I just beat Mirror’s Edge, and it’s different than any other video game I’ve played. Although it has it’s hair pulling out moments thanks to some considerably hard jumps, the thrills when it works are worth the struggle. When your running on a rooftop and jumping from building to building, that is where the game really shines.
Here’s a youtube video so you can get the feel for the gameplay.

The storyline is good as well and I like futures like this, where it still looks like our world. Makes it more believable. So I beat it rather quickly and I guess that would be a negative in most people’s books, but Mirror’s Edge is now value priced for both your 360 and PS3 and then there is the added bonus of time trials to keep you busy. I’m surprised EA made this because it stands out as one of the most original games of last year.
And now I have discovered Mirror’s Edge 2d a sidescrolling take on the series and it’s free to play on your computer. It retains a lot of the look of the original game but since it’s 2d I don’t have to worry about motion sickness. And I think it’s the better of the two games. Excuse me while I go play it instead of working on anything important.
