I was really excited for this game. The first Mirror's Edge was amazing probably because it was something new and fresh at the time. This game feels as though ea wasn't expecting to make this and as if they didn't know the formula that made the first game so eciting. The original Mirro's edge was a breath of fresh air. Lets start with the negatives. The story doesn't pull me in. The character development is dull but so was the first. I feel they improved upon it but not enough.There are times when I am locked in an area and unable to escape but forced to fight. THIS ISN'T A FIGHTING GAME! I should be given the option to run or at least if I am to fight set it up so I can flow easily and keep momentum hitting enemy after enemy in an open environment. The story was also somewhat short but definitely not near as short as the first game. To make this worse there isn't much to do after you beat the main story. You can do "dash's", which are just time trials, and create your own but that can only be so interesting for so long. This game isn't all bad though. This is a movement based game after all and they nailed that down. The feeling of running on walls and swinging across roofs is amazing. Even the combat is fluid in open areas and when your not locked in a room. Honestly I would wait for the price to drop down near $30. The game hasn't been out for 2 weeks and is already down to $40 so you might not have to wait long. This game was alright, but what made it worse was probably the hype. It's a decent game but people's expectations were too high and that's too bad.
