A bit of a surprise, EA Mobile announced that it would be bringing Mirror's Edge to the iPhone this Spring. My first question was "Okay, how does that work?"
Well, here's my answer in the form of a trailer showing off the game in action. It looks like a bit of a 2D-style running sidescroller, rendered using a 3D engine. Visually it's not bad, and Faith looks as limber as ever. Anyone else getting a Canabalt vibe?
Mirror's Edge on iPhone will feature 14 levels of running, sliding, climbing, rolling, and jumping. It looks like it'll be a nice diversion until the inevitable sequel arrives. And yes, despite so-so retail success, word around the water cooler is that DICE is working on a sequel. That's something you want, right?

The game sold over 1.5m units across just 360 and ps3, plus probably another couple hundred thousand on PC, so a sequel is definitely warranted.
yeah I REALLY want a sequel of Mirror's Edge pronto, at least a teaser for this E3 (or earlier!) DICE might have ht eime now Battlefield Bad Company 2 has been out time ago.
Also, I think we all know that Mirror's Edge 2 will be a great sequel, its a game that just seems like it would do better on a second run.
By the looks of this, I can see where the last of my iTunes gift card is going.
But with Mirror's Edge, I've gotten at least 30 hours of enjoyment out of the time trials. Time trials are the game.
No complains.
And yes, me want sequel.
-SSX4
-Dead Space 2
-Mass Effect 3
-Boom Blox Natal
-Mirros Edge 2
That is not a bad thing.
and make a sweet level with like, a collapsing building that you have to escape from.
Maybe the mobile version can get them some extra recognition.
And like everyone else here, I'd totally love a Mirror's Edge 2. The first one had the potential to be such an awesome game...
Wow, SSX sounds weird after saying it a few times.
Anyway, this just reminds me how crap the DSs graphics are. DS2 plox.
