Runners know that there's a big difference between a 100-meter dash and a marathon. You can go all out during the former and burn brightly over a short period of time, as did the original Mirror's Edge , but the latter requires a steadier sense of pacing and drive.

After many years of torture the team of DICE finally came to their senses and developed the game fans have been begging for. Gone is the linear structure of the 2008 cult classic and in its place is an open-world for you to explore.

The parkour moves are as satisfying as ever | Grid Nodes are fun and challenging

The open-world structure does not work | Faith's voice recording is a low quality | The map is generally a mess of icon

If you're looking for a game to play rather than watch where you can pretend to know parkour then this is a good one for Mirror's Edge fans and those new to the series. If however, you want something more meaningful from the narrative or just want to hear Lisa Miskovsky's Stay Alive one last time,...

awesome game

Get ready to step back into the well-worn sneakers of City of Glass runner Faith Connors once again with Mirror's Edge: Catalyst , the follow up to 2008's underrated free-running action game.

Many people wanted a sequel to 2008's Mirror's Edge, and I was definitely amongst those eager folk. Following the desire for a sequel, another thing that I very much craved was an open-world follow-up.

The original Mirror's Edge was one of my very favorite games of the last generation. It was a different type of game in a time where multiplayer shooters

Far better story development and narrative than the original; Beautiful art style; Plenty to do in this game

Running in the open world never reaches its potential; Forced combat sequences are repetitive and frustrating; Technical/Graphical issues pop-up quite often

After years of pleading, fans including myself finally got their wish…a new Mirror's Edge. The original was a great game, even if it didn't quite live up to the hype. Catalyst is more of a prequel as it serves up Faith's origin story, explaining how she became a runner, what happened to her family...

Good game but its north the 1st ..................

Game play much better than the first. More attack options. Great that it has a map that you can visit and see what needs to be completed. A lot more interactive.
