If you're anything like me and hate playing sequences over and over in a game because it's just too difficult, you might want to consider against buying this game from Digital Illusions. I have played it for some five levels now and i must have died or missed jumps close to 300 times at this point. The game is nothing short of frustrating, and yet, not far from brilliant in it's simplicity and design.

The only two things bothering me about Mirror's Edge are as mentioned above, the number of times you need to repeat certain parts, and also, that there are annoying loading sequences in the middle of the action. These small interruptions really break the oh-so-essential flow in the game - and once you get going, you can find a run that will really get your heart pumping.

The story so far is very interesting as you follow Faith trying to free her sister from false accusations of a murder she didn't commit.  I do love the contrast of the almost immaculate city against the dystopian big-brother government, watching and spying on its citizens. The graphics are beautiful but somewhat repetitive.

I can't help to think that Mirror's Edge would make a great television series or perhaps a feature movie.

I certainly liked the demo despite the load screens, that it required you to do the training each time, and how very short it was but I think I had more fun climbing buildings in Crackdown or even City of Heroes.

I like the demo, but it's not really something I would invest 60 bucks into right now. As laser said I had more fun climbing buildings in Crackdown. Also I'm not always the type to run from a fight.
