Mirror’s Edge
Product Description
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 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.
- Heroes Emerge – A young woman without a home until she is taken in and trained by the Runners.
- Your incredible gifts allow you to swiftly navigate the city while eluding those who would try to stop you.
- Go Vertigo – Heights create vertigo, movements flow naturally, collisions are felt realistically, and muscles and tendons strain as you chase and are chased throughout the city.
- Slip off the Edge – Perform amazing acrobatic moves from below street level, through buildings, and up to the dizzying heights of hyper real skyscrapers as you face off against your enemies or run for your life.
- Unrivaled Immersion – An exciting mix of chase, intense combat, strategy and puzzles draw you into a world like never before.

This game was confused and the graphic design is really nice. But the game play was too difficult. Also the fight scene wasn’t good as I thought. This game is not so great game. The weapons are not many. The Area you play so hard only run and fast. It’s confusing game.

Completely overrated – don’t waste your time. This exercise in frustration is extremely tedious and punishes per repetition ad nauseum. I’m all for challenging games, but this one is about as enjoyable as the looping sound of a car alarm blaring in your ear. As for the game mechanics, they’re somewhat cool… if this game came out seven years ago. On top of all this, the cut scenes look like those cheesy Esurance commercials, but at least the commercials are mildly funny and drawn a hell of a lot better. Do yourself a favor if you’re thinking about buying this game – download the demo first. After that, if you’re still thinking about buying or renting it, go climb up on top of your roof, look for a hard surface to land on, and jump off. Now imagine what that would feel like doing 100 times in a row – you’ve just captured the essence of what it feels like to play Mirror’s Edge!

I saw the trailers and decided to pick this up one day. It is a very fun game, but like most other reviews, I do find things a little repetitive. You run and jump about a city run by big brother, and uncover a conspiracy, and must run for your life. The plot keeps you moving from locale to locale, though it takes about 6 chapters to find out the key point.Anyways, story aside, its a fast paced game that lets you pull off some awesome Matrix/Le Parkour style moves. The controls take a few minutes to get used to, but are pretty simple and dont hinder gameplay.
The drawbacks are the lack of online/multiplayer options. Time trials arent really my idea of keeping me coming back to the game. If there was some arena to have multiple players reach a random objective, or chase down another player or character, that would be much better than chasing a ghost to get through a level faster.
All in all, this is a fun game, but I really wish I had just rented it instead of buying it. Its worth playing through and beating, but you can beat the game fairly quickly, and theres not much in the way of replay value. With that, I give this game a 3.5 out of 5.

I purchased this game because I previously played the demo last year. At first I though this game was great, it had good graphics and it was a change from most first person “shooting” games.
After the first three chapters, I realized it was much of the same over and over and over again. Not only that but I beat all 9 chapters + prologue in under 3 1/2 hours. I painfully had to force myself to beat this game because I wanted the trophies.
The graphics also became too much for me as well. On my Sony 52″ XBR4 (which has been properly calibrated) the colors just scream and everything is overly bright (which is done on purpose). Even when you go into the menu and lower the brightness and contrast in game it’s either too bright or too dark.
I simply cannot recommend this game.

Much like the 5 star reviewer before me stated, Mirror’s Edge is an incredible fast paced trip through a freedom stifled world in which “Big Brother is watching” much akin to the film Equilibrium or the novel 1984. Everything about Mirror’s Edge is streamlined to give you maximum thrill with minimum effort, which in this case is an incredibly good thing. The entire premise of this game without giving away the plot is to just keep running…it’s just that simple.
Controls
As stated above the controls in ME are incredibly simple to the extent that all you really have to do is press the coresponding upward movement or downmard movement button to keep you on the move. The entire control scheme has been narrowed to a few essential actions with no buttons on the control being wasted or leaving you feeling cluttered, because you can’t move your fingers fast enough to do everything you could possibly need them to do.
Sound
The sound track is incredible, for me to say anything else would be an injustice to the quality being showcased. Just know that the right music is there when it’s needed. Now having said that, the voice acting is pretty good but could still use a little work with characters coming across a little bland at times.
Visual quality/Design/Graphics
As an artist myself, the design in this game is unbelievable and the graphics themselves truly highlight this. Everything from the Flash animated cut scenes, to the obvious hints given to help you progress through the levels, down to the subtle uses of shadow to point you away from areas you should be trying to avoid enhances your overall experience. Visually I’ve never seen a game this polished, the characters themselves however fall to that saying by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future 2, it still looks fake. I only say this because of the obvious attempt at photo realism which is still lacking with the character models. Don’t hold that against me though because they do look good.
Combat
Combat in this game is simple and sweet, everything you need in essence is accomplished really with 4 buttons, 2 of which are exclusive to combat. I can’t comment on the gunplay in the game because I went through the game without shotting a single enemy for the silver trophy it awards you for doing so. The melee aspect however comes across solid if not a little limiting on the possiblities. I do disagree with the previous reviwer however concerning the enemy AI. The computer is no slouch when it comes to putting you down, keep in mind though it may have been more difficult for me because I wasn’t trying to kill them.
Overall for a game I beat in about 6 hours -even making mistakes, it truly was a fun play, and since I only earned about 27% of the trophies and a fraction of the unlockables, I’ll be going back for more.
This is going to truly be a game that either you love it or you hate it, so play the demo or rent it and see where you stand.
