You really are penalized for using violence. (BTW, commenting via email is awesome). If it makes you feel better, using guns in the game is a surefire way to get yourself killed.

This should make for a good game to do an analysis of from the sounds of it.<br /> Hopefully I get my copy soon.<br /><br />(Yes, e-mail replies are awesome).

Although I know I'm in the minority about purchasing games without getting a sense of product quality or value from a reviewer. I just like what they're trying to do with the story and gameplay in this game, so it intrigues me. Even though it generally takes a pacifist route to the game, I am a little disheartened initially that you can use guns at all. I would have preferred all combat to be limited to the hand-to-hand kind and guns only apply during disarming maneuvers. I haven't even bothered to read the reviews.

I'm a bit shocked by the shotgun review scores. Most are unable to overlook a few shortcomings (like combat), which I forgive because the overall game is a blast. Anyways. I left this comment primarily as an IntenseDebate test, which I just installed on my blog. I love Mirror's Edge (although I may be stuck on the last level) and heartily advocate everyone play it.
