What's with live-action commercials for video games lately. The recent Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2 ads from Japan were weird (to say the least), but at least this one for Mirror's Edge is quite a keeper.

They got the white-washed feel and saturated colors of the game - that's cool. And to their credit, these guys have their freerunning skills down pat. They're not the most wildly absurd parkour stunts I've seen, but I suppose this is the closest talent they could get with what seems to be a skimpy budget for a commercial. (Live-action Mega Man movie, anyone?)

Yeah, I guess you can say they got the essence of Mirror's Edge...

Too bad they made Faith male in this commercial though. Bah. Where's the fun in that? Fancy a boob job there, mate?

Electronic Arts' Mirror's Edge is currently available for the PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version to follow on January next year.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Damn I hate Freerunning, it completely ruins the essence of parkour. And Mirror's Edge is Parkour and this is freerunning so technically this is wrong lol

For those that don't know, they're basiclly the same thing except parkour is about momentum and continuous movement whereas freerunning is trying to pull off moves and look good

That's why video games are made. This looks so ***** compared to Mirror's Edge.

Not a bad video, but it's quite cheap looking, you'd expect it to be a bit more professional looking XD lol

Before clicking on the link, I was thinking urban ninja... and well.... after watching this, I think they were better off using the urban ninja video with the ME song.

I now know some useless fact about some weird sport, but it's good to know in case I am ever invited to Jeopardy.

Faith isn't the only runner. They could have easily found someone who is identical to faith who is also a freerunner. I guess people didn't actually pay attention to the story or something. Jackknife anyone?

these are seriously the worse freerunners I've seen in my life.... you'd think they'd actually make the effort to find some that had a little talent.
