Mirror’s Edge Jumps to Retail

EA DICE tries its hand at something new with Mirror’s Edge, an interesting action platformer that see players jumping from rooftop to harrowing rooftop in a future where freedom and liberty are in short supply. Eat your heart out Lara Croft? Maybe, but I’ll reserve judgment until our review rolls in. The game introduces Faith, a ‘runner’ who traverses the cityscape, engaging in hand-to-hand and armed combat, running from the law and solving platform puzzles.

The game is available now for PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version to be ready in January 20099. Downloadable content is already in the works for Mirror’s Edge, though a precise release date has not been revealed.
