- 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.
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. From the makers of the groundbreaking 'Battlefield' franchise, Mirror's Edge is an action-adventure experience unlike any other.

Great But Short

When I saw this game advertised I was immediately interested. Conceptually they are attempting something very different, and I think it really pays off. The storyline is relatively engaging, but let's face the facts, all you really want to do is pull off some gravity defying parkour moves finishing off enemies with their own weapons.
When I started my playthrough I really couldn't stop playing, it is a really well thought out game, although my only difficulty is the overall length of the game, no more than 5 hours. I could imagine if I had gotten into the time trials this would have prolonged the experience, however I found this just a little boring once I had already played through all the missions.
I still feel this game is worth a purchase as it provides a very different experience and most certainly an enjoyable one. I will definitely play through this again.
Nothing like it!

I first borrowed this game from a friend and after 3 months I decided I should just give it back to her and buy it myself. There is simply nothing like it. I have finished the game several times and still enjoy playing it for the for the experience, theres always a new route to find. Although it's not perfect, this is one game I will keep for years to come and will come back to play just as long.
It may not be for everybody but it get a thumbs up me.
Awful...

The screenshots and videos looked impressive and the demo showcased the game quite nicely. However, when i received the finished product, I found it to be pretty terrible. Dull combat, awful weapon handling and no real sense of momentum or danger. The graphics are good, if a little boring in places. What could have been a 360 classic has become first person Sonic... and we all know how Sonic's recent games have been... Missed oppurtunity.
