Mirror's Edge


It’s ambitious in a multitude of ways, both in making a platformer from a first-person perspective and in its implementation of free running. It’s really, really good and you should play it, but damn, it could have been superb.

The early levels of Mirror’s Edge are the ones that best communicate the joys of the game, because they’re the ones that best deliver the free-running dream. That is: you, in an urban environment, gracefully inventing your own path from point Here to point Over There. You hop over fences, slide under pipes, run along walls, rebound off buildings and vault from ledges – all of it ideally without breaking stride and all of it from a first-person perspective. ...

Oy, Persia. Get out of it. Croft, skedaddle. All you acrobatic platforming types are all the same. Born with a silver spoon jammed right in your faces, and snooping around dusty, sandy levels like some kind of tourist. The heroine of Mirror’s Edge is called Faith, and her world is a long sprint away from filth and privilege. ...   » Read Full Mirror's Edge preview

Lose the gun. Now your body is the weapon

You enter a room. Four heavily armed agents whip around, focusing their sights on you instantly. They're going to shoot any second now, unless you react quickly. What do you do? In the majority of shooters - the majority of games in general, really - the answer would be simple. You shoot back. Mirror's Edge is different. You can't fight back... not in the usual way. So what do you do? ...   » Read Full Mirror's Edge preview

In Mirror’s Edge, you play as Faith, an acrobatic gunslinger hell-bent on beating the city’s forces in as stylish a way as possible using the entire city as your playground. There are no restrictions - you can go anywhere. Fences and walls are there to be jumped over. The city is pristine and clean-looking, with a real sense of underlying menace. From what we’ve seen, it looks a little like Neo’s ‘virtual’ ...   » Read Full Mirror's Edge preview
