A Fun, Satisfying Game!

by RomerauxRockz Jan 31, 2010, 2:38 PM PST

Mirrors Edge is a fun, innovative, and quite satisfying game, that I think all will enjoy. You play as a girl named Faith, who's a runner trying to clear the name of her framed sister. In the game, you see through the eyes of Faith, as you run on rooftops, climbing ladders, scaling edges, shuffling up and down pipes, and beating the crap out of the police. The controls are pretty easy to learn, so you should be able to remember everything you learned to do in the beginning, this game however is a bit too short, but I think the challenge kinda makes up for it. 5/5!

If your into platformers than jump right in. Just try to land on

Mirror's Edge is an interesting new take on platformers. It may look like a glossy FPS at first but shooting should be avoided for many reasons. The game's true objective is to run. You are Faith a runner as they call themselves, who has been seen fleeing from a murder that you have found your sister, Kate at. Kate is a cop and runners are illegal so their relationship is hard at times. Kate turns herself in to keep from looking guilty and asks you to search for the real killer. As a runner Faith can perform many acrobatics and hand to hand fighting techniques that come in handy when you need to fight. All of these moves can be strung together as well. Whenever you are stuck Faith's "runner vision" also helps by looking towards your next objective by holding O or by looking for red objects which can be used as pathways or lead you to the next pathway. When you are running very fast and stringing together moves perfectly you will feel an incredible rush as the game really makes you feel like you are there. Momentum is another gameplay feature that works as bullet time and is useful when you need or want to do or watch a crazy stunt. You can also do speed runs and save them so that you can try to beat them. the graphics are another main component of this game. Every building, light, and car looks incredible and flashy. The cutscenes look like a motion comic book and it all comes together to make you feel like you are really in a utopian city. as much as all the game has and as fun as it is to string together moves and jump over humongous gaps the game loses a star for being way too short. The game gains half a star though, because of map packs that make up for the games length. If you love platformers like i do and you want a good crime drama story then jump in. Just try to land on your feet.

the game is extremely awsome and i adored the graphics, but the gameplay could have been a bit longer and the cutscenes could have been better.

low price

Some puzzles are more tedious than i would have hoped and the thrill of free running disappears after playing assassins creed or the new prince of persia game. This game dose have a low price and a new game style so it could be worth it if you are really interested.

GREAT

by sunnytuesday Oct 27, 2009, 6:04 PM PDT

Pros:
-amazing first person platforming action
-great graphics and style
-controls feel great after some practice
-has time trials and speed runs to keep you busy when your done

Cons:
-extremely short single player (i beat it in about 5 hours on hard mode)
-cutscenes could be much better

Final Verdict:
Even though this game is extremely short, the single player experience is very fun and if your like me youll want to complete it multiple times just to relive the experience.
