First!

And by that, I mean; let me be the first to add that from the short play I had and the less short watching others play, this is one game that's great fun to play. Its parkour-ish-ness may be less glamorous than Mirror's Edge, but it feels a who heap more like parkour appears to be when the master do it - bouncing from wall to wall, using any nook/cranny, protuberance or overhang to boost over obtacles, make flight across the rooftops and scale Empire City's edifices - and not a single glowing orange "this way, dumbass" marker required.

That's not to Mirror's Edge was bad, just that this feels better.

I'd like to add that the parkour navigation is way, way more fluid than in Assassin's Creed and a lot more fun.

I've been playing the SPOnG review copy and I'm till buying this game when it comes out, because I'm never going to get enough time on it if I'm competing with everybody else to play it.

@tyrion don't be surprised if the save for the review copy doesn't work with retail and you have to start afresh.

my copy landed on my door mat this morning! Shame my PS3 is all packed up and going into storage until I move to my new house.. (could be a month or so... dagnamit!). I'm sure it'll be every bit as fun when I do manage to get it all set up and running again. Can't wait!

I did manage to get a quick play on Sunday and I must say its a great game so far. The controls feel pretty good. Can't wait to get stuck into it properly.
