A unique experience

Very good game, unique, there's nothing else like it out there. I loved the parkour gameplay, the art, the music and the main character's design. The graphics are great. The story isn't that good but that's not important in this type of game. Most criticisms are directed to the short length of the game and the combat mechanics. I didn't find it too short actually, because I think a gameplay focused on parkour can't really give more than 10 hours (I finished the game in around 13 hours) without getting repetitive. The combat is... clumsy but I think it's really hard to get the balance right with the first game of this type (focused on parkour in first person perspective), a type of game in which you want combat to actually be like the last resort and something you should avoid most of the time.

This game like few others houses an absolutely beatiful city, and also actually let's you go to town on it with your running shoes. It's fun to parkour around the city and it's mostly easy to find where to go thank's to clever design. It's however a cult-classic for a reason, it's short length and rough but distinctly stylized animated cut-scenes that remind me of old cartoons like Kim Possible. If you can dig that, cool, if not, try the sequel instead. Because this game feels kinda like a tech-demo of a game that was never fully realised.

Fun game, something different

It's a fun game, its something different. Its $5 on sale during the winter sale. Sad it took me this long to get around and consider playing it. I haven't played a DICE game since BF2. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the parkour. Have patience, its trial and error. If you have the levels memorized, try again and do it faster. Don't worry about plot or story. Most people play for the unique mechanics. Graphically, it does show its age but holds up. Even a potato can play this.

Textbook Level Design

Visual enjoyment and smooth operation. The whole process is fun on the whole, except for some difficulties in individual levels. There is more than one way to pass the level, and you can buy it when you recommend a discount. The process is not long, and it is worth playing.

Unique is an understatement

Mirrors edge is an experience. Indeed a very short one, but really memorable. I have returned to it multiple times and it has never failed to deliver. The controls are spot-on and you really feel the rush of the game. The graphics still look great and the art style is superb.
