Critics praised its visuals and immersive first-person perspective, but some criticized its trial and error gameplay and restrictive levels. Upon release, Mirror's Edge received generally favorable reviews. The game's score was composed by electronic music artist Solar Fields, while the main theme song was composed by Swedish producers Rami Yacoub and Arnthor Birgisson and performed by Swedish pop star Lisa Miskovsky. The game deliberately makes use of strong primary colors, with outdoor environments predominantly featuring white and distinctively lacking in green. Although the game is powered by Unreal Engine 3, a new lighting solution, which is able to reflect colors and create a lot of soft shadows, was created to give the game a unique art style. Inspired by chase scenes featured in Casino Royale and the Bourne films, Mirror's Edge features hundreds of first-person animations to convey Faith's movement and interactions with the environment. To progress through the game, the player must control Faith from a first-person perspective and complete a series of levels that involve performing a sequence of acrobatic manoeuvres, including jumping between rooftops, running across walls, and sliding down zip lines. Set in a near-future city, the game follows the story of Faith Connors, an underground parkour courier who transmits messages while evading government surveillance.
It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008, and for Microsoft Windows in 2009.
Be sure to check out our hands-on impressions of the game's time trial mode posted earlier today.Mirror's Edge is an action-adventure platform game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. Starting this week, those who pre-order Mirror's Edge at Best Buy will receive a CD containing the game's theme and the Benny Benassi remix. 11 alongside several remixes of the song by prominent musicians including Paul van Dyk, Junkie XL, Teddybears, Benny Benassi, and Armand Van Helden. Like we said, Miskovsky's "Still Alive" will be released Nov. It's a case of "same title, different song." Sort of makes us wonder, though, if anyone connected with Mirror's Edge at DICE or EA has, y'know, heard of Portal? After all, EA did distribute the console versions of The Orange Box. It is, in fact, by Swedish pop star Lisa Miskovsky, and, while wonderful, sounds nothing like Coulton's tune.
This song isn't by geek rock legend Jonathan Coulton, however, nor does it feature the vocal stylings of GLaDOS. That would be the fact that the theme from the game is titled "Still Alive." You know, like the wonderfully infectious theme of another game: Portal. When we received word today about the Mirror's Edge soundtrack – set do be available for digital download upon the game's launch Nov.
