On The Mirror's Edge, A Giant Leap Of Faith

Hi all!

I caught Disney's latest movie, Bolt, and I even saw it in 3D! I loved the story though it's pretty predictable and all, I loved the Penny- Bolt relationship. And the original movie song- I thought I lost you- was awesome! Yeah I know you thought I was gna say Bey-awsome like that hamster. I'm not that nuts. Yeah, good to see John Travolta singing again, and with Miley Cyrus!

Hah! Finally got kinda bored playing Gears 2 and Halo 3 so I got caught up on a new game. It began when I was watching a Halo 2-3 montage featuring the theme song from Mirror's Edge. I found the song good and I had nothing better to do so I searched for Mirror's Edge theme and searched up on the game. It was a new arrival so I went to my xbox and downloaded the demo. I played it, had laughs when I made big mistakes, and was fascinated. The game engine was spectacular! The slick and cool movements I could excecute with the environment and other people got my interest.

What's more is that it's something like a first person shooter where you have the eyes of the playable character, this gives me a more personal feel of the game and I feel like I'm actually free running! The graphics make it almost realistic such that I have finally conquered my fear of heights. I felt like a real free runner and I loved it. And so It won't get so boring, they included firearms which I can disarm from their wielders gracefully.

But another important thing is the storyline. It sounds common and the cutscenes are in 2D, but I like the animation and that it's more into the future so the mystery may be a lot different. Though it doesn't have multiplayer things and other competitive stuff except speed runs, I cold still play around with the maps as my ghost completes the race. The time trial map pack is even more stunning as the player can leap through a seamless world of possible routes. It's an entire playground!

Hey! My parents have always complained about playing violent games with guns and killing, but I'm still going to get this as a family Christmas present for them. It minimises on firearm usage and anyway it isn't so violent, more acrobatic. Can't wait for the full game!

I don't think anyone has read this far so I'd better go off now. i won't be saying anything on Dark-Light.

Gotta run!

Runs to the edge of the roof and leaps over an out crop of steel, and over to the next building.
