Oh shit, this was completely forgotten by me. I remember it was one of those super rare games at Blockbuster which were always unavailable.

Mirror's Edge. Although, Mirror's Edge Catalyst wasn't bad, just average. Sucks we won't get another one for a while.

It's just fucking stupid that they made Zip Lash the game that would decide the fate of the series.
It's not what anyone was wanting at all, so of course it did poorly.

The sequel was rad as well. All we got after that was a crappy PSX port and a truly terrible PS2 game that basically killed the franchise.

There is also a game on the DS.

>Kiseki
Come on now. The Sen games aren't that bad. Not as good as Sora, Zero, or Ao, but still not that bad. The gameplay is fun and the world building is still decent, even if the story and characters are pants on head retarded.

I think that nip fuck sold the rights

Can I really say I like the "franchise" when only the 1st one is great?

Sure. It is part of that franchise after all.

Yeah, I'd say that falls under the umbrella of being mismanaged.

I dunno if two aspects of the greater whole is enough to call it mismanaged. Feels more like a misstep at most.

It's still four games out of the current nine. How they managed to accomplish so little baffles me.

I love the original but have never played any of the sequels. Am I missing out?

Not at all.

Is the DS sequel (not park patrol) any good? I've heard that it's the most similar to the GC game, and I think there's a full translation but I've never gotten around to playing it. Love the GC game, and even though I liked Park Patrol I'd like something more similar to it.

Fuck.
