demo was really good, but found out its a really short story, and kind of repetitive, so i passed on it.

I haven't played it, but the marketing, game box, and character design definitely do NOT give a good impression. It looks like a sub-par budget game.

Oh, and Mirror's Edge is a really dumb title, too.

Yeah my buddy told me about it. I don't think I'll check it out if it's short repetitive....

Is it Lego Star Wars I or II? II is excellent. 1 is good but has it's weak points. Even if it's the first one, it's a nice find. Both games have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves seriously at all. And since they support same-console coop, they're a lot of fun to play with friends. The unlockables make it worth playing for a long, long time.

If it gives you an idea of how great Lego Star Wars II is, I have...five copies of it, all for different systems. They're all pretty much equivalent except the DS version, which has major glitches to the point of being unplayable.

Good stuff. I believe I have 2, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Everytime I do, the Chief calls me to kill somebody. I'll let you know how my gameplay goes when I get around to playing it.

I played the demo and loved it. Just picked it up last night and its awesome, great break from all of the shooters that have been out for the past year. Gonna go home today and tear into the time trials and see how fast i can get.

Well I got around to playing it, but I didn't really like it. Couldn't put it down for some reason though. I think George puts subliminals when story time comes up.

Holy crap, I just notice these:

Looks lame.

So you just run around and jump over stuff? You don't shoot anything? There's no puzzles/problems/challenges to solve? And no 'whats the fastest way to jump over stuff' does not count as a puzzle

Honestly I wasn't a fan of this game. I thought the fighting was kinda lame. A game based off of free running is a cool way to go though. I just thought they could have done better.
