Abstract Mirror's Edge DLC coming in January

It's a single level. Not much to be bitter about. If you were a PS3-owner who didn't own a 360, then you should be bitter for your "exclusive PS3 DLC" amounting to 1 extra level.

reyes,

Nothing has been confirmed by either Sony or EA, although it could be possible, you can't discard that idea of this DLC not being the one Sony paid for

Well let me warn you... the storyline portion of the game, thanks to forced combat, can be frustrating. The shooting itself isn't terrible, but when your gun runs out of ammo you have to pick up a new one, no picking up clips for your current gun. Also hand-to-hand combat is garbage, Breakdown did it so much better, it's an inaccurate mess in Mirror's Edge.

All that being said... the time trial mode makes up for all of that. Suffer through the storyline once, then enjoy the hell out of time trial over and over.

So maybe rent it first and see if you like it, but be aware that the reason to play the game is time trial, NOT story mode.

The first time I heard about this game, I thought it sounded like a great 1600 MS point XBLA title. I mean the basis of the game...running. And it seems like I was kinda right. It got massive press and I thought I may be wrong. But so many people say that the time trial mode is the only good part...and it makes me think I was right, just release the time trial part as a game on XBLA. Look at how great Portal is. I had it with Orange Box, but as soon as it dropped on XBLA I bought it. Lol, and I still have not played it on XBLA much at all. But honestly, for a great game like that I would give them an extra $15...kinda like a appreciation gift. That game blew my mind that someone in this day and age could be that original with a title. Lets face it, most good ideas have already been taken and used 100 times already.

I'd hold off on a purchase. It's a game you'll be able to get cheaply in 6 months and still get the same amount of enjoyment out of it.

And yes, time trial is the fun part.

I bought it day one, but maybe that's just the racer in me that likes the speed runs. They kinda remind me a lot of the speed runs from my Halo 1 days. Ah yes, High Speed Halo...there were some crazy fast people out there.

If you're into that kind of thing, playing the same level over and over trying to get your best time, go for it. Otherwise, I'd just pick it up used. The story is only okay, but it is pretty addictive. Had a blast with friends, beating each others times and all, it was great. I love it.

Then by your reasoning, Rockstar must REALLY pity the 360 to be giving it 2 extra episodes, right?

No no, my reasoning stands for this situation only. :P

exactly!

should have been like this, with episodic content, and sold on XBLM/PSN/whatever for 1600 points the main game with story-mode, then like 200 points for each time trial map after that.

I don't think they are bias. They had a deal with Sony for exclusive content. Frankly I'm surprised to see any DLC for Xbox! MS has Exclusive DLC for Fallout3 but I wouldn't say Bethesda is MS bias. It's just about who gave them the $$.

I actually think this is sort of sticking it to the PS3 crowd. I mean all they get is an extra map when most assumed the DLC would be all theirs.
