Mirror's Edge (demo)

I downloaded the demo for a new game coming out, Mirror's Edge. The game is set in some futuristic city where information security is so tight that the really sensitive stuff gets hand delivered. The people delivering the information are runners who run across the city's rooftops jumping from building to building to deliver the packages. Somehow the main character is caught up in something and uses her running skills to find out what and how to get out of it. Pretty simple, straightforward plot design. Actual gameplay though was horrible. I went through the whole demo and was bored out of my mind within two minutes.

All you do is run around and jump over, under, or through things. This game really doesn't qualify to be considered part of the Action genre, as Xbox's site suggests. What it should be classified as is a puzzle game because that's what it feels like. All you do is run around and figure out how to get from point A to point B. I guess the only real upside to this game is it's not 'Rated M for Mature'. I wouldn't have a problem giving a game like this to a 12 year old to play, as opposed to something like Gears of War 2 (which I'm going out today to pick up most likely).
