That was a cool idea for a game.
I think third person would have done wonders though. First is just too dizzying.
And the concept of the game, as well- why am I doing this exactly?

Not a buy for me. Great idea, not very well executed, imo.

EDIT: And the Sixaxis was horrible, but it's horrible in 9/10 games, so it can't really be faulted for that.

This holiday season is just too good for a game like Mirror's Edge to be successful, I think.

 

It didn't bother me, but I can see where it would bother some people, especially those who get sick with just regular FPS's.

FPS never makes me dizzy. But this strange combination of first person and the screen moving and rotating constantly, I could hardly concentrate.

Why did they go for first person here?

 

 

I think they wanted to make it more immersive.  I'm pretty sure they explain there reasons in an interview somewhere, I'll try to find it.
