So as you may have noticed it may cause a little Vertigo there. Its very....blurry...high up....fast...it may very well fuck you right up. Is it worth it you may ask? Yes. Yes it is.

The demo is available now on XBL and PSN so go download and try for yourself.

Some info on the game....

You play as Faith. A Runner. The world in which Faith lives is controlled by big brother and therefore there is no privacy. Some people who fight back, like Faith, deliver packages to others like her who are against the government. Of course thats where the fun begins. They like to run on rooftops because...why the hell not, theyre far up and fun to run across. Faith was recently injured during one of her runs and is just coming out of commission. And thats where you come in!


People like Faith, the Runners, are very highly trained in what they do and have adapted their senses to the environment and see in Runner Vision. As you may have noticed in the few pictures there, the game is very sparse on color, mostly white, and some red. The red leads you to where you need to go next to give you a little idea of where youre going so you dont...ya know...hop off the edge of a building maybe.


The game is FAST. And I mean real fast. You may very well get sick playing this game, it may not be for everyone, I didnt exactly experience any sickness but people have from what Im reading and that sucks. Why does it suck you may ask? Because this game kicks much ass.


Mirrors Edge is very innovative and very different, its not a FPS (First Person Shooter), but a FPP (First Person Platformer). Sure. You CAN get guns, but wheres the fun in that?

Im not sure what else to include here....lets see...Its a 1-Player game, it releases on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 November 11th. The PC Version...(I think the PC version was delayed until January, any confirmations of this?)

So just a couple more days, or possibly tomorrow for some of you. Excited? Cant Wait? Throwing up?

I know I am!

    November 11th?

    Pretty sure all the promos say November 13.

    Also I haven't gotten the GameStop call yet.

    EDIT: To the other thread!

    November 11/12 in the US (depending on where in the shipping area you live, Iowa gets it Wednesday), November 13 in Europe.

    The demo definitely says November 13, so I'm trying to figure out where the 11th came from as well.
