In Mirror's Edge , players are shown a world through the eyes of Faith, a girl who finds herself on the run shortly after her sister is framed for committing murder.

Mirror’s Edge is bringing something new to the action-adventure genre this holiday by putting the player in the shoes of the hero, seeing what she sees, feeling what she feels,” says Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer for DICE. “We wanted to create an entirely new experience, with a different type of heroine and a world that not only looks fresh and new but has unique gameplay.”

A demo for Mirror's Edge will be made available for download via the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Playstation Network closer to the game's release. Also, beginning September 26 th , players who pre-order the game at participating retailers will receive and exclusive code that unlocks the game's Time Trial mode in the demo, essentially giving them a chance to experience more of the game before its release. Time Trial mode challenges players to find the fastest route across the rooftops and through the streets. Players can upload their best time to the Mirror’s Edge leaderboards for their friends to download and compete against. Players can see their friend’s ‘ghost’ run as they race their way through the course to the top of the leaderboards.
