This is a great free running game. The violence is nothing serious. Its got a bit of blood, kicking and shooting. But its actually fine. You run at someone kick the gun out of the hand then shoot them. There is not much blood, and its more like paint anyway. Its got a lot of language, not serious ones but they are frequent. Its just not a bad game blood wise. Its a lot of fun though.

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.

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.

The game is about fixing the city and running from police.I think this game should not have been teen.

its okay not very violent

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!!!
