Kicking Face in Mirror's Edge
I recently had the opportunity to play though Mirror’s Edge for the first time — it’s a game I’d had my eye on for a while. After playing it to the end and playing around with it a little, I had mixed feelings of the whole product. Rather than review the game, however, I’d rather just go over what I felt really worked and really didn’t.
For those of you who aren’t familiar, Mirror’s Edge is a First Person Action game that is based heavily across the ideas of Parkour. Players control Faith, a ‘runner’ (someone who transports items under the radar of the Big-Brother society in the game) who ends up in the midst of a murder-conspiracy which is fingering her sister Kate. Players use Faith’s skills of martial arts and parkour to try and uncover the truth and save Kate. (more…)
