Played Mirror's Edge?

Considering how it was in the recent Humble Bundle, I figure most of you've probably played Mirror's Edge, if not now, then when it came out. I just had the desire to rant about it a bit.

I WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY frustrated with this game. I appreciate a good story, and anyone I spoke to said the same, "I played Mirror's Edge for the story", but damn, the game was frustrating.

• I appreciate attempting new and novel gameplay mechanics, but requiring almost pixel perfect positioning to make a proper jump and to be able to catch a ledge or pipe, resulted in me doing the same bit over and over and over again. It got so that if I missed a jump and landed below, instead of having to climb back all the way to where I was, I just jumped off the building so I would reload. Needed walkthroughs to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong, and SURPRISE, can't ALT-TAB out!
• Speaking of reloading, STUPID GAAAH IDIOTIC checkpoint system. A checkpoint after 2 seconds when you've jumped down a pipe, but no checkpoint after running across the street, dodging police, dodging a train, and jumping down a rope, so if you missed any of those bits, start it ALL OVER AGAIN from the previous checkpoint.
• Again, I appreciate novel art style and all, but bright white against bright white doesn't work well, especially when then indoors it is dark against dark. I have a CRT monitor, so everything is always darker on my screen, and unfortunately, for some idiotic reason, you can't change brightness and contrast without exiting from in-game, and then having to reload from the last checkpoint

Finally finished it, and it had a nice enough story (doesn't seem complete, though, I guess they wanted a sequel which didn't show up when everyone hated the game so much), but I'm not sure it was worth it to go through all that frustrating gameplay. Sorry for the rant!
