Product Description

Imagine a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. Mirror's Edge introduces you to Faith, a "runner" in this world. When Faith's sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law.

Mirror's Edge delivers you straight into the shoes of this modern day heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat, fast-paced chases and challenging puzzles. With a never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, you are drawn into Faith's world.

Awesome Game, Hampered By Length
I loved all of the trailers for Mirror's Edge - a truly original game, a nice change from all the FPSs that have been flying around.

I instantly took the game, and got sucked into the gameplay - which is frenetic. Gorgeous graphics, the sound is so atmospheric, and the gameplay is superlative.

The only drawback is its length. I finished the game in only two sittings - perhaps about 6 hours.

Some decent replay value with the time trials.

Amazing, innovative experience :]
99% of the people who dislike this game dislike it because of the learning curve, it takes awhile to get used to, but once you do, it is amazing and deserves to be treated as such.

Brilliant, but a bit short
I love this game! The graphics, the sound, the feel and first person viewpoint make this the single most immersive video game I have ever played. Unfortunately, the game itself is rather short in comparison to some others -- even shorter if you're better at it. You will have to enjoy replaying certain levels to and time trials really get the most entertainment time out of it. Still, I do not regret purchasing this game.

I recommend playing the demo first to see if you enjoy the style and feel of it.
