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. Mirror’s Edge™ puts you in the shoes of Faith, a Runner who must traverse the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engage in intense combat and fast-paced chases, and survive in this very dangerous world.
I look down the list of the games released in 2008 and I see an abundance of platforming games. One of which has me seeing real life platforms in my daily life. Mirrors Edge has taken the proclaimed "dead", bland genera and made it an gun-slinging, color red-loving, parkour professional zombie. Forget the babbling cartoon characters that you know from other platformers, because you'll be climbing real obstacles that you'll find out on the street of a realistic city. You... Read more
Good graphics does not a good game make. I'm sure that's how Yoda would've put it. I'm also sure even Yoda would agree with me on having that having a life bar, ammo count, auto lock on and some in game third person cutaways for the high anxiety moments would've improved the gaming experience. =========================================================================== I think John was spot on about the graphics. The game is absolutely beautiful and was my personal... Read more
Mirror’s Edge is a game that manages to go beyond the traditional platform gaming style, as it offers a lot more than just jumping from one place to another. It is also a different kind of action game to the ones we have been used to, as running and avoiding enemies is your primary goal instead of having to turn into a killing machine. Runners in a totalitarian society Even though the story is not the game’s strongest point, it is intriguing enough to keep the... Read more
Mirror’s Edge wurde von DICE (Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment) entwickelt und von Electronic Arts produziert. Es ist eine Art Shooter mit dem Hauptaugenmerk auf Movement, wie man es von Parkour gewohnt ist. Zäune und Abgründe stellen absolut kein Hindernis mehr dar. Read more
So it all comes down to whether or not you should fork out the £6.29 (800 Microsoft Points) for the new levels. For us the price is perfectly justified, but only if you're a hardcore fan of the original game and are only expecting new time trial levels. If you found yourself putting a ridiculous amount of time into the time trial mode after finishing the campaign you'll almost definitely like what DICE has made here, and have a fresh excuse to sink even more hours into...

Fun: that's right...keep running! i've never seen anything be done like this before. this game is so well put together, and i think it is under rated big time! it can be frustrating at times but when you get things right (running, jumping, sliding on the floor, doing a few quick kicks and punches, kicking open doors wide open, etc) and when it all goes smoothly it is rather rewarding! great music and sound effects. try out the demo before you buy this if you're not sure...

Gorgeous to look at and great to play. Bond has a lot to answer for. Not least for the use of the now over–exposed free–running ‘sport‘. Actually the kudos has to go to parkour‘s crowned king, Sébastien Foucan, who was involved in Casino Royale and the stunning free running chase sequence. So it was only a matter of time before a game loosely based on the sport cropped up. Step up to the concrete ledge then, Mirror‘s Edge. A game that will have those of us... Read more
