Mirror's Edge - Sforza - 11-07-2008
I <3 it! Go download the demo ASAP so you will <3 it too lawl.
The game runs on the unreal engine 3, and generally requires the user to jump and move across obstacles (from point A to point B) in the fastest manner possible. There's very few guns, and it slows the character down when she's carrying them. I don't think ammo can be picked up either, so guns have to be discarded. It's about as much an FPS as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was, in a non-traditional sense.

In case you're getting it, don't worry too much about the controls. The interface is simple enough to understand and the launching places for "moves" are tightly set. The sound effects are great, from Faith's reaction on launching and landing at different surfaces/height. The types of materials used as obstacles are also quite realistic. I haven't noticed any clipping issues either.

Er. It's not. It's about doing freerunning/parkour in different locations in the city to get to drop-off points. No sci-fi concepts in it at all, just real world physics. Watch the youtube vid...
