Mirror's Edge could be described as this: a platformer With shooting elements. This game is good, but not great, it seems a little out of Place for a platformer here's why.
Set in the future, the story follows Faith, a very good freerunner who Works for the Runners who delivers bags and do Dangerous building jumps and parkour, but when Faith's sister gets kidnapped, it's up to Faith to save her before Faith gets killed by the Blues, a evil Corporation of police officers, on search to stop Faith from saving her sister.
The game is a first-person 3d platformer which focuses on the discipline of parkour, you use Faith's acrobatics to get to point A to point B. The combat is a mix between shooting and mêlée, the combat is awful, the shooting is very shallow, With AI being so ludicrous it pisses me straight to hell.
The platforming is good With a few issues, the Control Works but the design is the worst, it's a tough but shallow design Choices they've gotten to this game. The game biggest issue is the length, it's a short game taking roughly a few hours to Complete.
Mirror's Edge is a good but flawed game, it's story, length, combat and design is horrible, but animations, parkour and uniqueness makes this a game Worth buying.
7/10
