horber95 Having an original idea doesn't automatically make a game good. If it did, then Mindjack wouldn't have such awful reception (not just by critics, but by consumers, too).

  • "Cheat tampon advert''

    LAWL :P

    But 6/10 is a real insult for this game.

  • @mees462 According to his scoring system, 6/10 means "good".

  • That's 10/10 because:

    1. it's the most epic game ever made.

    2.it has the most epic themesong ever made

    3. it's PARKOUR and NOT FREERUNNING

  • @fwenzelfwenzel Well, I wouldn't say it is the most epic game ever. Its pretty fun but it could have been better. I'd say it deserved 8/10 or 9/10 but 6/10 is bull.

  • @monsterhunterminegar I honestly don't think it's that bad. I would give it a 7/10, which isn't that much higher (and I really like the game).

  • @catholicgamer99 I personally thought it was excellent. It could have used many refinements, so therefore i'd say its more of an 8 but I can understand your 7/10. But i cant agree with a 6 thats just not right.

  • @monsterhunterminegar You don't have to agree. :)

    One thing that's essential be aware of when you watch Gamesweasel reviews is that he scores games low, because he doesn't use decimals in his rating system. If he feels like a game "could have used many refinements", then he gives it a 7/10 or lower.

    If I were to use Gamesweasel's scoring system, I would give Mirror's Edge a 7/10. However, if I were to use a regular decimal scoring system, I would give it an 8/10.

  • why'd u call urself gameweasel?

  • Cuz of casual gamers like gameweasel, games are dumbed down these days V_V

    and ye this game deserves 8/10 at least

  • @SexSlaveGoneBad This game isn't more "hardcore" than other games, it's just more unique.

  • AND ONE MORE THING..... I NOTICED THAT ALL REVIEWERS MADE A REVIEW OUT OF THE SAME ANGLE..... IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK ONE TEXT FROM INTERNET, AND TOLD THE SAME OPINION.... BECAUSE EVEN THE FRASES WERE THE SAME IN ALL REVIEWS.... IT IS GOOD, BUT IT IS FUCKED UP..... IT IS NOT FUCKED UP BECAUSE I AND MILIONS PEOPLE OVER THE GLOBE JUST LOVES IT.....

  • I THUMBED IT DOWN NOT BECAUSE THE GAME IS PERFECT, BUT BECAUSE OF SHITTY REVIEW...........

  • FUCK YOU..... THIS GAME IS 10/10 because it is ORIGINAL..... and PEACEFULL.... Try to find suck a refreshing game as this and you'll fail... because there is only first person shooters, and games with horor and cruelness....

  • @FruityLoopsas "Original" doesn't mean "great". Wii Music was original, does that make it any good?

  • if youre good at this game its good, if your not (like me) it really isnt...

  • i really think it should have gotten more

    i just simply loved the game and no doubt im not the only one

    i would have been satisfied with 7/10 or 8/10.. but 6 is a bit too low

    im kind of disappointed as i do like Games Weasel's game reviews alot.

  • 6/10 srsly go fuck yourself

  • this game was terrible ;)

  • 117 people missed the like button or there stupid :D

  • I have no idea why this got 6/10, i wouldn't give it 10/10 but fuck!

    This game's original, it's different, it's in first person so it's can immerse players i seriously dunno why this is a 6/10 ...

  • and pc dumbass

  • Snoozefest!!!

  • I'm going to go against the grain here by saying THIS GAME IS SHIT, 6/10 is generous. Commence the hate now......

  • 6/10

    usually i agree with you weasel, but this was fucking stupid

  • @10lettername its his personal opion

  • @MrTailsSwifty

    and I expressed my opinion on his opinion. Your point?

  • thats just his opinion

  • He just sucks at every game, so he rates them all shitty. Crawl back in your hole Weasel.

  • I wouldn't say the parkour elements of Assassin's Creed, I'd say the running in this is more like InFamous. Assassin's Creed is climbing, InFamous is freerunning.

  • Dickheads. Mirror's edge is one of the most original and memorable games in years.

  • my guess. i think their 6/10 is equivilent to game trailers 7.5, 8/10. so i wonder what their 10/10 means.

  • @gaiarailink super mario!

  • 8/10 from me

  • Fuck you weasel !!!

  • This guy strikes me as really hard to please. For me, a 6 is ok, 7 is good, 8 is great, 9 is awesome, and 10 is epic! Imho, he needs to lighten up a bit. Sure he's very clearly spoken, remains concise and to the point, and explains the good and bad. It's just his reasoning doesn't seem to balance out some of the time. He remains consistently sharp. I feel that these are a couple of reasons why people get pissed off. Still, it's just his opinion

  • Game weasel rarely gives higher than a 6 its retarded

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck You Weasel anything Lower Then 8/10 Is A Big Insult !!

