Debuting today is the official Gameplay Trailer of Mirror’s Edge from EA developer DICE. It shows off the acrobatics of the lead character, Faith, who is a runner for criminal organizations. The basis of the story is she is trying to free her sister who is imprisoned by the totalitarian government that is pursuing her during her exploits. Routes are easily spotted by the color red, yet there isn’t always one route you can take to get to your destiniation. Also the game allows you to defend yourself in a variety of ways, as you can utilize weapons taken from your attackers, or never use a weapon and find other means of defeating anyone in your way.
The trailer features how DICE has evolved the First Person Genre from shooters to having full view of your body and use of the view to maneuver around a city. It also has you feeling like you are Faith, in the fact you hear her breathing, you look down from heights and see how far up you are and it gives you that sense of adrenaline. Definitely check out this new trailer for one of the most anticipated games of 2008.
