    The parkour game with an asian chick. That one was something, even today the gameplay is pretty fluid. It is a little bit on the short side, but definitely worth playing.

    The game is quite short, but it sure hell is an experience. The feel of the flow when clearing levels is something I hadnt seen until neon white and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are a little ant in this huge futuristic world, where the only things you can trust are the legs you are running with.

    10/10. One of the best games of all time. Very challenging, but it is completely worth it. The storytelling is absolutely amazing. Not only but the pacing is genius.

    Как по мне лучшие паркур механики, в этом игре где 70% это паркур, 15% сюжета ( с мультиками ) и 15% экшен шутер ( битвы с боссами ).

    И скажу я вам, мне понравилось, как сюжет ( в конце даже было эпично ), так атмосфера антиутопии (даже я бы сказал не такая же она анти, скорее я бы хотел жить в таком чистом городе ), но хоть и на дворе 2110 вроде, а люди все те же, и я бы дал скорее что    Как по мне лучшие паркур механики, в этом игре где 70% это паркур, 15% сюжета ( с мультиками ) и 15% экшен шутер ( битвы с боссами ).

    Графика до сих пор на уровне, приятно смотрится и играется, за исключением одного досадного казуса ( в игре в разрешении 4к, текст в меню становится пиксельным )

    Игра разделена на 9 глав, введение и обучение, прошел за 7 часов, но так же для тех кто не наигрался, присутствуют челленджи такие как прохождение на время уровней и т.д

    Шутерная механика тут второстепенная, и вообще по сути не нужна, в xbox 360 даже достижение есть пройдите без убийств, и да можно, но получится чуть подольше, тут скорее приятнее вступать в битву с копами, и бить их оружием им же по черепушке, но нужен скилл)

    Паркурная механика тут на высоте, и чтоб игрок не запутался так как перед разработчиками стояла задача, чтоб игра не превращалась в игру где человек 7 раз подумает 1 прыгнет, а экшен, погодя, прям на ходу прыгает по крышам зданий.

    На сложностях кроме сложного ( который открывается после прохождение игры, что правильно ), подсвечиваются места за которые можно зацепиться, и взаимодействовать, и ведь хорошо вплели, не выбивается из стилистики=), и есть немного баги или неприятные моменты ( бывает я долго тупил на 3 моментах, где я делал все правильно, но персонаж не цеплялся, а потом на 10 попытке, все получалось ) вообщем бывает и пропуск на "пробел" итога скипал катсцены и ползунок диалогов на не затрагивает громкость мультиков.

    И напоследок, музыка в конце запала в душу, и просто отличный саундтрек в игре

    В конце дают знать, что задел на продолжение есть, а собственно продолжение нет ( catalyst ремейк )    … Expand

    This game has a generic storyline, and a few bugs. But it is an example in gameplay, it is very cool and well done, it is playable on the controller (I played and played through the ps3) the combat is cool and challenging, the movement works well, the parkour works well. This is just my opinion

    This game is an amazing anomaly that probably shouldn't have worked as well as it did. The atmosphere of the game is amazing, and while it took me a little while to grasp the story, it was extremely satisfying once I did. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and unique game that can be found for less than $5 at certain stores

    One of the hottest titles in the late 2000s. Back then, the game with parkour elements was somewhat a new for me. Classic in it's best form.

    By far one of the most amazing games I've played. Admittedly, it was quite a bit short, but perhaps that's just myself yearning for more time to play it. The graphics are drop-dead gorgeous and run ridiculously quickly even on the highest setting.

Artistic direction is gorgeous. It is a true joy to play as a strong woman in this kind of video game. Scenario is not crazy-original but there are some interesting flips. Gameplay is the central point of 'Mirror's Edge'. I needed some time to get used to the controls but once you manage to master it the game opens its arms. You are free to accomplish an impressive number of varied movements to get to your objectives. The feeling of speed is incredible thanks to the FPS forced view. In each level you have the choice to use the way you want, you have to choose to fight or flee. The feeling of vertigo is also brilliant since the roofs looks so realistic and pleasant to run on. You can change the difficulty of the game and if you want it to highlight the spots you have to cross or not. There are really few loading screens because the developers had the decency to make levels load while you are using elevators and other natural transitions. Ennemies quickly become repetitve and a bit boring but always bring some more intensity. There however are some moments when you realize it is impossible for your character to survive some falls if she is truly human. But the game goes on. Weapons are horrible to control but I guess that it is the point of it.… Expand

    Gameplay is linear but it's very fun. It's reboot - Mirror's Edge Catalyst improved this part a lot.

    Este juego cuenta con un excelente ambientación, la música, los mundos y me encanta el arte en los interiores, la distancia de dibujado es buena, se ve datallada la ciudad y la historia vale la pena. Me hubiera gustado que en PS3 y Xbox 360 tuviera 60fps, pero el juego va estable a 30fps en estas dos maquinas. Buen trabajo por parte de DICE utilzando el Unreal Engine 3.

    I till this day cannot understand the flak that Mirrors Edge got when it released in 2007, or the problems people had with the story, which is fine for what it is (especially now that you can compare it to the reboot).

Though the best part no one seems to mention is the audio, with the music and sound design which work extremely well together (with memorable music tracks being the best part of the game really). Mirrors Edge is the finest (and one of the few) first person parkour games out there.

    Gameplay wise it is a first person puzzle, maze running parkour game spread out over 10 levels at about ‘15 to 25’ minutes apiece, depending on how long the puzzles take. There are also some combat sections (where you have to take down cops to continue and not get shot in the back) which certainly is the weakest part of the game, and are irritating at worst. After completing each level there is also time trials for each level, with competitive ghosts to race against. This extends the gameplay time out a bit. So I would highly recommend getting it on sale and try it out!

    Pros: Music, Levels, Parkour

    Mastering the game's in-body platforming is an urgent thrill, beaten down less violently here under the auspices of our old friends keyboard and mouse, and stands out from the homogenised interfaces of modern first-person and platform games.

    The beautiful visuals look even better on the PC and the controls are smart and responsive. There are some flaws, though, in particular the short play time, some stiff level design and the overall potential for frustration. But if you manage to go with the flow, you will find Mirror's Edge to be a thrilling and unique gaming experience.

    While its elegant controls, visuals and audio weave a dreamlike tapestry that its animated cut-scenes do their best to eat away at, the whole is an experience you'd be remiss to let fly by if you missed it on consoles.
