GAME: Mirror's Edge

Man, everything about this game looked awesome. The demo was fun, the trailer was great, and I heard some great things about it. And then I played it.



I can't really say it's a bad game, because it is fun. But it was just a really, really big disappointment. I mean, running around was fun, but right when it began getting really good, the police showed up. And that really ruined the fun. It's like the game focused everything on graphics and running, but forgot that they had combat involved in the game so they put in something really last minute. The game said the best thing is too just run away from fighting, but you are literally put in the position where you NEED to fight, or you're going to get shot down. Which happened a lot to me. It gets frustrating.

One thing that was impressive though was the graphics. Graphics never make a game, and here is no exception, but they were good. And the music was great also, it was all fit to the scenes, and it worked.

The story was alright though. I mean, it's not memorable, and at times it's confusing and poorly executed. The characters in the game were just really plain and boring. I felt like I didn't really care about them.

Overall, I would give it a 6.5
Pros: Fun running, great graphics, and awesome cutscenes
Cons: Bad combat, annoying police, boring characters, and poor story.
