You know that feeling you get when a coaster has just completed a steep climb, and it's picking up a little speed, and you know that it's about to seriously plummet several stories? I felt that way every time I leaped off a building in Mirror's Edge.ĭespite some regrettable drawbacks and frustrations, *Mirror's Edge *is a singular and incredibly compelling experience. No game has ever come this close to creating the sort of physical sensations I get while riding a roller coaster. Still, it's a testament to how visceral and involving the game experience is that this is even an issue. But making my avatar stand still for a second while I took a deep breath always seemed to take care of that. I had a few twinges of queasiness during Mirror’s Edge, particularly when the point of view was whipping around 180 degrees. In general, I'm fairly susceptible to this sort of thing: When I played through Half-Life 2 on PC, I had to pause frequently and walk around the block to let my stomach settle. There's been some brouhaha about the game's tendency to induce nausea. At one point during the final chapter, I entered an extremely under-lit room and groped around blindly for 30 to 45 minutes before I found the way forward. As I moved from light areas to dark areas, I had to adjust the game's brightness and contrast settings - and then the brightness levels on my TV. The clean, antiseptic offices and open-air malls give way to dingy alleys and clammy subway tunnels.īut the blown-out brightness and inky darkness are miserable if you're trying to find your way around. Said bits of color are used in a subtle way to guide you to your next foothold or jumping-off point. The monochromatic color scheme works perfectly, making any bits of color pop out of the screen. Mid-level loading times are infrequent, but rather lengthy - the game pulls that Mass Effect trick of having you climb into an elevator and travel what appears to be 500 floors while the game extracts the next environment off the disc.įrom a purely aesthetic standpoint, I love the unique graphic style of Mirror's Edge.

I imagine that most players will skip the story scenes, and the developer seems to be OK with that - you only have to view them for 20 or 30 seconds, while the level is loading. It concerns a repressive and uncool government that has the citizenry on a short leash, and apparently only foot messengers with parkour skills are successful at rebelling against it. The story plays out in brief animated scenes that, as many people have noted, look a lot like the ads for Esurance.

And once you know the level by heart and you're racing through at a dead run, looking for shortcuts and trying to beat your best time, it's glorious. The first time you make it through without dying, it's a blast.

But go back and try the level again with a better sense of how to tackle its acrobatic challenges, and it's a lot more fun.
#MIRRORS EDGE UNBLOCKED TRIAL#
The first time you traverse a level can be frustrating, with a few head-scratching moments and a lot of trial and error. This seems restricting at first, but it helps the replay value quite a bit. There are sometimes multiple paths through levels, but it's not a free-roaming game. Yes, it's repetitive, but in the way that the Burnout racing games are repetitive, where the better you get at it, the more fun it becomes. But it's fundamentally about running, jumping and tumbling. It mixes in a bit of combat and puzzle-solving here and there. The game is well-paced, alternating between cramped, claustrophobic spaces and wide-open ones, between pursuit and evasion. There are plentiful save and restart points, but I died so often at some points that I found myself wishing that Edge shared Prince of Persia's time-rewind function. Mirror's Edge frequently requires you to chain together a sequence of carefully coordinated moves to reach the next objective, and it's extremely easy to fall to your death if you mistime one. At first, Edge struck me as a fusion of everything I loved about the superpowered cop in Crackdown and the urban rollerblade kids of Jet Grind Radio: the gorgeously funky futuristic aesthetic, an array of acrobatic moves and the intoxicating ability to explore the vertical dimensions of a cityscape.īut the more I played, the more it felt like Prince of Persia.
