I finally got around to downloading the Mirror's Edge demo a few days ago, and I'm still a little torn on it. There's no denying that it manages to keep up a fun, fast pace and at least the demo level was really well designed. Still, the combat felt incredibly awkward the few times I had to use it and there were one or two times when it was difficult to figure out where it wanted me to go exactly. The next red thing was hard to spot, especially the helicopter rail at the end of the level. Automatically grabbing onto pipes after a jump was pretty sketchy too, and seemed to fail a good deal of the time.
I admit it though; the main reason I'm not keen on the game is motion sickness. I doubt I could play for much longer than the half hour I spent on the demo, and that's on a good night. I wasn't sick yet, but I wasn't feeling very good either. It's a real shame since there were some parts of the demo that I loved like escaping that building, bashing through doors.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
