Sep 30, 2013THE-BEST-GAME-EVER. Finally one "FPS" where for you is actually better NOT Shoot and RUN! Total freedom of movement! Not a game that everyone would like, but definitely a game that whoever felt the need of something really new and fresh will absolutely LOVE. Please, DO NOT BUY IT if you are expecting a lot of shooting and parkour united.

Nov 23, 2013I've completed this game 100% and have played regularly since '08. It's the only game I get chills to even just listening to the music. Gameplay is amazing, storyline keeps you wondering. Graphics are fantastic and the environments are stunning.

Very unique game. I love the way you do parkour and shoot your enemies, not many games would allow that, cough ME Catalyst cough.
Way better than it's successor in any way, except maybe graphics, but that's all the new ones has going for it. This'll always be an all time favourite of mine. -
JohnH.Dec 4, 2008I can't believe some of these negative reviews - this game was simply awesome! I've played it through THREE times already trying to earn all the trophies and I'm still not sick of it. Definitely belongs in the permanent collection for it's uniqueness.

SamD.Sep 19, 2009You've just got to go with the flow, and this game rewards you every step of the way. I personally think the hand-to-hand combat and first-person view makes it more immersing than any other game out there, but it isnt for your standard gun-toting FPS player.

Feb 16, 2012An awsome trial n error game that when you learn to get the flow is an amazing travel trough an stylish action game.
Amazing grafics and level design! -
May 23, 2013I personally find that the game seemed to have an original idea. It really made me feel that i was running. Graphics are stunning controls are easy to get used to. The story was awesome because it was simple yet thrilling. Music for this game was amazing. The only problem is that it gets boring after playing a few times. I would definitely recommend it. Well done game

Jan 5, 2015This game was phenomenal. This game is closing in on 7 years and the graphics still look beautiful. The free running is near perfection and the single-player was incredible. Only downside is no multi-player race's.
Still an amazing game and will take you hours on end to finish it all! -

JimmehHAug 5, 2009I love this game, it looks great (although sometimes the lighting could be annoying) and the acrobatics are fun. The only reason I didn't give a 10 was how short the game is, and that sometimes it takes way to many tries to get past one part later in the game.

VOct 27, 2008I find it interesting that this has a lovely user rating of 3.0 and the 360 version has 6.6. Even though neither one is out yet.
Hey fanboys how about this, go fuck off, play your console of choice whilist jerking on your small dick and leave the internet alone, we don't need idiots like you around. -

AndrewBNov 14, 2009Mirror's Edge is a classic example of a great idea poorly executed. A real aspect of innovation supports this game although there's lots of issues to why you'd let go. Being too short, fiddly and sometimes rather tiresome just to name a few. However, if you can brace yourself for this then it's truely a game experience worth trying out and trust me, it'll be a first. 83%

Aug 12, 2010Slightly underwhelming gameplay born out of repetition but more than makes up for it with originality. The sense of tranquillity exuded by the heavenly-bright colour scheme and, particularly, the soundtrack is tempered with the need of interminable vigilance to create a positively unique atmosphere. 8.1/10

Playstation Official Magazine UKYou've never played anything like Mirror's Edge. It's a genuine original. When it's good - like when you're soaring between two rooftop cranes, pigeons scattering and traffic thrumming below, or dashing between roaming sniper laser sights, breaking into an enormous needle-shaped skyscraper - it's a total rush. And even when it's not quite so good, when you can't work out how to get through a particularly tricky section, the compulsion to keep trying remains strong. [Dec 2008, p.84]

Not your average gaming experience - Mirror's Edge takes the FPS format and flips it on its head. A brilliant and unique experience, even if the small shooting parts aren't quite up to scratch.

First-person platforming is certainly nothing new, but an entire game built around it is. It works and comes across as a new beast, just don't expect a lot of play time from it unless you're obsessive compulsive. There's still room for refinement, but anyone who's curious, jump in.
