A Whole New Type of Platforming. Worth the money? Yes.
User Rating: 9 | Mirror's Edge PS3
Mirror's Edge was a new type of first person game. No, it was not a first person SHOOTER, but it did have guns every now and then. This was a First-Person-Platformer, in a way. You play as Faith, a runner. You use mainly the shoulder buttons to play, and the gameplay itself is fun. Some things about it though, is that while you have the thrill of performing tons of acrobatic tricks one after the other, you will feel quite a slow down at some puzzle solving parts that I feel were quite unnescessary. The games story is also quite a mess, and some parts just leave you saying, "Huh?". There are also some puzzle solving and platforming moments that leave you frustrated. They also decided to do the cutscenes in this anime type of style. They could have done regular 3-d cutscenes, but I guess the 2-d ones were O.K.
Pros
--------
* Fun
* Good Gameplay
* Feeling the awesomeness of landing a high jump is awesome
* Good Puzzles, if unnescessary
* O.K. Action
Cons
---------
* The story is more messy than a little kids room
* The Puzzles were unnescessary, and slowed down gameplay
* Multiplayer/Online isn't even multiplayer
* Weird choice of cutscenes
* Frustrating moments
All in all, Mirror's Edge is pretty good. The online is fun to do (it's all acrobatics) and the gameplay is fun. I won't reccomend it because there will be split opinions on this game.
