Beyond the Edge

Mirrors edge is a fast paced, parkour simulation, first person platform game with genre bending game play. The world is a mix of literature like 1984 and the world of films like Hackers. It has a somewhat cyber-punk setting that isn't too far from the world we live in today. However, what's really fantastic about this game is the action. The action is intense. Not to many games have made my heart pump the way this game does, nor has it made me really feel for the protagonist as she plummets to her death from a failed jump. Mirrors Edge will test your reflexes and your thinking with puzzling jumps. Sometimes escaping a situation is about creativity and less about fighting your way through an event. On an end note, Mirrors edge presents one of the most interesting and inspiring female video game characters since Jade from Beyond Good and Evil. She wears realistic clothes that seem appropriate for her character and action, is tough, but does not rely on masculine characteristics and looks awesome. A definite plus for this refreshing heroine. I am looking forward to the Catalyst.

I really enjoyed the gameplay but wasn't a fan of the art style of the cut scenes. Other than that 5 stars!

This was one of my favorite games all-time & my friend borrowed it & lost it. So to be able to get a pre-owned copy that works just fine for this price was great.

Surprisingly this is one of the most linear games I've ever played. Despite being in a beautiful and seemingly dynamic city, you really only have one way to go. I really wish they made some side missions or something (rescue a person, deliver a package, etc.) which would have added far more depth to the game.
