One of the best games on PS3. Up there with AC2 and black ops 3.

Mirrors edge is brilliant. An awesome first person game that is action packed and has a great murder mystery storyline. Violence: 4/5. Language: 3/5. (Sh*t, b*stard). Sexual content: 0/5. Positive role models: 4/5. My rating: 11+ for moderate violence, infrequent bloody images and occasional bad language.

A Gaming Experience Like No Other

Mirror's Edge is a parkour-based platformer with a unique art direction and gameplay design. Violence is mild and occasional. At times, you're able to pick up guns (shotguns, pistols and SMGs) and fire at enemies. Very little blood is seen when using guns. One of the cutscenes shows a dead man with his head laying in a pool of blood. Not very graphic, but it's the only bloody moment in the game. Language is rare and very mild. Use of "damn" and one use of "$h!t" is heard.

A little to difficult for 10 year olds

This game is great. For 2010 the graphics are good and the mechanics are awesome. This game does have a way to turn off graphic content but, if you leave it on and it can allow slight violence, and some swearing. But generally the game is kid appropriate besides for that. But the game has many difficulties. Some difficulties make the game extremely hard. The game might be appropriate for ten year olds but it is definitely too difficult.

Amazing game, and not very inappropriate.

This is probably one of my favorite games. You can hear s**t a good few times throughout the game, but the language doesn't get any worse than that. As far as the violence goes, it's not bad either. You are usually being chased by armed "police officers" (that's in quotes because the game takes place in a time when society has fallen apart, and the character you play as is not a criminal). The police men will shoot you or hit you with their gun within range. Your character can also punch, kick, slide into, and disarm them. Once disarmed or killed you can also take their gun and use it. However, all acts of violence are completely optional, though sometimes it can make the game a bit more difficult. The only other thing is that you can fall off of buildings, which just has a wind sound as you fall and the screen blacks out as you near the bottom.

CSM didn't catch the violence

This game does have a bit more violence than CSM said. A man is show dead, a bloody hole in his head. Players can pick up a gun, but do not have to. S--t, hell used.

It's a great game if your kid is mature enough.

VIOLENCE: It can get pretty violent at times. but there is no over-the-top-violence. You can kick, punch and shoot enemies but there is no blood. You only see blood when you're shot. There isn't really anything too bad about the game. This is an excellent first person game so don't miss it! 12+
