Buy Mirror's Edge™

I have just finished the story mode and I gotta say I enjoyed my time. It's my first game of this kind so let me make a quick review.
+ graphics
For an older game, the graphics was just amazing and I caught myself just standing for a while admiring it, graphics is 10/10 in this game.
+ story
Even though on the beginning it doesn't "pull you in", gradually the story gets better and by the end of the game I was truly invested into the story, wasn't too original, just normal stuff.
+ music
Doesn't matter if you're fighting, exploring around or trying to figure out how to get on that ledge, the music is always amazing and fits the situation, it makes the experience better.
+ gameplay
Everything seems so fluid, your reactions have to be quick and when you're trying to escape "Blues" your heart starts racing, I wasn't able to put this game down until it was finished.
+ content
After you finish the story, you can go complete timed runs and work on your skills, compare yourself to others.
- shortness of game
Despite not having watched any kind of guides and spending long time figuring things out, this game took me 7 hours to complete, which is fairly shot in my opinion.
- enemies AI
I think a blindfolded monkey would hit me more often than enemies in this game, except for maybe last 2 chapters, I could run around in circles and not a single bullet landed, fun stuff (normal mode).
- combat
It just didn't feel right for me, not being able to see health nor ammo, making it just hit'n'run at times, I loved my time when I could just run around, not escaping bullets.

All in all, this game is still worth playing, as the pros outweigh the cons by a lot, I'd surely recommend this game to anyone, 7/10.

Pros:
-Fluid parkour
-Focuses on parkour and running rather than killing literally everything
-Beautiful soundtrack

Cons:
-Character sometimes refuses to grab ledges
-Shallow plot
-Absolutely overpowered enemies in last chapter (Like why tell you to run from your problems in the beginning when you're just going to be put up against a six person SWAT team that you can't pass without killing in the final room?)

7/10 - Could have been better, but could have been way worse.

A game for people who wish they could do the stunts they see on YouTube.

-Stunning graphics for a 2009 game, especially the models. Everything you look at is beautiful, especially the environments.
-Very fun parkour system(with a learning curve), that makes you want to come back for more. By far the highlight of this game, you can do a variety of different parkour moves that tie together smoothly and fluidly.
-Great soundtrack that perfectly captures the modern/sci-fi world of Mirror's Edge.
-Interesting level design that captures the creativity to do parkour.
-The mechanics itself feel realistic. There were few times that it felt as though I shouldn't have survived something or shouldn't have been able to jump that far. And in places where I don't survive, it makes sense. A young woman in nothing but a tanktop and sweatpants wouldn't be able to survive 3 point blank headshots from an automatic weapon.

-textures show flaw at times, but on very few objects
-Campaign that falls flat. This is the biggest gripe with this game that I have. I didn't feel invested in many of the characters, and I only wanted to go through the story because the parkour itself was fun, and the ending was very disappointing. I particularly didn't enjoy the animated cutscenes, but that's simply personal preference.
-The game fluctuates from rather simple to extremely difficult. I turned off "runner vision", which lets you see what objects to run/jump/climb onto next, and at times I didn't think it would've been possible to do WITH runner vision.
-The combat felt extremely clunky, and in the late game, AI could kill you extremely fast. At least an hour of my 7-hour run through of the game was spent redoing combat sections because the AI killed me too damn fast and I didn't know how to go about the situation.
-Fair share of bugs. Nothing much.

An experimental, revolutionary game that takes the art of parkour and implements it perfectly into a game's setting. It's innovations pay off with stunning visuals, fun mechanics, and an immersive, beautiful atmosphere. This game is a cult classic that should be played before you die. However, don't expect much from story, and prepare to be frustrated at various aspects of the game.

7 out of 10. Great game

In my opinion, this is one of the few games that EA did not ruin. Mirror's Edge to me is a unique title that gave me a breath of fresh, clean air while being in the comfort of my room. I say this because this game's graphics and quality are amazing for the year it came out not to mention it could easily compete with some game graphics today.

I've played through Mirror's Edge three times and always find it equally challanging and exciting. Parkour games like Mirror's Edge can definitely have replay value as the game has difficulty settings that will make your Parkour experience much more difficult and a lot more real.

I do recommend this game to anyone who is considering to purchase this title.

9/10.

Mirror's Edge is a First Person Parcour Shooter... thingy.. I guess?

You're playing the role of Faith, a girl having lost her parents and having only her sister left. She meets Merc, the head of the gang or organisation called the "Runners". He trains her in the art of.. well.. running, and using the rooftops of the city to their advantage. Essentially they are what one could call delivery people (don't quote me on that, I played it early morning so I don't remember much of the beginning).

After a short parcour and CQC tutorial you're being thrown right into the game, the only help you get is the so called "Runner's Vision" giving you hints on where to go. Even with this help I was sometimes struggling to find the correct pathway, even though the levels are mostly linear, only giving you no more than a few ways from one area to the next.

Personally I really enjoyed the game. My only problem was incredible FPS drops in areas with shattered glas or when I've been shot at. To fix this you have to delete a folder and two files from the game files because those are outdated drivers which EA included for some ♥♥♥♥ing stupid reason.

Anyway, you should really give this classic a try because even on the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥ computers (my laptop is from 2011) you can play this game on maximum settings and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Not playing Mirror's Edge is like not seeing The Mona Lisa.
You hear its art. And when you see it in snapshots and images and stuff you can't really see why; its just another game/painting. Nothing special.
Then you sit down with it. Have a drink. Play it, admire it. Whatever.
Then you realize it could have been way better—like, WAY better—but for a piece of crap made in 2009 or 1503, its really something.

It's not the best of its kind, nor its year, but it sure as hell is fun to look at is my point.

Story is very short, but it offers a good action, jumping and running here and there

I have spent my time playing this game, and tbh i liked it alot!

GOOD GAME
the graphics aren't as good as expected but overall a good, enjoyable game

a really good game the thing with this game is it is short
it can be completed in 1 evening if played correctly
but it was worth it!
9.5/10 because it was short but that was it!
