Mirror’s Edge was probably one of the more argued over
console releases of 2008 thanks to its simplistic gameplay and origins at EA,
and we know we spent ages discussing if two-button gameplay could really work
or if EA really had turned over a new leaf.
To put it bluntly, the mysterious and lengthy delays for the
PC version didn’t help either. DICE tries to recreate such a sensation with
Mirror’s Edge, a game built on the ideas of parkour, efficiently scaling
obstacles to, in this case, escape the armed troops of an oppressive regime.
Wall-running over those colours that have been suppressed by the government
puts you more closely in touch with those feelings of bottled anger and
frustration. The setup is simple. There’s a nebulous government attempting to
squash the resistance networks of which you’re a part. There’s an undeniable
joy to nailing an extended sequence of movements, like pulling off a rapid
succession of Scout rifle headshots in Counter-Strike or hitting the entirety
of a solo in Guitar Hero.
