Mirror's Edge is a great play

Wow, what a refreshing change of pace. Loved playing through the story and I look forward to going back and giving the time trials a go. And that song, it's on my brain and I can't shake it. I draw a lot of paralells to the game "portal" - it was a somewhat similar experience. Challenging levels you have to think through, some quick decisions, similar lead character (albeit spring legs and teleport device in portal ), and strangely enough the songs in both games have the same title "Still Alive." Running around outside on rooftops and getting into the story gives the sense of freedom in the game, although you do follow a pre-ordained path. It was the perfect balance for me and I truly enjoyed it. It's a great rental that has some staying power with some future DLC.

Anyway, if you haven't seen some of the trailers or gameplay, enjoy the video below, but be forewarned as it's the high quality feed and uber-sized.
