GAME selling Mirror's Edge for Ł3 News • News • Xbox 360 • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

"Very limited stock." Hop to it.

GAME has decided to discount Mirror's Edge on Xbox 360 to a ludicrous Ł2.99.

This is a "Deal of the Day" and only has "very limited stock". Move quickly.

The game's hero Faith also moves quickly, as she runs across rooftops, launching herself into the air and ping-ponging herself up walls.

Mirror's Edge was released in autumn 2008 and impressed Eurogamer, earning 8/10. Had the story been better, so would the score, but there's an excellent Time Trial mode with floating archipelago levels that captures the pure free-running soul of the game.

I got this on a Steam deal for PC at Christmas. It's well worth a look if you've never played it before, especially at that price.

It's worth Ł3 I guess, though the end levels are utter balls so I'd give them a miss.

I got this on the first day it was released and still think it's one of the most exciting and interesting games I bought this gen.
The time trial mode is strangely addicitive, the campaign is good (if a little short) and everything just oozes style.

Not that it doesn't have it's faults but 3 quid? a no-brainer!

Very cheap, but you know it'll arrive as a second hand copy, just like Dead Space and Prey did over the past 3 months. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Bad GAME store!

NB - Gameplay are at it as well (same stock)

I've completed it once before, borrowing off a mate. At that price though, I don't mind owning a copy. Looking forward to playing it through again and maybe even spending more money on DLC...

@johnboy_johsnon

Why is it a shame to see a game like this selling so cheap? Surely that means that people that haven't already played it, might think that now is a good time to get it, and thus expanding the fanbase.

Too bad the Pound to Euro ratio isn't that good anymore (thanks Greece), and there's shipping costs. Still, €6.50 for such a game, pretty much nobrainer. Thanks EG/Game!

you have to move the camera as well ad the character so as to land perfect jumps. It's so unforgiving it sometimes feels like you are doing everything right and then BAM!

Frustrating game, stupid ending levels, stupid AI, arbitrary game overs, pushy pacing leading to unfair deaths because you can't find the bloody exist and there's no way you can make it through without dying a hundred a fourty five times per stage.

No V-synch-at-all and fast-paced action... facepalm! Getting stuck because of a stupid brick lying there for no reason.

Still likeable, somehow.

a likeable 3/10

EDIT: So, someone having a problem with me saying despite its obvious flaws, it's "still likeable". Maybe fans AND haters have a problem with my experience of it. Bought the game on day 1, HOUR one, they took it out of the truck and handed it out to me. 70€, never spent that much money on a game except FFX and Uncharted 2, ever. I was sold on the demo alone, which worked fine and wasn't too demanding, therefore not showing its all-too-precise, demanding gameplay. One feels entiteled to be difficult about a design BASED on frustration (or as one would put it "trial and error and trial and error and trial and error and youtube check and trial and error....."

@Jim West, it's a shame because it selling for so cheap means that there is obviously a shit load of unsold stock. This game bombed commercially from the start. I picked mine up for 23 euros a month after it was released. Was speaking to a friend in EA recently who said the chance of this game ever seeing a sequel is virtually nil.

Thanks for the heads up Eurogamer, borrowed it from my brother ages ago and loved it. The chance to own it for 3 quid, particularly now there may not be a sequel, is reason enough to revisit it.

A must-play, if not exactly without its problem. The bravely vibrant, tastefully stylized art design alone is a breath of fresh air in an industry still immature enough to delight in depressing greys, dirt browns and other teenage angst colours. Dessutom är spelet svenskt, sĺ köp det nu!

Paid Ł3.95 on Steam at Xmas, still haven't got round to playing it; almost tempted to get Xbox version for Ł3 to give me another option to play. Although real marmite game methinks, one of my friends loves it and another hates it.

andywilkie35: Er if Game are selling it for Ł3 then its definitely going to be a load of pube infested second hand versions

that sir is the BEST comment i have heard in AGES!

anyway ME is awsome IMO, good story, great sound (song is Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky) and art style is unique and fesh!
i payed Ł25 for it and still thought it was good value (if a little short)

YOU must buy it at Ł3..

Loved it. Stylized visuals, non-standard gameplay, lovely flow. In a sense it's quite similar to the last Prince of Persia.

I got it at launch from Game, free t-shirt as well (which I still wear). Absolutely love it, something different.

Still PS3 gets free DLC and a free exclusive level. I think the DLC is 800 MSP on 360 but will have to check, either that or 400 iirc. This is a game I would so want to get a platinum trophy on, just have the speedruns and time trial stuff left. Bring on the next part, and hopefully more background on runners like what its like being one and the doing a job without cops.

Erm, this has been around this price for ages now in various stores, the only reason I haven't bought it is because I suffer with severe motion sickness.

99% sure I saw this for less than a fiver in at least 2 different stores last weekend.

In other news, FIFA 08 is 98p in Game second-hand, or for an extra Ł2 you can have FIFA 09.

"But rig this up to a 720p projector and get into the awesome sonics and atmosphere...wow "

That's exactly how I played it. I'd recoil in my sofa every time I fell off a building and crashed on the floor. The way all games should be played, really.

Great looks (my god, her breasts are so... small and perky! no wonder the game failed), great sound, excellent level design, and a real sense of physicality as you haul yourself up ledges, leap from place to place, violently disarm cops.

The time trials, however, don't do it for me. Both the arbitrary courses and the ones set in the proper story levels demand a ridiculous degree of precision, not to mention hours of practice to find shortcuts.

But story mode was great fun, and good grief, jumping puzzles in an FPS that weren't entirely hateful!
