If you finished the game, and didn’t get the ‘Pacifism’ Achivement. . .
You played it wrong. (IMO of course)

Mirror’s Edge is a PHENOMENAL game and easily one of the top 10 this generation. Possibly top 5. It is one of those rare games that becomes a true SKILL after practice practice practice.

I’ve finished this game about 10 times and play time-challenges.

First time finishing the game, yeah, there where time’s i wanted to jump into the game and curbstomp Faith. But then i realized my stubborn self wanted to play through the difficult parts the way i wanted or thought it should be done. And that’s just a wrong way to play any game.

But now every time i play it its like i’m in heaven. Crystal white with pure color’s and people shooting at me. I get to slide of glass giants with a chopper trying to perforate every square inch of my virtual manifestation. And all this in my architectural dreamworld.

This game causes me to have gameboner that interrupts my bloodstream.

I have to agree, there is so much that is great about Mirror’s Edge – it’s ashame people have a tendancy to get hung up on the difficulty spikes. Sure they’re frustrating but if you soldier through them there is a wonderful experience to be had. I had a slightly different take on the game, here’s my two cents:

Nice article – I guess I missed this when it was first posted, oops!

It’s not often that I can say I truly love a game, but I can say it about Mirror’s Edge without hesitation. It really is something special – definitely my game of 2008, (with Fallout a close second), and certainly one of the most interesting and exciting games I’ve played in the last five or six years.

Interesting thoughts about the use of colour as well. You really notice the contrast between the vivid primary coloured building sections and bleached white trees and streets. It’s something I thought about a lot when I was playing the game, but I never thought about it that way.

Just finished Mirrors Edge this weekend. I went back to it after a long break to play other games I purchased since. Mirrors Edge is possibly one of the best times I have had with Video games. When the closing scene finished and the theme song (Still Alive) came on, I got chills. This will be one of those times that when I hear that song in the future it will instantly take me back to this time. In my opinion, Mirrors Edge is one of the most underrated games of 2008. I am now even considering buying it on 360 as well, so I can play through it again and get the achievements (i am a bit of a gamerscore whore). If you are on the fence, thinking of getting it, or have played the demo and liked it, I completely recommend it. Renting it may be the way to go if you have doubts but make sure you finish the game. As a complete experience it is up there with the best of them.

Mirror’s Edge was one of the best games of the year. Yeah, the combat was extremely frustrating in a few spots, but the rest of the game more than made up for it. I loved almost everything about the game. I loved the art style, the main character, the theme song…. No game has ever made me feel the way that Mirror’s Edge did. I actually felt like I was Faith, and I saw the world through her eyes. To be honest, I can’t understand the negative reviews and poor sales that the game got. I can’t wait for a sequel!(Hopefully)

Interesting article. I personally loved the game (oddly enough I liked it the most at the platforming puzzles) and I now have some new insights to look into when I replay the game.

You deserve mega props for saying something new about the game, with the psychological use of colours the game designers did. Especially, how Faith’s sister cop has a stronger blue tint to her uniform.

I’m also a big fan of the game. I really hyped it up a lot in my head before it came out, but I feel it delivered enough for me to be satisfied. I was so obsessed with innovation this past year and mirror’s edge was one of my favorite innovative games. I agree that the combat was a big problem and I hope that they improve it or at least put much less emphasis on it in a sequel. Anyway, just like you said, the experience is what really carried the game for me.

I finished the game in two days. There were parts where i got so mad i could break the controller in two. I especially love the boat mission. Chasing after Cell was fantastic. Also the sound of the bullets smashing into the concrete next to you adds even more adrenaline to the overall rush.

The only problems. Having to stop to think about how to get on the other side, however the elevator jumping in The Shard is cool because the enviroments is still moving around you.
Don’t do mission on roofs in nighttime, at least the one i played sucked.

Narrow spaces with small platforms to jump on. I hate the ventilation systems in this game.

What i want in the next Mirrors Edge: Rob a bank and run from the cops.

I thought the world of this game, almost as much for it’s tech as anything else. What Dice did here is commendable, and I look forward to seeing some of the fundamentals of Mirror’s Edge transplanted to other games. I sit playing Battlefield: Bad Company and wonder what it would be like to run from a tank while it plows through building walls while I leap from a table to a blown out wall, only to drop a mine behind me…you see where I am going…

It seems like the general opinion of games journalists about Mirror’s Edge is that of “it had promise, but it didn’t live up to it”, and I’m so glad to read something like this. In my opinion one of the greatest and most overlooked parts of the game was the time trial mode.

When you start a time trial portion, it will start you at a random part of the map, and will funnel you through check points in a really interesting way. Sometimes the check point can be clear on the other side of the map, and you have to really think about your obstacles before getting to your destination. It makes you look at the world differently, and in a sense, teaches you how to play the game better.

I beat the game on normal, played through all of the time trial stuff, then was able to play through the game again on hard, and beat it without killing a single guy.

I am still astounded how divisive opinion is. It really is a love/hate thing. I still can’t get a good read on the game (I don’t actually own a system that carries the game). By reading this bit, it sounds like a gestalt. You get it or you don’t. At this point, when I pick up a 360, I’ll get this as well, simply out of curiosity.
