*/That said, the combat is usually a lot more optional than it appears
to be and there are several places in the game where you're advised by
your friends on the radio that it would be best to tackle foes you could
easily avoid if you wanted. The actual mechanic of the combat means that
encounters don't last long too - enemies go down with just a punch or
two and can put you down in the same amount of time. Getting through
most encounters quickly isn't a problem, it's just when you hit a bad
run that things feel annoying.
To focus too much on these relatively minor negatives though would be a
crime in our eyes, taking attention away from the far more numerous
redemptive aspects of the game. The only problem the game really suffers
from is a somewhat stunning brevity and an ending that's strangely
abrupt and unfulfilling despite the fact that the run-up to it left us
panting like excited dogs with blocked noses.
OK, so //Mirror's Edge still isn't perfect despite the extra coat of
gloss that the PC versions received. The fact remains though that it's
an absolute must have for anyone who likes FPS' or platformers and for
any console gamers who, like //bit-tech.net's Jamie, were put off the
console version by stiff and awkward controls. This is the definitive
and superior version of //Mirror's Edge and it's truly glorious despite
the brevity./
