3/5 ★ – DirtyMidnighter's review of Mirror's Edge.

Wow, what a cool idea. A first-person parkour simulator? Yes please. I'm also impressed by the restraint on display in the art style. This is one of the sleeker, cleaner visions of the future to be found in video games and I am here for it. Everything seems to be going well until you sit through the first Flash-animated Esurance-commercial-looking cutscene and then it's a big OH NOOO. The game also starts to fall apart mechanically when guns are added to the mix, but aside from some frustration in the back half, Mirror's Edge is still a uniquely compelling (if uneven) experience.
