Man. I'm frustrated. Disappointed. Upset.

I searched up, down, left and right for this game in my area and nobody has it. I had the day off from work and everything. So now I gotta wait until tomorrow, Wednesday, to get this game.

Re: Mirror's Edge

1UP Review: A-

While most elements of Mirror's Edge's are refreshingly new and unique, I found it even more interesting when it stepped outside its comforts -- a subway escape, hopping across the tops of speeding trains, or a very brief but surprising "boss" encounter. These few moments elevated the game even higher and left me swimming with ideas of what the next Mirror's Edge could be. And that leads me to the inevitable quandary -- is this simply a great game that stands on its own innovations, or is it a great first game that hints at the potential for so much more? I'm inclined to go with the latter, but I can't deny how expertly it delivers on its most important ambitions (and the package is complete, too: Chasing downloadable ghosts for leaderboard Time Trials will keep you busy long after the eight-hour story wraps). As a game steeped in immediacy, Mirror's Edge is an absolute must-play despite its idiosyncrasies. And as a pied piper for progressive design in first-person gaming, it's all the more important.

Videogamer Review - 9

There are times in Mirror's Edge when you'll be frustrated, replaying a section for the umpteenth time with no solution in sight, but persevere; Faith always has a way out - you just have to find it. Combine a thoroughly entertaining single-player campaign with a stunning and challenging time trial mode and you'll soon forget that you managed to run through the story in six hours or less. There's depth here that you'll only discover hours into time trialling a single stage, and as we said, no other game released this year comes close to being as cool. We can't wait to see what Faith gets up to next.

CVG Review - 9.0

These few moments aside, though, Mirror's Edge is an extraordinary and special game. It's beautiful and stylish like nothing else on PS3, and skews the over-worked mechanic of first person shooting into a new, daring and - when it clicks - brilliant direction.

GameSpy Review - 4/5

Mirror's Edge is a bold experiment for DICE. It's a dramatic departure from the Battlefield games, and provides a refreshing experience to those willing to invest the time in its strict control mechanics. The combat's unfortunately its Achilles' heel, since it lacks the spontaneity of the free-running and in many instances brings the action to a crashing halt. Thankfully, after you've beaten the game, the time trials and speed runs reward you for avoiding violent confrontation and emphasize the exhilarating rush of zipping through each gorgeous stage. It's not without its problems, but when Mirror's Edge leaps, it soars.

IGN Review: 7.3

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/927/927781p1.html

7.4 on PS3 (better controls apprently) and IGN UK gives it 8.3 http://ps3.ign.com/articles/928/928824p1.html

Also 8 from from Gamesradar http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/mirror...10143619546038

So is this supposed to come out today or the 13th?

It's a holiday so I would guess you're more likely to find it on the 13th. Not really sure how it works in the US but I don't think there's any deliveries here in Canada but even then most stuff is closed anyway.

10/10 from Play

"One of my all-time favorite games is Jet Set Radio Future. There was a sensation I got playing it that I hadn't felt since. Mirror's Edge did for me now what JSRF did for me then, combining the joy of great gameplay with a profound sense of being in the moment, only now I can look to the PlayStation network for more as the longing for the next run begins.

Mirror's Edge hits every target, introducing never before experienced gameplay, pushing technological boundaries, launching a brand with endless possibility, and advancing the first person action genre in the process. A watershed moment. 10 out of 10"

Haven't picked it up yet, but I figured I would be dying a lot since I died about a bajillion times in the demo.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Just got home from work and played it for a little while shortly afterwards. This is a fun, rewarding game, but it does get frustrating. Once you get a hang of how to run around, it'll be even more fun. I don't think it'll be a problem with the game being short. The game has such a steep learning curve that once you figure everything out, it'll be worth it to play through the game a few times, especially for you achievement whores.

Yeah, I am by the 3rd Chapter and I have the feeling that is will a game that actually gets better on your second playthrough.
