31 Aug 2008 22:24Wii Wish: Mirror's EdgeThe Wii's library has taken extraordinary leaps and bounds since last year, especially in the 3rd party category. But that shouldn't keep us from hoping for more. There are some great games out there that Wii hasn't gotten a shot at yet, and Wii Wish is where WiiHD (and you) can document those great titles. Today's featured title is Mirror's Edge. A First Person Action Adventure title, Mirror's Edge has a highly versatile gameplay model that allows you navigate the finer gradations of your environment with more freedom than most games. As we've talked about before, more photo-realism begs for more freedom of movement—and Mirror's Edge seems poised to deliver just that. You are Faith, a loving sister looking to secure your sibling's freedom from an evil regime. Right now you're acting as a message runner for the criminal element, since Big Brother watches all conventional communications. In the course of playing (running), you'll be subjected to a game interface that really tries to immerse you in your environment, not just with effects and lighting, but with visual feedback of your actions. You'll see your arms and legs pumping, hear your lungs laboring and you'll see realistic recoil when you make a landing. In fact, seeing this game is believing (unless you're prone to motion-sickness). Hit the break for some video, tell us what you think, and then describe the game you wish were coming to Wii. Don't hold back either, swing for the fences.

Wii Wish: Mirror's Edge
(sorry for the title was spelled wrong)I think wii needs a big update. It seems to me that every new wii game that comes out, the 360 gets 6 of them. Every bad review game, anew one comes out that is not for wii.We need this game.

@[[[]]][Bibliography item label not found.],,
This is the type of game that I had expected to wii to be flooded with. It seems the gaming industry lacks a good imagination, or are too busy trying to refine the look of old PSONE-era games. yeah yeah graphics, but what about gameplay. I swear the wii shouldn't even be in the videogame section, it should be in the bargain toy section where you find those 20-in-1 game systems you plug into the tv.
Anyway, I thought i'd be running around as vader and shooting my batapult to swing from building to building, or doing ninja stuff. I've been sadly mistaken.
It would be great if there was some motion sensing gloves and socks. To run you would jog on the spot, to jump forward you would hop forward, when you landed after a big jump there would be an electric shock through your socks. Virtual sunglasses would be a bit silly but they would be awesome. All of these things would make it a lot more realistic and more fun to play.
I agree with Bankerbob. It would be amazing to have motion sensing gloves and socks—-and the electric shock. It would be more real…but it would probably be very expensive. XD
