Misunderstood by FPS fans, loved by everyone else.
User Rating: 10 | Mirror's Edge PC
Mirror's Edge is simply amazing. No other game has surpassed such technicalities in terms of a first person experience. Although I would like to point out that ME is not just any other fps. It's deviates from it--actually it is not a hybrid but a specie of its own. People say it's boring--probably expecting to have another FPS gun and run. I say gun and run games are over saturated and honestly--are the ones becoming boring. ME developers are quite possibly the most creative ones at best. How many FPS games do you know? How many FP parkour slash platforming slash strategic slash martial arts slash many other things like vertigo-esque surrealism do you know? None. ME is a not for everybody and thank God for that, I could not handle another COD clone or HALO substitute. And that my friends is ME's ultimate downfall, seeing that not everybody gets it, so nobody cares about it and nobody would play it. I guess EA should've marketed it differently though, in it the advertising would be art just like ME itself--art. When nobody gets it and only a handful has the insight to appreciate it--then that's art. FPS have become too saturated that a gem like ME is a breath of fresh air.
BOTTOM LINE: If you're an fps (emphasis on the SHOOTER) then stay as far away from this one--I beg you, don't even look at it, touch it in the store, or even imagine what the game would be like. You will sorely be disappointed and blame the developers for making a god-awful game and be sour against those who like it 'coz they are blind and are wasting their money. I could say the same to them of course, the fps lovers. This is not FOR EVERYONE.
