Mirror's Edge

By Will Smith

Here's the thing about Mirror's Edge: It's 85 percent awesome, and we're as surprised as anyone that the part that's awesome is the first-person parkour. The running, jumping, and climbing bits are utterly engaging and even transcendent. There's ...

Running, jumping, and climbing across rooftops is glorious! Awesome art direction

We'd like the game much more without the sucky melee combat

And then you go inside. Moving into an office building or a sewer cuts down on the number of potential paths, but even that's not so bad. The game really falls apart when you stop running from the cops-as an early loading screen tip advises you-and ...

Mirror's Edge

A refreshing take on the first-person adventure platform, but frustrating controls are a disappointment

Overall: Stylish and slickly constructed, but with mediocre action scenes and too many frustrating indoor sequences

Mirror's Edge Review

By Steven Williamson

By using the increasingly popular free-running activity of Parkour as its theme and mixing it with a story of murder and intrigue, EA's DICE Studio certainly deserves credit for thinking outside of the conventional box. Despite some thrills along the ...

Visually stimulating ; Simple, but fun to execute free-running moves

Combat is useless ; Enemies constantly on your tail gets annoying ; Interior locations - bland level design

Mirror's Edge is both unique and stimulating, but it rapidly loses momentum after a great start.

Mirror's Edge Review - PS3

By Kevin VanOrd

mirror's edge review: Mirror's Edge offers occasional thrills, provided you can get past some awkward stumbles.

Flawless runs provide a total rush, Clean and striking visual design, Fantastic sound effects and music

Frustrating amount of trial and error, Cramped jumping puzzles trip up the momentum, Combat and gunplay are weak

Mirror's Edge offers occasional thrills, provided you can get past some awkward stumbles.

Like its heroine, Faith, Mirror's Edge tries to hurdle some significant obstacles, but unlike Faith, it can't always make the leap. But unlike its ancestors, Mirror's Edge is more about speed and momentum, and when you can connect your moves in a...

Mirror's Edge Review - Gaming Reviews

By Stuart Andrews

If you like the idea of free-running but don't have the level of fitness or the nerve, Mirror's Edge could help you live your dream.

Here's the real Mirror's Edge challenge: just play through a single level without leaning or squirming in your seat. Even though the limbs I see flailing before me are obviously those of a young, street punk woman, there's something about the...

Mirror's Edge

By Luke

Super Mario probably in the eighties an Asian gymnast geschwängert have. And the shoot now gets its own game

The bottom line is Mirror's Edge with about five hours pretty short, but very good and highly innovative game. Buy !

Mirror's Edge

By Stefan Brauner

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

The scale is in terms of physics engine, and the length of the season a little low, but agrees to the gameplay. The player is experiencing ups and downs with despair by the many failed attempts and a lot of fun. The race through the game world with the go...

Mirror's Edge Test

By nio

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

Mirror's Edge to evaluate many certainly will not be easy. On the one hand one wants to play regularly because of its occurring "Trial & Error" sections curse, only to always anew in the coherent setting and the exciting events to find l...
