PopMatters: Mirror’s Edge review

Mike Schiller writes:

"Critical reception to Mirror’s Edge has been mixed, but that may well be because it is easily one of the most conflicted, difficult to classify games of the year. While the in-game visual presentation and controls are both innovative and extremely smart, Mirror’s Edge falters in those places where it relies on more conventional gameplay devices. It’s actually quite unfortunate given how forward thinking so much of the game is that some major elements are not only generic, but frustrating. But what’s done well is done so extraordinarily so, it is difficult not to come away from the game feeling overwhelmingly positive about the experience as a whole."
