2D Take On Mirror's Edge Is Intriguing
November 19, 2008
As a fan of the 2D gaming genre I always like to see how creative folks can take a 3D game and reimagine it as a 2D adventure. Mirror's Edge for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 is the latest high-end 3D game to get a little 2D Flash downgrade, and while the full version of the game won't be available until next week, Electronic Arts and Borne Games are teasing us with a one level demo/beta version currently available. It's an intriguing take on the core game concept, although my fun came for a halting stop when I somehow managed to get heroine Faith stuck under an obstacle while attempting to slide. Oh well, I suppose that's why this is just a beta teaser and not a full final complete product.
Oh, and speaking of Mirror's Edge, remember that tomorrow is the deadline for entries if you want to win a copy of the Xbox 360 version of the game that PTB is giving away courtesy of Electronic Arts.
