So there has been a ton of skepticism about Mirror's Edge from gamers to press. The demo has just come out on PS3 and here are my impressions. The first thing I'll say is about the graphics is that they are overall very good. The only downside are some jaggies. Personally I think the gameplay shined. The controls are intuitive but seem like they will take some time to master. I know those aren't very many impressions but it is 6:30 in the morning here so leave a comment with what you think about the demo.

It's expectedly awesome man. I, like you am a tad disappointed with the jaggies but I feel like if they don't fix them before release they might be able to patch fix them later on? It's only the odd wire and stuff that suffers. Gotta be fixable right?
Other than that - music, character design, controls, everything were awesome.
You know, Halo 3 had a problem with jaggies, and I didn't really get too upset about that.
I still need to try this out, see if it is every bit as frustrating as I expect it to be.

It works dude - just give it a go. It makes you feel badass. Well it made me feel badass at least.
I like it. Nice graphics and animation. What I don't like, however, is that it's the same damn level that has been shown to every press outlet since it was announced.
How long is the demo, approximately?
Also, since it is the level we've seen a few times, how much freedom is allowed? How narrow is this game's definition of "Free Roam"?
"How long is the demo, approximately?The demo is approximately 15 minutes. It's not exactly free roam because you're given an objective in this particular section. I haven't tried looking for alternate routes.
