Mirrors Edge Review
Written by Tyrant V i r u s;

Mirrors Edge is based in a city which is constantly under serveillance, everything is tracked ellectronically in order to crack down on crime within the city. Information has to be tracked from its sender to the reciever, however, to get around this problem a team of 'runners' has been assembled by Merc, an ex runner himself.
You take the role of Faith Connors a female lead. Runners recieve pieces of physical information and use the rooftops and alleways in order to stay out of sight. As Faith you must uncover the secrets behind the death of Pope and why your sister has been blamed (Kate Connors).

Via a first person view you must make your way through the city using different modes of transport, it isn't just your legs which you use. You start off by learning the basic with a friend of yours, you must learn how to slide under object, jump over them, grasp on to ledges and do combinations of wall runs to jumps etc.
Once you have passed this level you are free to continue with the story.

EA have done extremely well with their graphics in this game, and alot of time has been spent perfecting even the slightest details. For example, when Faith gains momentum the space around her becomes blared, hti an ibject hard and she will be in pain. Via first person you can only view her hands, if you look around however you will be able to see her feet and legs. A great FP look if I have ever seen one. Colours are nicely built together but I would say that the surrounding environments can get a little harsh on the eyes at some points.
Which brings me on to real time affects, sunlight is very powerful in this game and can affect you. Stand directly in to the suns firing line and your vision will become impared, stand in the shadows and you will be fine.
Falling is also another high point in this game, however I wouldn't recommend that you try this unless you feel up to restarting at the last known checkpoint.

The stoyline was deffinately unique in many ways but the whole reason why you are continuing on this journey is unknown to me? Why couldn't you just leave? I can not mark EA down on this though, there are some high points within the game.

PROS
Graphics are of suberb quality, almost realistic if it wasn't for using a controller

Use of light and surroundings is well used; you can deffinately use many objects and area of buildings when considering how to complete a level.

Storyline is unique.

CONS
The story maybe lengthy in some forms but sometimes the reasons why you are going to these lengths to find and answer is uncertain.

There is no online mode but you can challenge your friends 'ghosts' in the different time trials. You time will then be saved and you can add that time to the leaderboards if you wish. No too good.

The bosses aren't exactly what I would deem as challenging.

Why should i be on the team?: I reckon I could give a females point on view on many different games from sports to shooters. I enjoy gaming and take details in to mind, serious gamer? You could say that..

Name/Username (whichever you prefer): Puzzler or Amber

Any other commitments that may take away from the fullness of this job: College 3 days a week (from Sept 7th); a short houred work on weekends.

Prior Experience with Game Reviewing and/or Writing: I have written reviews on forums beforehand for such games as Mirrors Edge, Assassins Creed etc and I have also posted some on the forums here.

***Post Examples of your work***
Manhunt 2
Grey's Anatomy Review
Mirrors Edge
CSI Hard Evidence
Assassin's Creed
I hope that for future reviews they will be on the same layout as Manhunt 2, which I am proud of to say the least.

Why should you be on the Review Team? I reckon I can give reviews well, I can also give reviews from a female gamers point of view although I am not your regular female. Come on ZOMBIES! I would like to think I would bring something to the review section of the forums.
