We've been playing a bit of Mirror's Edge recently (on Xbox 360) and something hit us, it's not really "free" running at all is it? Yeah there's a few ways you can go, but more often than not there's only one way to actually finish a level in the story mode of play.
Sure the game is stylish, it's slick, pretty and let's not forget female protagonist. So why is it I'm not in love with this title? One word... "Frustration". I'm not sure I've felt this level of utter frustration in gaming for a long ass time and that my friends just ruins the experience. Well that and the linear non free running obviously. I can see the splendor of what this title could have been and that makes it all the more painful.