  • ...

    I still feel like the only person in the world who likes the look of the cutscenes OTL

  • 6/10 ??????????? (Is is my reaction)

  • GUYS for gamesweasel 5/10 is a okay so 6/10 means good

  • the first person adds to realism lol

  • @12e444 I don't really see the point of making a game more realistic, though, unless it's done in a way that makes the game more challenging & fun. I thought that we all played video games to escape from reality, not to embrace it. Imagine if somebody created pain synthesizers, that allow us to feel the pain that our characters feel. Would that be fun?

    I somewhat disagree with him about the first-person, though, because while it makes jumping less accurate, it adds to the adrenaline.

  • "good 6/10" ??? YOU MOTHER FUCKERS FIRST FAR CRY 2 LIES AND THEN THIS? GAMESWEAZEL SUCKS

  • @MrVladdavid ign was much harder

  • 6 out of 10 are u serious >:(

    i think its safe to say that this guy is almost as clueless as IGN

  • *Listen

  • This is a really bad review. I reccomend downloading the demo and try it. Don't listemto this guy. Terrible review.

  • Tampon advert? What?

  • its cool how peaple actuly run like this

  • I'm sorry but this deserves an 8 (because the storys short) and the reason u keep falling to your doom is simply because your not good at it.

  • I've only played the demo but i know this game is worth at least an 8

  • ya but in 3rd person the game looks like shit

  • this game is pretty dang good. Bad footing cuz of first person view? bs, I have the demo and after a bit of practice which is easily most likely the first 2 levels in the game, making it easy to estimate where your feet are. At least give this game an 8/10. I only agree on cut scenes though, looks like an Esurance commercial ;)

  • freaking beatiful Game!!

  • this game was awesome and visually beautiful!

  • mirrors edge is the shit fuck these guys they didn't even give reasons why it was bad

  • Mirror's Edge was a great parkour mix of first person shooting without the constant shootouts that mostly happen in every other game, but Mirror's Edge was good because it was different. Sadly it was to short, and for some people it felt like a ripoff, and the time trials and speedruns feel like something just added in as an supposed life-saver, but the game is still enjoy, and I even play it now and then. Atleast a 7 or a 8/10.

  • @SpiritOfSpinax I thought the first-person shooting was pretty shoddy. I did love the parkour, though. I agree that it's too short. I would probably give the same score that you just did.

  • wow& i thought IGN was stupid

  • @vizardvolroc Hating a shitty game like Mirror's Edge makes a person stupid?

  • this deserves a 9!

  • It was a pretty good game but it was kind of boring at times.

  • umm this is one of the ebst fps action games out there!!! umm why is it that gamesweasel reviews almost everything at either a 6 or 7/10 wtf,, i dont think he knows what he is talking about anyone agree..

  • umm this is one of the ebst fps action games out there!!!

  • deserves an 8 at minimum

  • gotta agree with the 6/10, the game wasnt very consistent, felt akward to play, and i lost interest after beating campaign.

  • i know the game looks at the start but after its geting old!

  • easly a 7/8 out of 10

  • Six outta ten? Woooaahhh.

  • I'm glad that this game didn't have a multiplayer vs. mode. It's good to see great games without the need for a huge multiplayer.

  • 6 out of 10... are you serious!?

  • I dont like how the city looks.

  • @theorangebox999 It's supposed to look that way, because the game takes place in a utopian city under a totalitarian regime. I can understand why you wouldn't like it, though.

  • idk it looks lame

  • this game is really good

  • 6 of 10?? bullshit!

  • Looks great except for cutscenes

  • This guy could not be more wrong, and he is probably saying all that bad stuff because look at the gameplay, frankly he sucks at it (if that was him). This game does take a bit of getting used too, but once you get the hang of it it is super addicting an fun. 9.5 out of 10 for me.

  • This was really good. What made it fun, is even though it was a little predictable, the simpleness of getting into a rhythm even in the fighting made it enjoyable

  • just bought this for £4.50, i havent tried it yet, seems pretty good from this review

  • I've watched four reviews from this guy, one was Call of Duty that he gave 9/10 just because it's Call of Duty, and awesome unique games like this, he gives 5s and 6s, this reviewer is a fanboy...

  • This game ownz this deserves sequel

  • What the heck? 6/10?????? HECK NO this game deserves at least an 8/10 but I do agree with the cutscenes though I didn't like how they were made and looked.

