I LOVE MIRROR'S EDGE

It's a burst of bright light and color. It's a breath fresh air in presentation and pacing. It's a unique stereotype challenging protagonist. It's full of eye melting lighting and breathlessly realistic movements. It's a truly new and engrossing experience. I LOVE Mirror's Edge.

How to make it better? You wouldn't have to do too much because it's already such an engrossing experience.

1) More levels (BONUS: Make them downloadable content. You bet I'd pay for another 5 missions. I'd pay top dollar!)

2) Make fleeing enemies the most creative and rewarding way of dealing with a potential 'fight scenario'. Everyone complains about the fighting in this game because it requires people to react to someone shoving a gun or their fist in your face in a way that actually *gasp* has some grounding in reality! It's actually really hard to react to that kind of situation in real life. So when you put a little bit of that in a game people starting whining like spoiled children. How do you solve that in a way that stays true to the soul of the game? Give them creative but difficult ways to run the hell away without fighting. That's what someone like Faith would be trying to do!
