Description

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 are being hunted.

You are a Runner called Faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story. 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.

Features:
  • Move yourself: String together an amazing arsenal of wall-runs, leaps, vaults and more, in fluid, acrobatic movements that turns every level of the urban environment to your advantage and salvation.
  • Immerse yourself: In first person every breath, every collision, every impact is acutely felt. Heights create real vertigo, movements flow naturally, collisions and bullet impacts create genuine fear and adrenaline.
  • Challenge yourself: Fight or flight. Your speed and agility allow you not only to evade, capture and perform daring escapes, but also to disable and disarm unwary opponents, in a mix of chase, puzzles, strategy and intense combat.
  • Free Yourself: Runner vision allows you to see the city as they do. See the flow. Rooftops become pathways and conduits, opportunities and escape routes. The flow is what keeps you running - what keeps you alive.

Review by Kieran on 2nd October, 2010
3 stars "Not bad"
I found this game really good at the start, the game play is amazing but as I got further into the game the levels started to get a bit boring. It's still a good game to go back and play when ever I get bored.

Review by Allan on 31st January, 2009
4 stars "Enjoyed Start to End"
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.

4 stars "Great game"
The acrobatic style of this game is really awesome (though perhaps a little repetitive), jumping from and to objects and buildings at great speeds with a nice storyline to explain your crazy antics.

I think a good computer is a must with this game, so you can have the graphics turned up to full and enjoy the city the way it should be - the scenery amazing in this game, so take the chance to enjoy it.

4 stars "Harder than I thought it would be"
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.
