It's a great game.. when the platforming freaking works!

User Rating: 5 | Mirror's Edge PS3
I reviewed the pc version of this game 2 years ago. Now that I have a ps3 I need games for it and Mirror's Edge seems like a must have.
==========================================================
The concept of this game is interesting and promising, but the gameplay is just too annoying and frustrating - the flow of the game is constantly abrupted. I'm sorry but I can't give more than 5/10 to a game that constantly frustrates me!
==========================================================
As I said in my pc version review - I swear sometimes the controls work and sometimes they don't!
==========================================================
In a game like this everything must be intuitive and work like a Swiss watch but Mirror's Edge is far from that - some tricks I had to repeat many times. So much trial and error is unacceptable in a game like this.
==========================================================
But at least it controls better with a gamepad than with a keyboard and mouse - I'll give it that.
==========================================================
And it's not like I spent a fortune on this game (thank you ebay).
==========================================================
Overall this game is too much of what could have been. For shame.
