Despite it’s flaws I think Mirror’s Edge is a damn cool game. Heck, anything based on free-running, or parkour, is cool.
But of course, I won’t be able to play it. I will get massive motion sickness even at the menu screen.
However, Borne Games has recently created a 2D flash version of Mirror’s Edge and it looks just as cool as the first-person’s. Play it at http://www.bornegames.com/mirrors-edge-beta/.
This is just my opinion, but a parkour game is only cool if you are able to see the moves the character is making. Thus, playing from a first-person perspective kinda kills the fun a bit. The DRM-free Prince Of Persia does look cool with its acrobatic stunts and animation, although it has been said that it’s no challenge to the player as there is no consequence.
