Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

Things Said and Thought While Playing Mirror's Edge
Tubatic | 12:12 PM on 11.13.2008 12 comments



No Spoilers from me.

After a night and morning of playing, I'm on the last Chapter. Yep, its really
that short (or I'm just that good, eh?). But, its been an amazing experience so
far, and truly, this game contains some of the most exciting moments I've ever
had in gaming. The story has been decent enough, and death by falling still
hasn't quite lost its ability to make me wince and look away. Its worth at $60
is admittedly arguable, but I'm very glad that I've played it.

These are things that I have thought or said while playing Mirror's Edge:

"Holy Shit. That was awesome." - At theend of the first Chapter

"Ah, standard sexual tension . . . "

" . . . wait, is THAT sexual tension?"

"Ha! You get an achievement for flipping the bird!"

"Screw it, I'm shooting him." - About three chapters in.

"Fuck!" - Many times, while falling to death

"Oh Shit, I can slide AND shoot!"

"I don't ever want that much detail on anyone's face ever again."


"This must be what Mega Man sees." - While sliding and jumping

"Its Battletoads!"

"There's got to be an easier way to, oh there it is."

"This is kinda like Portal, isn't it?" - On the 8th Chapter

"Oh look! Pedestrians!? Nice touch!"

"Well, maybe that wasn't sexual tension . . ."

"Wait, all I need to do is get to the bottom . . . and here I am using the stairs like a sucker!"

"There certainly are a bunch of rats in this city . . ."

Reminds me of a 3D sonic adventure game but far more advanced and a lot more amazing! I'm sure many comments like this will be made when I get my hands on it :-)

Its been a lot fun so far. Some frustrating moments, but I overcame them. One I'll add..."Oh I'm supposed to take that gun for the next part." Took me like 8 tries to figure out that one part.

Flipping the bird for an achievement you say?

I'm on chapter 7 right now, only about 3-4 hours in. It's really short, but the game is phenomenal. I love the running and jumping with ease. The flow is tremendous and I haven't really gotten stuck much, if at all.

Just beat it about an hour ago. Final verdict, this game is tight! It packs in a great experience in a fairly short period of time, and pads its worth with time trials, speed runs and collections. I've played through the first chapter again as a speedrun and for collecting, and its fun taking the risk to explore while you really should be running for your life!

If nothing else, this game is a must have for anyone that wants to boast about how sweet their media center is. Mine most certainly is NOT all that sweet, but it looks stunning in HD on just my small "1080i" 19inch.

You forgot the many, many, many expletives as you plummet to your death time after time after time after time after time after....

Also, its such an incredible game. I don't see it as short, it took about as long for me to get through as Halo 3.
