MIRROR'S EDGE (from EA's Swedish studio, DICE) was so full of potential, an interesting take on the first person adventure that was all about hands-on Parkour escapism, unarmed combat and clean future worlds in high resolution. But it wasn't the most satisfying game, according to review, even with a tagged-on PhysX enhancement for PC versions. I mean, even based on the original trailer (below) I personally sent in a long list of enhancements to DICE to catch all the obvious gotchas before the game came out.
Well, it came out, without much in the way of interface additions or skeletal-body helpers. And, by all accounts the game was OVER in less than a day's play. It was necssarily no surprise when EA recently announced that a demo of Mirror's Edge 2 hadn't secured a contract for the sequel.
But according to THE ESCAPIST, there might be an eleventh hour reprieve. Here's how good Mirror's Edge game should have been, could have been, with suitable enhancements to the LookSee interface and story.
And, you know, I always hoped that Mirror's Edge 2 would be the SUPERIOR VERSION of that original demo, so packed with representational potential.
