Mirrors edge is and acrobatic shooter in first person view. The graphics are amazing and the controls are easy. The game is not shoot em' up unlike it's relatives (strangle hold, Wet, max payne), in mirrors edge combat is only a portion of the gameplay. It is really a new genre of games, where you get enjoyment by hoping around and sliding and doing jumps with acrobatic summrsaults all in first person. This is a must get title I strongly recomend.

Mirrors edge is a very great game.My sons begged for this game not long after I bought them GTA IV.This game is fantastic.My sons played it nonstop and beat it in 2 days!The story is great and the fast motion running makes it seem like track and field.While you play as faith you seem to find Robert Pope dead with a puddle of blood coming out of his head.It's not that graphic though.I recommend this for your kids if they like first person games.

Mirrors Edge is a must-play for teens and adults. This game is unique, the only of its kind. Its a mixture of assasins creed and prince of persia. You'll never find anything like it. Beutiful graphics, amazing gameplay!!!

Free running from a crooked police force, run by an over sensoring government, while trying to save your framed sister... what's not to love? LOL. This game was exceptionaly done and I enjoyed it all the way to the end. There were some tough points in the game that became frustrating to pass... but once accomplished you feel satisfied. Game is not overly violent and has an enriching storyline... recommend it for kids above age 13 due to it's challenging skill requirements the game is based on.

very good

This game is simply brilliant - it practically makes it's own genre. The graphics are simple but they're clean and polished, giving the futuristic city a natural and at the same time eerily cold feeling. You play as Faith, a 'runner' - those determined not to be caged by the restrictions of the city and who act as efficient mail-carriers to get information and packages to other people trying to escape the corrupt legal system. It's a marvelous game in that it makes you use your head constantly to keep up with relentless enemies as you try to get out of situations; besides worrying about getting shot, you must also keep focused so as to coordinate your movements to keep from falling off the skyscrapers you frequently run atop. For the rating, the panel above gets it right on key - a bit of language, brief animated blood and some violence; probably the most disconcerting thing is the sound effects when you fall off of buildings - it very loudly announces when you're crunched on the pavement below. Other than this, I'd say most kids would love the game itself, though some may skip the cutscenes; I have a brother who has played this at the age of 11 and he had no problems.

Maybe there is some swear words but this game is one of a kind, great graphics and brilliant gameplay, also, the main charictor (sorry if i spelt that wrong) faith is a great rolemodel for yound girls to stick up for what they thing is good, but dont try theese stunts at home!!! 12+

Great game with just a little language

It earned its teen rating by having alot of s words in there and when you shoot the enemy like said above for watch out for violence you get a almost cartoon blood when shooting an enemy but you use your fists and feet more than a gun. Great game though

If you are looking for a first person shooter, that isn't actually very violent, then there would be two games that I would suggest-Portal and Mirror's Edge. The game is big, expansive, and cheap(at least for the PC[20$!]). The story is so good it could even be put into a movie! The gameplay is unique, and even though there is violence, the least of it is what Faith dishes out(at least while you're playing as her.)Most of it is by The Blues and some other characters. Another thing that I found saddening is that the only blood appears in cutscenes,(seeing people that were murdered or be murder) and not when you actually shoot people. But, when you are shot, a red splat(you guessed it)appearson the screen where you just were shot. The only other violence that I would say is that when Faith gets killed in a certain manner, she falls on the ground, lifts up her hand, then drops it. The REAL reason that this game is rated T is because of all of the SWEARING. Yes, ALL of the SWEARING. Da-n, Sh-t, A-s, Hell, plus some Screwed and others that I am forgetting. However, the worst part would be that most of the characters swear. Overall, this game is one to buy. Oh yeah-If you can, get it for the Xbox or PS3, cause physics don't work on the PC.

This game is one of the coolest games it is action packed with punching kicking you name it!

The lauguage is s**t but other than that its a good game, hardly any blood (only when you get shot) and no gore at all i recomend this game as a 12+ as it has some blood and swearing. BUY THIS GAME!!!

If you love swinging from building to building, climbing massive towers, balancing on pipes hundreds of feet off the ground, then this is the game for you. The story is alright, but the game's length leaves you feeling unsatisfied with what you are given. This game can be completed within a day, and doesn't have too much of a replay value. Buy it if you find it for $20 or less. Shooting is prominent, but it isn't excessive, in fact your encouraged to not use weapons to subdue your enemies. Language can be filtered by simply turning down volume, although it's nothing worse than what you hear at school.

A very revolutionary and entertaining game. It is not inappropriate at all. The only thing is that you can hurt policemen, but they work for a corrupted and evil government.
