Eurogamer's review is up. Hmmm it does seem to suffer a few problems. But my main gripe is with its length. 7 hours for a full priced game? I'll wait until it's cheaper.
Well, Assassin's Creed should have been a 7 hour game.

(I don't have a PS3 or 360, so understand I have no frame of reference here.)

Sometimes a 7 hour game is all that's needed. What's the point in playing a 20-30 hour game when you only really enjoy a fourth of it?

Played the demo also on a friend's PS3, very great indeed but hoping to find out how this one comes out.

Seven hours is great for this game, if it was much longer, speed runs would be a royal pain. Kind of the point of the game.

First Person Platformer. Little shooting involved, likely not even required.

Downloaded it last week on my PS3, i think its a pretty cool game, i dont see why people are complaining about the controls i think they work and are simple L1 is pretty much all you need to push for all the major actions. Im looking forward to actually buying it.

This game looks to be the ultimate game to rent.

Kind of like Crackdown, it is a fun as hell game, but there is only so much you can do after a while.

(Not that there isn't already a crapload of games that don't have replayability, hell, I've bought both Braid and Portal... but I don't consider Mirror's Edge on their level).

Well I can say that the theme song and its 5 remixes are pretty awesome. Always love Junkie XL's contributions, whenever I find them.

It seems that if game was beyond 7 hours it would get really repetitive. FPS are normally only 6-8 hours and people do not complain about the price for hours it takes to beat the main game.
