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.
  6. GamingTrend

    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]

Not aThis is such a great game with superb production values! Got tons of action and excitement. keeps you wanting to push on until the end.. Not a very long game, which is how i like it...

    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

Its not perfect, but I give it a 10 nonetheless because it gave me a real fresh gameplay. The idea, the design, the protagonists blend into something that has got a identity of its own.

    A very original game, the concept is never done before. Controls are mapped very well for PC. the story mode is somewhat short. Combat isA very original game, the concept is never done before. Controls are mapped very well for PC. the story mode is somewhat short. Combat is surprisingly well designed. the adrenaline kicks in during the levels that you are being chased. the 9 score is because of the one level that required climbing a tall building that is under construction because it lacked any motivation. also some of the jumps are hard to figure out so i ended up looking them up on youtube… Expand

It has some issues with grabbing edges or drain poles.. and it is incredibly hard to complete without dying at least 50 times. It's a very challenging game. I can relate to how people can give it a negative score, in fact if I were to have reviewed it after the first hour of game play I would give it a 2. This game does grow on you. Once you get used to it it will be a very enjoyable game.… Expand

    Interesting concept for a game, but I cannot give anything but a bad score to a game that implements PhysX so thoroughly into the engine thatInteresting concept for a game, but I cannot give anything but a bad score to a game that implements PhysX so thoroughly into the engine that - if you have an AMD video card- your FPS drops to an unplayable 5 or 10 frames a second. So you can either turn PhysX off which does impact the game negatively or... you can buy and install a NVIDIA graphics card for literally one game? No bueno, guys, this wasn't good enough when it came out and it still isn't good enough now. 'Stuck' glitches upon completed some jumps, and a 'trial and error' approach to level design that is only forgivable because the checkpoint system is good. This game is a lesson in frustration.… Expand
