Great post! I really enjoyed the angle you used to approach discussing the game. Definitely more interesting than yet another discussion on how people think Mirror’s Edge should be reviewed (though admittedly, I do have my gripes on that point regarding many of the critiques I have read). I completely agree that DICE have done a great job of capturing movement and momentum for this game, and I share your frustrations regarding the stop/start that peppers it, although I actually don’t mind the cutscenes — I look forward to them.

[...] Infovore » Momentum Mirror’s Edge is most notably for being a first-person game where shooting is pretty much optional and, a lot of the time, inadvisable. Instead, it places the act of motion itself front and centre: as Faith, a “runner” (the game’s parlance for traceur) you dart through the City as a free-running courier, free from the tight grips of a police state.
