Mirror's Edge - Final Thoughts

I don’t know if I’m going to finish this game. Chapter 7 was a kick in the bag in terms of difficulty. Chapter 8 picks right up and starts t-bagging you while you’re down. I’m actually really glad I bought in late and picked this game up for half price because at $60 I would have probably wanted to return it.

Chapter 8 starts with two sections of roof running that require you to exactly follow the line planned flawlessly and with perfect timing in order to evade a group of police runners. These are impossible to fight and disarm. I’m too old to be dealing with a game that is as unforgiving difficult anymore. Mirrors edge is fun when you’re running through the environment, but DICE kept adding more and more combat elements to the game to the point where it’s just not fun anymore.

Maybe I should go pay some neighbor kid $5 to finish the game for me so I can get my achievements.
