Mirror's Edge is a fresh, exhilarating ride.
User Rating: 10 | Mirror's Edge PS3
Mirror's Edge succeeds with its soaring acrobatics, challenging indoor platforming, and tense combat. Once you get the hang of how the game plays and take a few speed runs through the stages, you'll be flying across buildings and leaping from ledge to ledge. The trial and error game-play only really makes you look around for better routes, and frequent checkpoints allow you to continue on your way without lengthy retries. When indoors, looking around to find pathways to the bottom or top challenge you to observe your surroundings. To help you get around, some objects have a red outline. The red outlines help out in tense situations and larger areas, and I like that they were not overused. Since the main character, Faith, is vulnerable, combat requires a few strategies such as hiding behind walls, jump-kicking foes, and disarming them when they are stunned. It provides a thrilling challenge. Although Mirror's Edge is short, this exciting first-person plat-former deserves a play.
