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.
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.
If you love minimal but artistically great level design in an urban setting, you are gonna love this game.
The music is great too. Good electronix music from Swedish artist Solar Fields. The story is a bit basic, and has very clear twists. The whole story can be played in about 5-6 hours. Finding all the extras can take a lot more. In my eyes it is a classic. The Prequel/Sequel Mirrors Edge Catalyst takes things even further.
Whole-heartedly recommend this game.
The first few levels of Mirror's Edge are some of the most fun I have had in a video game bringing me back to the early Sonic games. Running through a large city roofscape having to think fast as you try and find the quickest routs. This all comes to an abrupt end one third of the way thorough the game as it switches from a parkour race through massive obstacle course to generic FPS, gone are the roofscapes with multiple routs and options replaced with tight corridors and waves of bad guys (city police) for you to gun down and a bland unimaginative story line.
I give this game 3 stars as I did have a lot of fun with the first few levels, the game mechanics and controls run very well and it is quite pretty. Unfortunately what makes this game fun and unique is in a minority and I could not recommend it.
This game is i think the best parkour game ever made !
The story is well written, your sister is accused of a murder she didn’t committed and you’ll have to find who actually did it and rescue her.
The story is more depth than that and i think you’ll love it for sure.
For the gameplay, you’re in a first person view and you’ll need to climb roofs to get to the objective since you can’t just walk on the street cause the runners are targeted by the authorities.
The controls are extremely good so you can have a full control of what you’re doing.
You can do wall jumps and stuff, you got it :)
The fightings are also well made, you’ll have to right click when you ennemie is attacking in melee with his gun to take it or knock im out with high kick and stuff.
The graphics, lighting, level design, Ambiance, i think for that time it came out, it’s speechless.
How did they do ? I don’t think any game relased in that period was as beautiful as Mirror’s Edge.
Maybe « Remember Me » can’t compete i don’t know, it’s unical.
I don’t want to say it’s perfect that no game game reach that quality of course but it’s seems to be close, or im blind ? But i don’t think I’m blind... i am ?
SOLAR FIELDS, oh god how that men made the half of the game’s feelings and ambiance, after finishing the whole game a couple of times, maybe more than 10, i can’t even imagine Mirror’s Edge without his music, it match so good with that game, it’s like DICE knew exactly who to choose !
I think i said all what i think about that game, maybe i’ll add more in the future, i used to do that when i find new things to say for a game so.
Yeah it worth buying, but please if you play it don’t buy it just to have an action game where you shoot people and stuff, it’s more than that.
You can download some mods and custom map after finishing it if you want, or beat the trials.
Or just do parkour, chilling with the ambiant music with a headset like i do :)
This story about girl who's name is Faith,
Parkour is her weapon and it is her fate.
She doesn't afraid of hurt her nails and bones,
But if you fall down you'll breake them both,
Crunch and thunder of body is that you'll hear -
Developers tried to make you feel that it's real.
The whistle in ears, fantastic jumps over roofs,
Sometimes it's not easy to find the right routes.
But if you're a pro, don't try to kill all,
Because the escape is the best way to solve
All problems in game, the story is clear.
So I recommend you spend hours here,
Not much, but breathtaking with heartbeat sincere.
When other games try to be minimalistic, they failed.
Mirrors Edge achieves a minimalist art style that is so purposeful and refreshing.
And it ties in with the story. As a runner you focus on how to parkour your way from A to B.
The visuals are scaled back and tastefully realistic, while still providing a unique viewpoint.
The successor to this game tries to wow you with futuristic vistas and graphics.
Mirrors Edge 1 just feels more realistic and visceral.
On top of that, the music is perfect! It ranges from tranquil and soothing, to intense and powerful.
The game can be played in 6-10hours. But it is highly rewarding to look for hidden bags that unlock artwork.
Can highly recommend this game.
