Promising, executed badly
With hundreds of great games out there don't waste you're time on a frustrating game that in the end only delivers 1 or 2 fun moments through the entire game.

Mirror's Edge
Well, the developers at Electronic Arts have not only successfully created a new game, but also a new genre - first person action. Like a first person shooter, players see things through the eyes of the lead character, Faith, a messenger of a different kind in a sprawling cityscape. Her idea of speed delivery though, is jumping around, across and over buildings (think parkour or free running) and getting quickly. Players have free rein in making Faith literally jump through hoops and watching her perform the wildest of stunts from her point of view.

Worth a look
Once you get over the first impression of a bland cityscape you realise just how well the visuals have been designed to help you make the most of the experience. Sadly, the gameplay itself prevents this Mirror's Edge from being a classic. The controls are clunky and less than intuitive and the repetitive nature of brute force progression can get tedious. Worth a look, but try before you buy.
