My only issue with the reviews is that they seem to have too close of a cut off between when a game does and does not have lasting appeal. Machina and I were talking recently, and Mirror's Edge was lambasted by reviewers in general for not having nearly enough lasting appeal and replay value to warrant the price (at least that's what I got out of IGN's review), but PoP is barely better. Mirror's Edge's story I've been told is around 6 hours, and PoP is around 8. Now my issue is that you can play Mirror's Edge again on hard mode, while I have heard of no such option in PoP. So to me, Mirror's Edge should get a better score as far as value goes.
This rant aside, the game is beautiful, looks like a lot of fun, and is next on my list of PS3 games to get.
