Zero Punctuation: Mirror's Edge
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I was really looking forward too this game that is until this review arrived and made me second guess myself buuuuuuut each to their own I guess I might end up enjoying it after all so i'm gonna get it anyway 
I?m replying to this awfully late, but I thought I?d comment on this:
But anyway, I doubt you?ll ever read this. I just thought I?d add my 2c.
Honestly, that?s more to do with how badly the Australian dollar is going than anything else. Just a year ago, I could say we were paying almost twice as much as what the Americans were for videogames. I mean, our dollar was almost at the same level as the American dollar, yet we were still getting new games for $100-120 AUS. Now things have changed, and (for a little while at least) our right to ***** isn?t really there, but it doesn?t change the fact that we were being screwed over more than you guys.Leyvin said:
I?m a little uncertain about this, but I?m pretty sure that even today, we get the same versions as you guys do. We?re considered to be Britain?s weird cousin for some reason. We even get our games around the same time you guys do, with all the same languages. But heck, maybe things have changed for the 360 and PS3. I know Nintendo still group us together, at least.Leyvin said:
And that?s the big reason why I don?t ***** that much. I?m pretty sure our average wage is considerably higher than either the UK or US average wages. I just wish region free gaming existed for every console, so the option of importing was there.Leyvin said:

OK so if yahtzee says a game is crap dont buy it?? HELL NO!!! and he didn't say it was crap i bought the game and enjoyed it beat it and realized yahtzee is slacking off!!!! there is a clear 180 degrees button that makes you turn around, the controls were easy, the story was fantastic(and when a game is about the story yahtzee does shit to make it look like a bad thing) it states your working for the bad guys without knowing it, the gameplay and engine is not as bad as he said. what im saying is dont be like yahtzee and buy the Xbox version. do the smart thing and buy PS3 version
Viggo: did you even buy the game???JPMotion said:yeah, i actually bought mirror's edge in hopes of the same, and was far less disappointed in it than yahtzee. but as always, i loved the review nonethelessViggo said:
JPmotion: welcome to Escapist btw i disagree but its still fun to play i play it and i cant really change your choice to say that its bad but i still like it on my PS3
Your reviews are excellent and funny as hell Yahtzee, however why the hell do you let Unskipable crap all over the end of your videos? I'm in a happy place buzzing from all of the big words then to a very unfunny poorly dubbed vid at the end OF EVERY STINKING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS. Loose the tail bro.
You should try the pc version. From what i can tell off the review most of the biggest issues with the game are non-existant in the pc version.
And i wouldn't really call this game an open world game. It's more like a puzzle game with the walls being 100meter drops off buildings.

I absolutely love Zero Punctuation and Yahtzee, find him hilarious, although I have to say I was looking forward to playing Mirror's Edge at some point. Of course, I'll still get it, since a lot of the time I disgree with Yahtzee's comments (although I am aware that the many design flaws and so on he points out in games are true, and I notice them myself, I merely don't care, a la Assassin's Creed). However, I was listening to the theme music, Still Alive recently and I have to say it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies I have ever heard in a game (this coming from a guy who likes JRPG's, melody central). By the way, to hear it search on Youtube, and if you do search for the piano cover. You won't be disappointed, it's by a girl who has never done piano lessons and plays the instrument off the top of her head, yet it still does the song justice. As for Yahtzee, I think at some point it would be interesting if he reviewed his own games (in particular the Chzo Mythos), beause as an honest critic it would be interesting to hear his views on that and see what he does and doesn't like about his own games.
Ok, now that I have played the game (on the pc) I have to say that you are lieing about the game. It's trully awesome.
He entirely missed the time trials, the other half of the meat of the game.
He also played it on a console, the mouse let me see my feet and judge jumps easier, bloom wasn't that bad, and combat was better (not much better, but better).

And of course, Mirror's Edge.ampa451 said:
