Mirror’s Edge

"Mirror's Edge offers occasional thrills, provided that you can look past some awkward stumbles."

"There's a distinctive flow and rhythm to DICE's Mirror's Edge, letting you bound across obstacle courses with seemingly inhuman strength and agility."

"It's not without its problems, but when Mirror's Edge leaps, it soars."

"There's something broken thematically, deep within Mirror's Edge: it tells you a rambling story about freedom even as it confines you to the tight squares of its own personal hopscotch court, and for many that will be one wrong-footing too many. But for those who can shrug off the contradictions and the limitations, ignore the tearing cityscape and lingering qualms about value for money, this will shove you so deeply into the experience of being in someone else's body, and taking it on a terrifying, breakneck joyride, that nothing else will matter."

"The concept of Mirror’s Edge is appealing, but, unfortunately, the execution just wasn’t there for me. I’ll end this review just as I ended the one I wrote for Assassin’s Creed (though with the names changed for obvious reasons): I’m optimistic for Mirror’s Edge 2, though I really wanted to be satisfied by Mirror’s Edge 1."
