Wonderful gameplay and artistic vision
Being relatively new to 'new' gaming, I decided to give Mirror's Edge a try after seeing some gameplay of it a while back. I did not know that it was released back in 2009, because it does feel and look more recent. However the music, which moves between dance and ambient, makes it feel like an early 2000 game, not to mention the theme of parkour. It's a game that embodies the era in which it was made, but also transcends it. The story follows a runner called Faith Conners, who has to take down some evil such and such, because they framed her sister for murder. To be honest, the story feels more like an action movie from early 2000, which is why I like it a lot. In my opinion the story drives the game. It allows the player to jump and cling onto helicopters, jump onto moving trains, fight parkour ninjas, and generally perform awe inspiring feats that captures the imagination. Gameplay wise, I found the first person mechanics really fun to play. Essentially you need to utilise your parkour skills to find solutions in order to progress in the game. Mistakes can often set you back, or even lead to death. But you'll respawn to the nearest section that you've reached in the game, allowing you to find a solution to progress via trial and error. The game play is brash and keeps you on your toes, in which chasing is often a common theme - whether it's being chased by the police, or whether you have to chase after some anonymous parkour assailant through rooftops. Very exciting stuff. My only criticism of the game is that there are some 2 or 3 moments within the game that are poorly optimised. For the most part, the game and the way it is designed, makes it run fluidly. However there are drastic drops in frame rate when, for example, you reach a mall that is fully rendered containing some 5 swat team members gunning at you. This can test the performance of your PC. Overall a real pleasure to play. I highly recommend it.
