Mirror’s Edge

I had heard about this game a while ago as “that game where do you that french running thing”. Didn’t sound very exciting, but after watching this trailer, I am having second thoughts. The Parkour looks pretty fun, and I have always liked games that promote moving fast above the ground, like the various Spider-Man, or Hulk games, and Bionic Commando was one of my favorites as a kid.
I love the look and feel of this game. The light, clean and stark environment is a nice contract to the amazing amount of darkness and browns that FPS games usually give us.
There are a few things that I feel will make or break this game. The first being if its a big wide open world, or a obstical course on rails. I think they need to make the game wide open, to give you a real feeling of free-running. The second thing that I feel will be important is that the melee combat is done well. We haven’t had a well done FPS melee game in a while. If the melee sucks, its going to be a big problem. Third, motion sickness could be a problem. The part in the video near the beginning of the video where the character does a roll already has be a bit worried.
If they can pull those three things off, I think the game is going to be a big hit. Watch the video and tell em what you guys think.
