which lets you try your hand at finding the fastest routes through

leaderboards for other players to download and compete against.
Players who download their friends' runs will have a ghost to race
against and challenge for the top spot on the leaderboards.
This
demo is a must for action and first person shooter enthusiasts to
download. If you're into fast paced action, you will quickly find
yourself obsessed with this fresh take on first person action
movement, control and combat. For players who have pre-ordered the
game at participating retailers, the Time Trials will have you coming
back again and again. You won't just try to beat your best run in the
same way. You'll try to find new routes that get you moving farther,
faster and smoother than before. And sometimes, even though you think
that you've found the best route, your friends ghost may soon be out
pacing you and taking routes you hadn't even thought of.
Mirror's
Edge
