In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed, and now you're being hunted. In Mirror's Edge, you are a Runner called Faith -- and this first-person action/adventure is your story. From the makers of the Battlefield franchise, Mirror's Edge for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC delivers you straight into the shoes of this heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat and fast paced chases. With a unique sense of movement and perspective, you are 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.

  • Nov. 11, 2008 Review: Mirror's Edge - 360

    Mirror's Edge reminds me a lot of another EA title, skate!, a skateboarding sim that I reviewed last year. I lauded the game for its innovation but noted that it was clearly a work in progress. Mirror's Edge suffers from the same sense of unfulfilled promise: it's a unique and fresh take on established concepts but it's obviously a sequel or two away from figuring itself out. It's a fantastic first effort, and one I definitely suggest you experience, but it's obviously just an initial step, albeit a bold one, that has the potential to ultimately result in a great leap forward.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Amazing visuals, a slick control scheme and sublime free-running gameplay combine to form a unique and fascinating game that delivers some genuine moments of "Holy crap, did I just do that?" thrills. However, some poorly designed levels, awful combat sequences, a skeletal storyline and unforgiving collision detection keeps it from soaring to greater heights. Still, it's one hell of a ride and one I definitely recommend you take.
