Machogames: Fall To Your Death In Style In Mirror's Edge

There is a new way to view first person games. EA’s Mirror’s Edge is somewhat of a first person shooter, but mostly it is a first person runner, a setup that allows the player to experience this game genre in a whole new way.

Developer DICE has put everything on the line in this one, and they won’t be disappointed at the outcome. It has a unique feel to everything, including the first-person shooting, which is not the best aspect of the game by any means.

Mirror’s Edge starts out as any EA game does, with a tutorial introducing you to the city. You quickly learn the buttons and what you can do with your parkour powers. You are smoothly introduced into the life of Faith, a tough girl who grew up watching her parents become rebels trying to stop the city’s shift to oppressive control. Although “few even remember the bad old days” you can easily tell of the corruption when the cops start opening fire along with the insane advertisements throughout the single player that warn of children turning into runners. Now come on, who doesn’t want to run around as a sexy Asian chick jumping from rooftop to rooftop, even crouching down in order to hit cops in the privates.

Mirror’s Edge has one of the most addictive game play since Grand Theft Auto IV. Remember when you wanted to run up to a parked car, break the window and speed off with the stolen goods? Well, after playing this game for a couple of hours you will start to notice everything red you see in your peripherals in real life, also thinking of ways to reach them. Throughout Mirror’s Edge you need to jump obstacles and hurdle over gaps looking for either red jumps or red doors. Even the hint button for the XBOX 360 is the red B button. Honestly, how much red must there be in a single game?

It is widely known that no gamer can just go outside and start “parkouring.” So this game brings all the thrills of doing that activity to the player’s plate. The first time I fell to my death I actually got the excitement in my mind of free falling hundreds of feet. But, falling to my death more than once is enough. And you are anything but 50 Cent as you soon realize you can only take about seven bullets until you faint. Also, the guns are not as great as going up to a cop and knocking his lights out. Still, every game must have it’s flaws so I would highly recommend this game to anyone who liked playing games that resemble Assassin’s Creed. Just be prepared to have a lot of free falls, and understand the meaning of all rice, and no meat.

Mirror’s Edge is available for XBOX 360, Playstation 3 and the PC. $60 for the console version, $50 for the PC.
