In a futuristic totalitarian dystopia, a master courier (in a group of renegade "runners") investigates a conspiracy, while outrunning the deadly government military, in this parkour-inspired first-person action game.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing through this game. While I have not yet purchased any of the DLC, I imagine its more of the first person goodness that was Mirrors edge. I particularly enjoy running the time trials, although, I seriously doubt I will ever come close to any of the online record holders (those guys are nuts!).

Alas, us penny pinchers cant afford the luxuries of extra stuff, so I have to dock 1 point cause I am poor!

Editor's Note: Video review included! Both reviews took me quite awhile, and this is my first review in nearly a year. Both reviews differ from each other and include a few different thoughts.
