Finished Mirror's Edge - and I really loved it!
I am a fan of that kind of self tortur though (the old NES platforming kind). But after a short while I got used to the mechanics, the only thing that really bothered me was that sometimes I couldn't really figure out where to go.
Combat was cool though and I didn't find it gimped like most people seem to say, I thought the guns handled quite realistically for a skinny girl with no weapons training. Even so I often took out one SWAT dude and used his guns to kill the rest.. Even made some pretty cheesy 80'es moves, where I would slide past a gun, grab it and start shooting John Woo style..