  • The only thing i agreed with is how the cutscene animation does look like a cheap tampon commercial. i lold

    EVERYTYHING ELSE HES AN IDIOT.

    and its a fucking 9/10

    Stupid mw and halo brainwashed fan boys

  • Fuck you, 9/10!!

  • -_- You have no taste in games this is more like a 9/10 I'm guessing your like the other billion of people who seem to think its not a good game due to the fact your not some bloke running around with a machine gun shooting everything like a maniac

  • I OWN THIS GAME AND ITS STUPID, WHY THE FK IS IT IN 1st PERSON, IT SHOULD BE 3rd PERSON!!!!!! THIS GAME SUCKS.

  • @DynamiteXXXXXX

    13 year old detected

  • @DynamiteXXXXXX Yeah, right kid...

  • Whoever is playing, sucks at this game.

  • 6/10, what a FAG, more like 8.5/10, i know its short and some things are wrong with it but its really great, and it introduced me to Parkour (which i now do in real life), thanks DICE and EA for a GREAT game.

  • @MrRhysReviews He doesn't do decimals. :)

  • @catholicgamer99 xD an 8/10 then xD

  • I have never had this problem with gameplay.. I just think Gamesweasel isn't very good at it

  • I think that running and gunning can play an important role in keeping up the momentum of free running. I treated the guns in ME as completely disposable ways of distracting enemies and preventing them from firing on me so that I could keep moving. See enemies > take first down > pick up weapon > fire rounds at subsequent enemies > avoid them > throw away weapon.

  • The game is too short and has very little replay value. I finished it twice, once on normal, then on hard within 2 days of buying it. It was a fun game, if a bit repetitive. My hope is that the sequel will improve the clunky fighting mechanics and possibly open the game up to be a sandbox environment rather than linear, gated narrative, maps.

    The cut scene animations were terrible. I just don't see why they couldn't have been rendered in the game engine, such as we saw at moments during play

  • @papersplease Yeah, the cutscene at the very end of the game, for example, was rendered using the game engine.

  • I would give it an 8.3...9 is too much and 6 is waaaaaaaayy too low!!

  • hmm... i think everyone has his/her own views.. i dont think this game is shit. but i do agree tat the cutscenes dun somewhat match the entire feel of the game. too cartoonish? not sure though. :X

  • 6?!?!! wtf this is an amazing game!! great soundtrack, awsome graphics, parkour feels real, dunno what he meant about the cutscenes coz i think they r great!!

    bit of a lame review

  • How about this everybody? He gave a bad score, okay.

    Then boycott him

    By never watching his shit reviews ever again.

    Or use the "try it out" method and never watch a review ever again.

  • this game should be a 9

  • I was gonna buy this game, but the I saw this review. WTF it's just a bunch of running. Thanks

  • This guy uses 1 out of 10 differently than most people. Below 5 isn't worth playing above 5 is. So 6 is pretty good. 7 is great. 9 is above average. And 10 is perfect. 1 is trash. 2 is terrible but has a good aspect. 3 is bad. 4 is ok. 5 is average

  • i dont get this guy.. he gives fucking far cry 2 a 9/10 and mirrors edge a 6/10?? WTF?

    just cuz he can't play and he's playing a fps game on a console.. maybe he should try it on the pc.

  • lol 6/10 ??? :P

  • @maxjaxreiko true that. This game is unique and individual. No one's done it before so it's defidently one for the shelves. I love this game so much. It especially appeals to my interest and activities in Parkour. It almost gives me a sense of freedom when I play it. 9.7/10 They better make a bloody sequel!!!!

  • mirror's edge= great

    DICE=epic

    reviewer=dumbass

  • i bet he didnt play through half of the game coz he probaly got bored, or he is SHIT at it, so otherwise if he played all of the game (like all of us reading this) he woulda gave this 8.5 or even 9, this is my favourite addicting game out there!!!!

  • 6/10? are you serious it should be at least 8/10

  • Why the fuck do they never say its out for pc? This game is for pc!

  • @Greg5432able i know!! wtf? i have this for pc, in fact i was playing about five minutes ago, just before watching this vid....... i think this should have been and 8 at least btw

  • okay, this review concludes you have no idea what you're talking about, and that you sould have no buisness in reviews. im never going to watch another one of you're piece-o'-sh*t videos you call reviews

  • I'd give it 9-10 personally. And am I the only person who likes the style of the cutscenes

  • This guy should be dead. 6/10? -.-

  • i get that this guy game it a 6 the game gets boring after a while:(

  • This game is amazing, for once, i must say your judgement was terrible

  • this game is made of crap, faith is so underpowered its insane.

  • Wow, this guy hates all games!
