Saw the trailer for this a week or so back. I didn't really like it as the this Parkour business makes me irritated. It's like that scene in Casino Royale:

Director: "Hay! How can we appeal to the "nu" generation?"

Yuppie: "I know! Let's put in some of that new fangled Parkour! All the kids are doing it!"

And this Mirror's Edge seems a tad pretentious where the designers are insinuating how they're "above" these two dimensional first person shooters.

Although it looks OK stylistically, the depth just doesn't seem to be there from what I've seen. Running through a city with pretty colours and little else just seems a little thin. I can actually see the majority of reviews going the way of Rise of the Robots for the 21st century.
