DESCRIPTION

The first-ever high-def first-person platform game, Mirror's Edge is an edgy, action-driven adventure starring Faith, a skyscraper daredevil whose specialty is flips, twists, and tumbles through a 3D obstacle course of rooftops, ledges, and wires. To say that Faith takes parkour to new heights would be an understatement. It's her job to be fast and elusive, and acrobatic escapes through the highest of futuristic high-rises are all in a day's work for her.

Then again, sometimes it is better to take an opponent by surprise — disarm him, or worse, with a quick kick or flurry of punches, before making an easy escape. The game is designed to pose Faith with multiple solutions to her puzzles and predicaments, and multiple paths to a quick demise as well. A key dynamic in this stream-of-motion play style is the "flow," which gives the player visual indications of possible routes, from rooftop to rooftop and beyond. Players devise on-the-spot strategies, to evade or attack enemies and to reach for goals that can change, literally, with every leap of Faith.

Faith works as a Runner — a sort of secret, rogue courier. The city is controlled by an all-knowing government that truly wants to know all, and so the ability for one person to get a private package through to another person without the authorities taking a peek inside is highly valuable. It is also highly dangerous, involving death-defying routes to run, and the constant threat of being discovered and chased down. When her sister is framed for an assassination, however, the city becomes a lot more dangerous for Faith. No longer is she running for the job — she is running for her life. ~ T.J.

“Always wanted to play this, but I hate first person style gaming... It's just a bunch of parkour right? Hope I'm spelling that right.”

pyygy was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“As far as I know, it is. I've only played it for forty-five minutes or so, and that's all it's been so far. ”

“Probably got my dizziness and motion sickness problem to a tea eh?

Keep me posted.”

pyygy was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“Haha, that is a possibility. I don't get motion sickness playing games, so I don't have a problem with it.

And will do.”

Roxas-UrBoxas was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“Just first person with me, I can spin a camera in one direction and walk in another direction (dragon quest 8, and FFVIII VIII IX) and not be affected by the spins.

And thanks, hahaha, I wouldn't mind checking this game out, seems like it may have some serious vertigo side effects.”

strayjohno was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“Just a recommendation: It's probably better to rent this than buy it. As far as I was concerned, it was pretty good, but only for about half the game, and by the end it was just way more frustrating than challenging and entertaining. I'd say either leave it at 45 minutes, or rent it, just so when it's really annoying you a week later, you can give it back and realise you saved some money ;)”

“Sounds like the "Wet" effect...

A game I wished I rent, and didn't buy.”

pyygy was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“It's pretty inexpensive now, so you won't take a big hit if you buy it and don't like it. Especially so if you get it for PC.”

strayjohno was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“@roxas I've heard nothing but average things about Wet, so I'm far from tempted to buy it. They're mostly trying to sell it on having Eliza Dushku as the lead. That wasn't your reason for buying it, was it? ;)
@pyygy True enough, actually. Unfortunately, I bought it just after it came out. Like a moron.”

Roxas-UrBoxas was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“Bought it cause it looked like Kill Bill, giant disappointment though.”

“I didn't actually play this myself. It was played on my machine by a friend. But it was very fun to watch someone new to the game attempt it. Such a beautiful game too.”
