Mirror's Edge

Finding yourself jumping across buildings, across narrow beams and escaping gunfire is what this game is about. Your name is Faith and you are a Runner. Moving information about in the best way possible... running full tilt across skyscrapers!

The game is pretty intense, you need quick thinking and an ability to remember which key does what.
Most of the time you will find yourself either figuring out big puzzles slowly (and dying a lot), or figuring out a lot of minor puzzles VERY quickly (and dying a lot).

Graphics are good the Physics engine takes a bit to run (crashed my game EVERYTIME I used it) so if you are running an alright PC turn it off (in game menu) or you won't be able to play the game. Everything else is great.

I didn't give this game five stars because all games have minor flaws, and some things like - being a little repetitive and sometimes missing grasp points for no apparent reason, gets a little annoying.

Overall a good game worth playing.

This is a cool game, with first person action perspective. It takes you into a futuristic fringe world of parkour, and that sort of escapism is always good. I'm used to point and click adventure, so I find lots of keyboard controls quite hard to get used to.

This is a brilliant game. Fantastic graphics and fast paced action. Incredibly exciting in the 1st person. All looks amazing and sounds great as well. A fantastic game. Great value for money. you must get a copy.

Very cool game, love the emphasis on running rather than combat, makes for a totally different feel to the whole game.
Ran this on my laptop which handled it pretty well considering, but noticed sometimes it would be a little laggy (obviously laptop gpu's don't quite cut it). Sounds are nice, but overall pretty unimportant in this game. Industrail landscapes are made with minimalist colours so that you can focus on the bright red indications for where to go, but didn't detract from the fact the graphics are great. The in-game story is also pretty solid and makes each "chapter" more compelling, as it gets somewhat harder. One thing that is bugging me is that too often jumping from one ledge to another can be hit and miss, so as my summary says - try, try again. If this hadn't frustrated me quite as much, I would have given it a 5 star rating.
Probably not worth the full price of $70, but a great twist on your typical First-person viewed games, in a similar way that Portal was.

I've always wanted to try out Mirror's Edge, after seeing it in one of the daily deals I decided to grab it. Very interesting single player parkour, I would definitely play the sequel when it comes out.
