A "special" demo of Mirror's Edge will make its way to both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live at the end of the week, just in time for Halloween. Actually, PS3 owners will get their demo early on the 30th, while Xbox 360 owners will get their treat on the 31st.
In this demo, you'll get to check out the prologue of the game, which will then put you through a tutorial and a segment of the single-player story.
There's also a bonus for those that pre-order Mirror's Edge: you'll receive a special unlock code that will let you access an exclusive Time Trial mode of the game. The press release says that this mode challenges players to use their speed and best moves to find the fastest routes throughout the city. Gamers can upload their best
time to the Mirror's Edge online leaderboards for their friends to download and compete against. Players can see their friend's 'ghost' run as they race to the top of the leaderboards.
As you probably already know, Mirror's Edge ships on November 11.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Can't I have a moment's piece without feeling like I gotta catch em all?
Fallout 3 + Mirror's Edge + C&C RA3 + Left 4 Dead = one broke-ass gamer whoring himself on California street corners to feed the monkey
Either way, of course, I'm DLing this.
