MIRROR'S EDGE DEMO IS OUT.

CloseAnd it's fucking amazing. It's short, but easy to get into and very, VERY fun. If you haven't heard about Mirror's Edge, pull your head out of your stupid ass and listen.
It's a first-person platformer with a little bit of FPS action thrown in there. You can jump off objects, slide under things run along walls, run up walls, jump off walls onto ledges and the like, usually while dodging gunfire. The story seems pretty good from the demo and trailers; you're a Runner, an agent who delivers packages and information for criminals bent on overthrowing an oppressive government. Usually they don't go out of their way to catch Runners, they start shooting at you during the demo chapter, and there's some kind of conspiracy behind it or something.
I have to say, I absolutely love the art style. Some of the cutscenes look like they were made in Flash, and the 3D animation is very simple but beautiful. It's mostly monotone with important objects shown in bright red, and I did notice things getting more blue as it got more intense. The whole world has a slight clay-like look to it. The music is great, too.
All in all, it's simple and fun, but it's got a deep and artistic style. I can see myself playing this for hours on end. There's a Race mode too, but you need to pre-order the game to access it in the demo.
EDIT: Gameplay video.

The gameplay looks very good but the art style doesn't excite me. I will have to try out the demo before considering purchasing the full thing.
I dunno, I'm in a half-awake, hungover stupor from last night and for some reason I kept seeing Line's End instead of Mirror's Edge and/or assuming this was somehow a continuation of The Mirror Lied so now I'm completely disappointed but for reasons that are totally not your fault. I mean shit, this wouldn't even be the right forum for that!
What was I thinking? Anyway, yes, I was aware of this game and it looks pretty aweet, but not as sweet as Fallout 3!

I downloaded and played this. It was fairly fun. I really like the sense of speed.
Not as good as the Banjo demo, though...

Actually Faith, the main character in the game, does something called "Free Running" not Parkour ... she is a "Runner" in the game.
"...so a network of runners, including the main character, Faith, are used to transmit messages while evading government surveillance."

EDIT:
Just played the game and I must say it was AMAZING! But WAY too short :( ... I'm definitely going to be buying this game when it comes out

Free Running = Parkour, I think.
They are a bit different ... but the same idea i guess

No they are not the same. parkour=is the way to move the most efficiently and quickly you can. free running=its show like mortals spin in the walls things that destroy the efficiently and quickly thing so the games its parkour no free running. for example: if you are escaping of someone you dont do a mortal you do a parkour movement because its more fast and another example its matrix but without cables (free running). but the free running looks better and harder (its no nessesary to be more difficult I can´t explain you why, you need to practice to understan this) ;D. and the reason that many confuse the parkour and the free running is because its start in lisses france by David Belle he call it parkour then some people train with he and they want to take this all over the world so the create a name more commercial and tricks more comercials they are Sebastian foucan (casino royal,madonna-jump) and the Yamakasi (I think their movie call the Yamakasi). And i havent play the demo yet :-\ i will try it someday

So where can you find this demo? I'm only finding articles about console demos. Where is the real demo?
OH THAT'S RIGHT. EA HATES PC-GAMERS.

I played this last night. People who said it was too short are somewhat right, if they are talking about playing it for replay value. Otherwise, the first time through is just fine, seeing as the tutorial takes so god damned long.
I found it quite fun. The controls are great, and it's just so fun and different. However, guns look like shit, and remind me of 007 Goldeneye for the N64.

EA hates all gamers. Try not to take it personally.
EA doesn't hate gamers; they're rich because of gamers! The reality is that EA is allergic to putting any serious effort into anything besides finding ways to make more money for less effort. If it can be shipped then by gods they'll ship it, release a patch, then drop support for it so they can focus on the next game

My bad, I got publishers mixed up. I think EA has actually been improving recently (well, in a EA-ish way). I was thinking of Activision who published some Vampire Mask game that was buggy to all hell, released a patch or two that still resulted in a buggy to hell game, then dropped it.

The only thing EA ever got right was Need For Speed. :-\
Yeah, i would have to agree with you on that.
