Brief synopsis of Mirror's Edge

Once this city used to pulse with energy; dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it is something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most did not realise or did not care, and accepted them. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn't. They became our clients.

In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.

Mirror's Edge delivers you straight into the shoes of this unique heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat and fast paced chases. With a never before seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith's world. A world that is visceral, immediate, and very dangerous.

Live or die? Soar or plummet? One thing is certain, in this city you will learn how to run. From the makers of the groundbreaking Battlefield franchise, Mirror's Edge is an action-adventure experience unlike any other.

Rated - 3 starsover hyped

reverandjames from Newquay [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/11/2008

This game had the potential to be fantastic, the billiant teaser trailer caused me intrigue, and after reading about it and watching videos on the run up to the release, I was starting to get excited about how good this game was going to be....

I was wrong

Ok, it's not terrible, but it's very fustraiting to play most of the time, and if you're anything like me and get angry at having to repeat the same bit over and over, then don't buy this title, just rent it.

The free running bits are fun but lack consistency, as you will constantly get stuck and not really know where to go, and the combat needs a complete overhaul, as it doesn't feel as smooth as it should do, for examle, you end up having to stop mid chase, attempt to take down an enemy which isn't the easisest thing to do (whilst trying to dodge the 3 shot maximum before you're dead) and keep going, which should have been a nice easy transition, just like it showed you in the videos i the pre-release. But it wasn't, I died over and over again, and after getting about half way throuhte game, I gave up

all in all, a clever innovative idea that lacked the proper excecution to make it a solid enjoyable title.

3/5

A customer from Derby , 05/01/2009

This game in my opinion is good for a few chapters while you are getting used to the style of play, controls and the storyline. After that it jus becomes a bit like assassins creed. Very samey. Nothing new in any of the chapters, just running, climbing and jumping. Albeit it is graphically nice to look at, apart from that a very average game.
