Pros

An amazing-looking core experience (for the most part) that provides an exhilarating rush and lots of replay value.
Flawless runs provide a total rush.
Clean, striking visual design.
Fantastic sound effects and music.

Cons

Poor PC controls.
Screen-tearing.
Clunky combat.
Animated cut-scenes are jarring.
Plot takes backseat to action.
Might feel too short.
Frustrating amount of trial and error.
Cramped jumping puzzles trip up the momentum.
Combat and gunplay are weak.

These two words define one of last year’s most innovative titles, Mirror’s Edge. I am a huge fan of first person perceptive titles and the occasional third person titles. Every once in a while a title comes around that changes the way that...

Mirror’s Edge delivers a solid performance for its first attempt but it wobbles in some parts. The game can be infuriating at times due to trial and error. Too much is asked of Faith. She’s a Runner but the game treats her like an 80’s...

Mirror's Edge PC is a direct port of the console game, and my thoughts are right in line with Brian's as far as the overall game goes (Click Here for that review). The levels are hindered by lack of direction causing lots of poor decisions being...
