Mirror's Edge™
Description
Once this city used to pulse with energy - dirty and dangerous - but alive and wonderful. Now it is something else.
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.

Live or die? Soar or plummet? One thing is certain, in this city you will learn how to run.
- 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.

Great game treated unkind in production
I loved this game. I have played it for many more hours than is necessary but I can also appreciate why it wasn't that successful. Pros: The game is still beautiful after nearly a decade. Only one or two glances at the skybox (especially in "Boat") look somewhat dated now but the rest, especially Faith's movement, look great. The stark white art style is also really intriguing. The soundtrack, sporadic as it is, is fantastic. Check out Solar Field's other work while you are at it! The core gameplay works perfectly. I remember people complaining about imprecise controls when it came out but it always felt fine on my keyboard. Cons: Reportedly some 70% of dialogue was cut. It shows. Characters are painted with the broadest brush, motives remain unclear and world building is very sketchy. It seems to be an interesting world though. There a few scenes where violence seems the only option. Sad. A lot of the game is not set on roofs but in various indoor locations... pretty sweet ones sure, but the roofs are just more fun. So it remains a great looking, great playing game where characters do weird and dangerous things for very obscure reasons in a world which is not easy to get a handle on. If you can ignore that... get to it and.. run!

God-like game
Parkour is super smooth. The game motivates you to want to replay levels to clear them faster and in a cooler way. The soundtrack is super cool to and fits the futuristic atmosphere so well. :)

If it's on sale maybe consider it
It definitely shows it's age! There's not the same polish and attention to detail that modern games have but it's not necessarily bad. Just a little rough. Some levels are poorly designed, voice acting is sub-par and some animations should have been tweeked a little. All in all, if it's on sale I don't think you'll regret buying it, but it definitely feels like an old game.

Enjoyable Experience with a Shallow Plot
PROS: Unique concept, Surprisingly well working movement controls, Interesting art style, Beautiful soundtrack (really sets the mood!), Nice funny easter eggs (some of the screens in elevators are hillarious). * CONS: The main game is rather short (on the plus side, there are Time Trial Races + Speedrun Challenges, which are fun to play and can expand the gameplay time a lot, not to mention the game itself is probably worth replaying at least once), The storytelling isn't very good (for me, it failed to explain/justify why are the Runners wanted so much by the government and the plot twists felt somehow cheap/cliche, plus it also failed to deliver a real sense of dystopian future - I would expect cops/army regularly patrolling the streets and posters/screens spreading propaganda everywhere - but you don't really get to see much of that), Some parts become a little frustrating after dying a couple of times in the same spot and trying to get through over and over again (at least the checkpoints are quite frequent, so you usually don't need to replay a long segment to get where you were) * OVERAL: Despite the fact that I listed more cons than pros, I really enjoyed playing this game and probably will play it again. (I lost patience in some of the combats and just shoot down all the enemies - but I want to try a "clean" run - without killing anybody - as well, probably in a hard mode which unlocked after completing the game, to make things little more interesting... :) ) I really liked its atmoshpere and some parts really make you feel like like you're an action hero in a movie. Just don't expect it to be a movie with great story and you won't be disappointed ;)
