Mirror's Edge
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 11, 2008
In a futuristic totalitarian dystopia, a master courier (in a group of renegade "runners") investigates a conspiracy, while outrunning the deadly government military, in this parkour-inspired first-person action game.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like Mirror's Edge ?
8, would've been a ten but the ending was really dissatisfying. I love everything about the game, it's just that ending... to abrupt, to simple.
I played the game going for the achievement that forbid you from firing a gun. This turned the combat sections more into a puzzle game than a shooter. That made the game far more enjoyable than I imagine it would have been had I been 'shoot'n dudes'. The game still had its issues--despite not shooting guns there was still too much of a focus on combat--but it had an amazing style and fluid control. I gave it an eight.
9. I thought ME was a fantastic game. Yes I know it had quite a lot of bad points but for me I had a great time playing it and really wish DICE would make another one.
" @bonorbitz said:I just read that and ouch. I didn't catch that 'til now. It's too bad they didn't get the chance to improve on ME1." @Ahmad_Metallic said:yeah it is.. check out the ME news and you'll see the articles. project is dead right now "" well with the recent sad news about ME2 getting shut down..."Is this official? I thought I heard that there's a super small team working on it in some form and that it's not totally done for... "
I give it a 7. I really like the gameplay, the asthetic, and even the story was somewhat interesting. Though some of the later levels where you can't figure out where to go or have to dodge groups of swat teams really bring down the experience.
I wish DICE was permitted to make a sequel because they had a lot of great ideas that could deffinatly be improved upon.
What qualifies as bad sales? ME sold over 2 million units. I think EA is just afraid of investing in anything that isn't Madden.
I reviewed it on this site and gave it a 3/5 (by the way; http://www.giantbomb.com/mirrors-edge/61-21213/user-reviews/?review_id=18172. Yep, I'm plugging that shit).
It's a fun game that I liked more in concept then in execution. There are a lot of flaws with that game but when it is good it is really good.
