Mirrors Edge Review

In the game mirrors edge you are controlling a woman named fath, in a first person perspective you are challenged to go across the city by running across walls, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and get inside a building using the air vents.

 The movements of the game was based on parkour  where you try to navigate various obstacles. Her main objective is to deliver messages around the city.

"But that’s the first thing to make clear: Mirror’s Edge really works. It actually feels like you’re running – or jumping, or shimmying, or skidding. This game’s closest relations, in terms of ideas, are probably Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider, both of which give you an easy time keeping in touch with the position of your character because you can always see them. The crucial thing with Mirror’s Edge’s leap from third to first person is that you maintain that sense of which bits of you are where, thanks to the motion of the screen and the way arms and legs occasionally cross your vision – and therefore you know what to do with them next."
