Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Imagine a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. Mirror's Edge introduces you to Faith, a "runner" in this world. When Faith's sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law. Mirror's Edge delivers you straight into the shoes of this modern day heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat, fast-paced chases and challenging puzzles. With a never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, you are drawn into Faith's world.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Brilliant, but a bit short
I love this game! The graphics, the sound, the feel and first person viewpoint make this the single most immersive video game I have ever played. Unfortunately, the game itself is rather short in comparison to some others -- even shorter if you're better at it. You will have to enjoy replaying certain levels to and time trials really get the most entertainment time out of it. Still, I do not regret purchasing this game.

I recommend playing the demo first to see if you enjoy the style and feel of it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice Game, Something New
Overall I had a good time with this game. Though short, approx 5 - 7 hours, it was still satisfying.

It was a new style of game, like something I hadn't played in years which was nice ecspecially coming from a company like EA.

I recommend playing the game on easy. At the higher difficulties the guards can be pretty tough (understatement) and considering the guards are more of an necessary annoyance then an integral part of the gameplay it doesn't take away from the experience playing it on an easier setting.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EA is just keepin' the hits coming.....
I loved Mirror's Edge from the first time I seen the commercial..... And when I got the game I was blown away by the graphics, the story and the fun factor actually had me want to earn all the trophies..... If you get this game Ihope you don't have any heart conditions because the jumping from building to building will have you on the edge of your seat....... 5 out of 5



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Original, visually striking, great music, nice mechanics....but too frustrating to be for anyone but the most polished gamers
I am a game lover. My wife and I play games together constantly. We are solid gamers, each of us able to polish off most games on the "normal" setting pretty easily. We are not spectacular players, we are not honed machines of video game grace. But we play for hours every week and have done so for years, so we are not newbies by any stretch of the imagination; please take my complaints about this game with that in mind--if you are a polished videogame diety, then you will have less trouble than we did. If you are a newbie, well then, pay extra attention--this game's fun quotient (which is very high at times) is seriously hampered by its bizarre controls and frustrating requirements.

This is a visually arresting game--the style is clean and modern, beautiful to look at. It ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mirrors Edge Review
First off, if you have a Xbox360 or PS3 hooked up to the internet then do yourself a favor and download the demo.

This game is done like most shooters in the 1st person. But this game is primarily not a shooter. DICE decided to change it up a little and actually make a game in 1st person mode that required more than just killing things.

You play as a 'runner' and I'll just leave it at that as I hate divulging too much plot. The aim is basically to get from point A to B as fast as you can. The game eases you in slowly and as you play more you realize that there are multiple ways to get places and to handle enemies.

Overall the game is solid. Looks good, plays good, sounds good. The main complaints would be the graphics, not that they are bad but the setting ... Read More
