Mirror's Edge(TM) is an action game set in a futuristic world of 'runners,' 'Big Brother' surveillance, and adventure. Players control Faith, a courier who runs along rooftops, up pipes and around every kind of obstacle to get from point A to point B. Paramilitary forces called the "PK" are dispatched to eradicate runners like Faith, and they shoot at the player's character with various handguns, tazers, and machine guns. Players can also engage in firefights and hand-to-hand combat with the PK, and a slight red blood effect is emitted from wounded enemies. In addition, a cutscene depicts a dead man slumped over on his desk with his head lying in a small pool of red blood. Characters sometimes use profanity (e.g., "sh*t," "damn," and "bastard") during cutscenes and gameplay.
