CVG has posted one of the firt reviews for Mirror's Edge. A game that tries to be different, and does a great job of it. From the review, this game is sure to be a hit with many people. And from the impressions from the demo, it looks like it will be a great game.

Final Score=9/10

Mirror's Edge isn't just a shooter. It's actually a sort of anti-shooter. Only with guns. It takes the basic shape and feel of an FPS, but then ditches the focus on destruction and fury and instead goes for elegance and style - and still does guns really well, when it feels like it.


You're Faith, resident of an ominously sanitised near-future city. But the arctic cleanliness masks political corruption and police brutality. Criminals and dissidents have been pushed underground, resulting in the foundation of a covert network of runners - couriers carrying sensitive packages of information out of sight from heavily monitored regular channels.

Faith is one of these couriers - impossibly athletic, sure-footed and fast - and she's about to get tangled up in the city's darker side because her city cop sister's been framed for murder.

    I'm going to get this on PC probably. Looks good. It' be wild to play it on like a 20" projection screen.

    What a well-written point! And I love the premise for the story!
    9/10 is also a very good score.
