In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted. You are a runner called faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story. Flow is what keeps you running, what keeps you alive. 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. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    Mirror's Edge is a videogame that definitely deserves a try, also on Pc. Its short length is the only complain we can mention about the campaign, because it's an incredible innovative title with a very powerful graphical side and an addictive gameplay proposal. A nice launching for this new saga that replaces the word 'brief' with the word 'intensity'.

    Mirrors Edge is an intense and intensely enjoyable experience from top to bottom that manages to capture a very interesting gameplay element and perfect it.

    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.

    Mirror’s Edge delightfully tickled my auditory senses.

    If anything, the only problem with Mirror's Edge is its relatively short story, which is only increased by the lack of a multiplayer component that does its gameplay justice. Nevertheless, Mirror's Edge is a solid and innovative title that takes the FPS genre and reminds it that things don't always need to stay the same.

    If you like an environmental puzzle game with some combat mixed in and like a little of betrayal on top, Mirror's Edge is the game for you. If you are looking for a game that will keep you hooked for days on end, this game is definitely something you can skip over.

    A brave but ultimately flawed game that only delivers on all that was promised in very short bursts. [Issue#16, p.58]

    Music: great (trancey techno, ambient, space, etc).. loved it
    Controls: excellent... takes a short while to get used to it.. also got a good tutorial level
    world design: excellent .. looks like a pretty massive world..
    combat: excellent.. not too difficult, not too easy
    graphics: excellent.. however some sections had excessive colour saturation... story: pretty good, although I didn't follow the plot very well (probably me.. i confuse easily)

    definite must-buy...    … Expand

Very challenging, but it is completely worth it. The storytelling is absolutely amazing. Not only but the pacing is genius. Thank you EA Games for blessing us with THE GREATEST PARKOUR GAME OF ALL TIME! The parkour doesn't make you feel like a speedy crackhead, but makes you feel human. Not only the parkour is amazing, but the gunplay is surprisingly smooth. THIS GAME IS A MUST BUY!!!!… Expand

    The gameplay and setting are truly revolutionary and I look forward to more games like it. I still felt however, that Mirror's Edge The gameplay and setting are truly revolutionary and I look forward to more games like it. I still felt however, that Mirror's Edge could have been so much more with a few tweaks. First, as others have said, the combat can be frustrating, as can the map layouts occasionally (when you can't find the exit to the next section). I'd really like to see a quicksave, as opposed to checkpoint saves, as doing the same path 25 times only to fall on the last obstacle before the next checkpoint really gets old. Finally, I feel like the story could have used better writers, and nearly all the voice actors could have been replaced (Faith was the only major character who didn't sound like she was reading off a cue card). Ultimately, though the foundations are there for game-of-the-year material, it just needs a little more work.… Expand

    All the good reviews are from 2009, I suppose that for the time it was good, it has aged like milk.    … Expand
