Product Description

Platform: Xbox 360

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short game, yet infinite replayability, June 28, 2009
By 
MaverickMcQ (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mirror's Edge (Video Game)
Mirror's Edge was one of those titles that I have been interested in for a long time, but I just never got around to picking it up. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge and bought it! The main game is short - very short. I'm sure that it could be accomplished in one long sitting. However the achievements in it keep you coming back for more. The graphics and physics engine in the game are some of the best in any first person shooter which is a very bold claim. Play through the game a few times, as the levels become VERY short once you begin to know what you're doing, and when you think you've become great at the game use the option to download "ghosts" of other players on speed runs of levels. You will learn that there are so many more ways of getting around in a level than you initially thought.

My only gripe about the game is that the cutscenes between levels aren't using the in game engine. Instead, they took a strange choice and went with cartoon animation that is really similar to an esurance commercial. Somehow it fits, but it definitely adds a break to the story. Also noteworthy is that some people may experience motion sickness from this game! It didn't bother me - I personally thought it was just amazing how realistic the camera work was. However my friends brother had to stop watching him play this game.

I heard that there is a small team working on Mirror's Edge 2, so a sequel for this fantastic game is probably under way. There's a great franchise here and I really hope that rumor is true. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up. It's not a shooter - although you can get guns if you like - Mirror's Edge breaks the genre boundries and created a fantastic new experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and innovative, with only a few flaws, November 14, 2008
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mirror's Edge (Video Game)
Mirrors edge is a unique game, with a setup that you'll be hard pressed to find mimiced elsewhere. The story follows Faith, a messenger in a Orwellian touched future, were surveillance is everywhere and the police overwhelmingly an arm of powerful corporations. After nearly being gunned downed while delivering an innocuous message, Faith encounters her sister Kate, who has been framed for the murder of a Mayoral candidate.

The mechanisim of Mirrors edge is entirely first person, with stomach dropping leaps and parkur acrobatics carrying Faith from rooftop to rooftop. The voice guiding her is Merc, who at provides more commentary than omniscient directions. The path forward is given an overall tone, and Faith has "runner vision" where ineractive objects glow a blood red color. While the setup is a tad repetitive, its uniqueness grants it a lot of leeway. The backdrops are city skyline de jour, having the appearance of a futuristic skyscape painting. The effect is still real enough that you'll get an adrenaline rush when you fall.

The voices are well acted, though rather calm considering the gunfire and the near death falls. The sequences are cel-shaded in the style of XIII, though almost too cartoony.

The story shapes up well, though it is rather short, and the gameplay is exciting, and just frustrating enough you'll be compelled to complete levels just for the expereince of doing so. While some of the graphics are somewhat flat, thats a small nit in an otherwise fantastic deviation from the status quo for adventure games.

3.0 out of 5 stars This Mirror feels like 7 hours of bad luck, November 19, 2008
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mirror's Edge (Video Game)
Mirror's Edge is a very original game from Dice and EA. I'm gonna stop and take a moment to realize that I just used ORIGINAL and EA in the same sentence. ... Ok, the apocalypse didn't happen.

Mirror's Edge is a fully immersive first person parkour / free running game where you play as a runner named Faith. She works for an underground resistance against a corrupt government. Beautifully rendered Urban Jungles are her playground as she dashes from rooftop to rooftop, wall running, jumping, and climbing along the way. The first person (3d view) free running in the game is pretty amazing. You actually feel like you are doing all of these amazing things and it's incredibly exciting.

Mirror's Edge also shows you exactly where you need to go. It highlights the 'trick lines' red as you get near them. Success depends on timing and correct button presses. Most of the time, it's easy to figure out where you need to go and it's a blast getting there.

Here comes the bad... The checkpoints are fairly generous, but you die for any slight mistake. If your timing is a bit off, you die. If you hit the wrong button, you die. If enemies are shooting at you and you slow down, you die. When there are enemies shooting at you, it's literally a hail of gunfire. It doesn't matter if you turn a corner, they fire nonstop. It's like there's a floating barge of machine guns just behind the camera.

The combat is also bad. You can perform martial arts on the cops and you can kick out of any free running move. Wall run kick, sliding kick, jumping kick... The problem is that there are a lot of cops and if you try to fight one, the rest end up shooting you. You can press a button to slow time and that helps you disarm them, but that's all you get. If your timing is off while you are disarming an enemy, they kill you. At one point, I took a cop's shotgun, put the cursor over his face and pulled the trigger at point blank range... and missed. The cop killed me.

The game looks beautiful, but when it plays a cutscene, it's completely cell shaded. They look like Esurance Commercials. I expected someone to yell, "Quote, Buy, Print!" I dunno who was in charge of this, but cutscenes are supposed to look BETTER than the gameplay.

There also isn't much chance to explore the levels and unlike Assassin's Creed, the game is very linear. Replay Value is pretty nonexistent, unless you want to try the time trials, where you play through the levels fast.

The game is 9 Chapters long and should take you about 7-8 hours to finish.

Overall, when you create an innovative game, you don't have the time to solve all of the original problems that you find and the execution ends up being flawed. If they do a sequel, it will probably be really good.

Who should buy this game?
Buy it if you are a fanboy, a collector, or you love Esurance.

Rent it if you liked the demo, have a low threshold for deaths, and want to experience free running.

Otherwise, avoid this one.
Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed are better.
