Mirrors Edge plot massacre.

Mirrors Edge story problems.

I played Mirrors Edge a good year or two ago, but the memories still burn fresh in my mind. I could go into all sorts of detail about the failures of this game, but I need not. There is only one aspect I feel like stamping all over today, and that's the plot.
I hear Terry Pratchetts daughter wrote Mirrors Edge, which is a good argument against the concept of hereditary traits being passed from parent to child if you want to disprove the theory of evolution I guess that that's besides the point. The point is the story of this game falls flat on its face so often its flatter than a polished monolith.

So lets start at the start. The game opens up with some back story of your main character, Faith (Oh I see 'leap of faith' fantastic work Ubisoft real clever,

This is as much as I read before I stopped. Simply because Ubisoft didn't make the game it was EA and DICE. You say that you can still talk about it years since playing it and yet you can't even get the developer right.

I made it as far as the bit about the Russian revolution that overthrew Stalin before I cracked up and stuck a pin in it. In fairness, I actually missed the Ubisoft thing on the first pass becomes somehow "leap of faith" cross wired Mirror's Edge with Assassin's Creed in my head.

This is super intresting and I'm glad I didn't buy the game when it came out. I hated the fighting in te demo so figured I could just skip people but never got around to actually playing it. Although I don't fully trust reviewers so I may still get the game for the $5 it is at blockbuster

Mirror's Edge is a must play game if you like platformers, it has the best level design of any 3D platformer this gen. The only thing you really need to be able to do combat-wise is learn to disarm enemies and you'll be golden. The game is much more about the main character Faith rescuing her sister because she was framed for a murder than about the government and it's surveillance and whatnot, which is what the TC is complaining about. The government stuff is not at all developed, but it does make sense and there's no glaring holes in the plot.

I remember renting the game and insta-skipping through all the cutscenes. I knew that it had some kind of story or something but I just like the jumping around.

The concept is suppression of the truth. As a Runner you combat that by distributing said information, seeing the world as less of a utopia and more of a totalitarian regime through the knowledge you deliver.

There's a reason the place looks so nice; there's no freedom. It's a pretty place to live in, but like hell if you can live in it.

And you'd best bet there ain't internet in that city. At least, not one without industrial-grade filters.
