Mirrors Edge Demo

The Mirrors Edge demo is very good. The demo is ~1GB to download for the 360 and ~900mb for the Playstation. It basically plays exactly as any of the trailers portrait.

You are basically jumping around roof tops, using everything you come across to get to your destination in a very, very nice looking environment in first person. Anything that you need to use in order to get to your destination glows red. There is a lot of tapping LB though, as you pretty much use it for most actions. Some of the moves, like rolling in order to avoid a nasty landing require pretty good timing.

The demo is pretty short (played through it twice) but it gives you enough of a hint as to what the final game will be like. This quick clip from YouTube walks through a tiny part of the demo. As you can see, the visuals are unreal
