Great concept that could have used a little more refining

User Rating: 7.5 | Mirror's Edge PC

This game is not bad. It has great visuals, an ok story and unique game play mechanics. However, it is definitely short and I feel like it could have benefited from a little more refinement as far as combat is concerned. Still a solid buy in the bargin bin.

Pros
- Great graphics (UT3)
- Unique gameplay (jumping from rooftop to rooftop to rooftop)
- Close to having satisfying combat
- Nice music

Cons
- Kinda a weak backstory for the main character. It seemed interesting but never really was well presented
- Short
- Combat missed out on something. A little refinement and it could have improved a lot


Overall a great buy if you can get it for under $20. Steam had it for $5 so I was all over it. Be sure to play without runner vision if you want to get the most out of the experience
