This game looks sweet, I love parcour and this is the first game where it actually looks like someone put some effort into monkeying about. Release date 11/11/2008.

This is propably one of the most original FPS games i've ever seen. EA possibly has done a great job making this. I hope it will come to PC though :(


PS: I think the game is freerunning, not parkour.

I love how puzzling it was like the small things you had to do in Half Life 2. The bright, vibrate, and freedom look keeps the game fresh plus the cops keep it full of action.

I love missing jumps, it's hilarious watching you plunge to the streets below.

Yes I hate how they make games so short. Its not worth the money however good the game is.

After playing GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas (GTA4 Single player sucked) I have very high expectations, because these games were so long and so great.

DICE made the game, and EA is the distributor. This is why the game is good because EA really did not make it. The amazing people behind the BF games did.

I've played it at my friends house, pretty fun indeed. My only complaint is how REALLY SHORT it is!!! Lame. :( I do like the totally freerunning aspect though, definitely makes it more fun.

d00d how can you disagree with that?

It is the worst single player in the series, and it completely let me down. If it wasn't for the great multiplayer mode, it would be a disasterously bad game.

Why?? Because every mission was Drive somewhere and kill someone. Most of the time the missions were too similiar, and there wasn't anything remotely new or exciting about it. I even think it was miles shorter than the others.

Easy to forget, hard to see how they went wrong.

They didn't even expand on planes, jet packs etc. They stated "realism" as a reason, but since when was GTA realistic???? Also the environment sucks. Can't they get over Liberty City already???? San Andreas had a great environment, this sucked.

I've played the demo for Mirror's Edge and I am seriously considering buying it, even if it is as short as you guys say. It has amazing graphics (Nice, vibrant colours which make a change from the usual Xbox titles), beautiful music, and flawless gameplay. Definitely going to be worth my attention.

How the hell do you guys know it's so short any way, is it already out?! and how short? like COD4 short or worse, btw, hows the multi, IS IT FREEROME!?!?1?!?!?!?

If its shorter than GRAW 2 then srsly.
Demo was fun, and above all, diffrent. Finally a game that isnt a sports game or a 1-man army COD style. Brings something new to the table.

its got like 8-10 hours max.

and the multi is just time trial.

and yes. its been out since last Wed.

i loved it, but if a game being short turns you off, this is a rent easily.

Quite possibly one of the best games I've played on the 360. I just picked it up tonight. I'll review it when I'm done, which might be a while since I played through most of it on a friend's 360 =P.

Parcour is for squirrels, real men shoot zombies while cowering behind soda-machine barricades.

Freerunning = Getting really fast from point A to point B using obstacles as advantage etc.


This is what i've heard.

Wrong, Parkour was created to get from point A to point B with near 100% efficiency

Freerunning is a parkour variant where you mainly try to look cool.

Try beating this game on hard when you don't know where to go. I almost died when you first meet the cop guys.

I just got this game and all I can say this is pure awesomeness, I've died 1000 times, RAGED, and then come back to continue playing, you just can't quit this game.
