Wow. After around 2-4 days after beating Mirror's Edge I'm gonna write this review (yeah, I know I'm late) so let me just get this out of the way. Mirror's Edge is NOT and I repeat NOT a fucking FPS, don't call it one as it isn't fair to call it such.
But onto the review.
Now the story is pretty simple, your Faith a 'Runner' which is pretty much a person who uses their athletic to transport secret documents, files anything of the sort in a world controlled by the goverment. A crime has now been commited and you we're at the scene, time to do the number one thing you learned. Run.
See, simple. It's not the best story ever but I've seen much, much worse. Plus, it gets bigger and better.
Now onto graphics, I just gotta say if you like awesome graphics in games, this game will not disappoint you, period. The graphics in some places might be overused a bit (such as in some parts the white buildings are WAY too bright or sometimes it's too dark to see anything) but if you can get used to some of the graphics error's, they are beautiful.
Ok, sound time. I don't even need to get into detail do I? The sound in this game soundtrack wise is beautiful and new. Something rare in the gaming world. If you haven't heard the soundtrack, watch some gameplay videos and do some looking around. You'll find a ton of remixes of the song "Still Alive"(NO, NOT JOHNATHON COLTON'S STILL ALIVE) by the very talented, Lisa Miskovsky as well as remixes from Alcorus, Paul van Dyk and other popular international artists. Now I will say that the gun sounds might sound like they've been used from other games but oh well, they don't sound that bad.
Gameplay time guys.
Now this game is so much fun gameplay wise, somethings might annoy you due to LOTS of trial & error in the game, a sometimes over the top challenge for some of the achievements and trophy's in the game but if you can get used to those things, you'll have a great time. As well as the time trial modes and speed-run modes being a hell of a time due to being able to try and beat that one friends time being oh so satisfying.
Overall scores.
Story 7.5/10
Graphics - 8.5/10.
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 9/10
Now for my rating on what you should do if you find a copy of this game, I say rent it first to see if you like it, and if you like it. Think about buying it as it's a great addition to to your gaming collection.
Thanks for reading!
