I gotta say, this is a pretty impressive run given the circumstances. The guy has raw skills, but this was before everyone figured out all the shortcuts to get crazy fast times. This guy took all the normal paths and STILL beat one of the more challenging levels with 40 seconds to spare. Kudos man.
I just wish that you could see all this in third person! Parkour looks so cool, and Mirror's Edge barely lets you see it. All the same, it's pretty neat to watch when you plummet down a ridiculous drop.
Hmm, yeah true. I always just broke that glass using Faith's Iron Fist... works every time. Great to know people picked up on that little shortcut! A huge reason as to why I love this game... there are so many alternative routes! ... and I find Runner Vision a bit distracting nowadays haha.
@evan3452 Ha ha, No... The latch is not what keeps the door from opening a certain way, it's that thing in the center of the door frame that stops the door. And on city buildings like these where they're made to keep people out, you're not gonna break it by sprinting into it.
@RE4gamerrrrrr - all the doors you need to open yourself open away from you, but there are plenty of doors that open towards you, they are just already open... for example, just look at 1:30 in this video
After the phone call cut scene, grab the gun off the desk, run out of the room and shoot the glass directly across from you. Run through and then climb the display on the left. Stop before you jump through the glass, aim to the next floor and shoot out the glass. Now wall run, twist and jump through to save a lot of time. Surprised it's not in this video... I mean, "I" figured it out. also, this game is in response to the popularity of Parkour, not vice versa. Same with Assassin's Creed.
there is a way to improve, when you get out of the vents after the big guy(don't remember his name), pick up the pistol and shoot the two first panes of glass that you must break as you are running towards it, this is good for the second pane of glass because you don't have to stop running.
When you drop down through the vent grab ropeburn's gun. Then run to the top of the giant red thingamy's and shoot out the windows above the ones you jump through. Then you can run up the wall turn and jump into then. Cuts out like 30 seconds :)
theres that infamous crane to crane jump. can u imagine someone doing that with nothing setup (meaing the cranes werent put there they jsut so happen to be liek that during the run)
Well done Watuhboy, i just have speedruns to make then i have all the achievements, i cant make it work, haha, i always make some mistake at the end and clock goes over the time.
6:49 hahah i was laughed here XD i'm "bnorrow" his weapon, and use it, so you were very brutal xp 5/5, you're perfect and help me, I can't end this lvl.
@zombiecancer888 Ths game IS awesome..and it's about 3 quid now pre-owned so if you never played it, get on it! There is literally nothing else like it, not that I have ever seen anyhow! A true OG...and a bloody good one. 3 hour gaming limit though..due to motion sickness kicking in :D
Run as close to the wall as you can at good speed and near the edge, click the jump button. That should get you running on the wall and reach the other side
@KoTowaty What are you on about? This isn't an FPS game, FPS = First Person Shooter, the game has a tiny aspect on shooting, it's no where near classed as an FPS game.
hey watuh i got a tip i want you to try in the office a quicker route is to climb up to where the game leads you BUT instead of shooting out the glass in front of you ya shoot out the glass right above it
the guy who you punch off at 6:49 - is he always there each run through? i bet it's not random, but did kind of look like that. ;-) also, can you run past him, or is it easier to punch him off?
Took me about an hour and a half to do this chapter today, including restarts, pausing and what not. :D How many times is 'damn too long'? What am I lookin at here? this is great by the way...what a game!
Every time i play this level and get to the jump at 0:27 , it just remains in slow motion and faith walks REALLY slowly . I have the normal version of this game and phys x is turned off, so do i need to patch to 1.01 and get a crack or will that screw up aswell?
@TheWezel1995 What console are you playing it on? Because on some there is a SlowMotion button that makes everything slower...maybe your pressing that?

OKay, I'm back, that was a good run. I used to do parkour and free running. Watching this has really inspired to start doing it again.
Is it me or the vent in this game remind me of Garfield
PG 2004 ‧ Comedy/Family ‧ 1h 20m when he try to climb through the vent.
I just wish that you could see all this in third person! Parkour looks so cool, and Mirror's Edge barely lets you see it. All the same, it's pretty neat to watch when you plummet down a ridiculous drop.
I love mirrors edge
Hmm, yeah true.

Ahh, thank you! Your route through the scaffolding saved my life :D
These old videos make me laugh. This is before ANYONE knew about the fast routes.
Indeed
You are officially awesome incarnate in this thing
Look at the distance between the 2 buildings. He probably was her flying through the air on one of his monitors, and was shocked.
@TheD1ddler I noticed that. But it's a little odd that Faith never has to stop and open it that way...
@evan3452 Ha ha, No... The latch is not what keeps the door from opening a certain way, it's that thing in the center of the door frame that stops the door. And on city buildings like these where they're made to keep people out, you're not gonna break it by sprinting into it.
at 2:08 there is a shortcut , there is way to actually get on the top floor from there.
I lovmirrors edge
Again. A very nice run!! Great job!
yeah, I had that problem quite a few times, in this case you want to turn and jump as quickly as possible after you start the wall climb.

that's an awesome speedrun mate, great job.
This game had zero replay value for me, but watching people race through the levels with their forms down to a science is still pretty awesome.
hes good......makes me want to play through this game again
awesome!!! I laughed so hard when you punched the guard off of that platform.
god dan, they rlly exageratted on the speed runs
u did a perfect, clean run, and it was still less than 1 minute from limit
6:48 Made me spit out my milkshake onto the keyboard. I was laughing soooooo hard, I choked and almost blacked out.
there is a way to improve, when you get out of the vents after the big guy(don't remember his name), pick up the pistol and shoot the two first panes of glass that you must break as you are running towards it, this is good for the second pane of glass because you don't have to stop running.
Thanks dude. By no means a perfect run but it's manageable even for rookie players. Kudos to you ;)
great run. at 6:35 just wallrun, turn, and jump to save time.
This game made me rage so hard that I dented the couch arm and returned the game.
@JB1ist it only happens on pirated copies of the game, or if the system thinks you have copied it.
if they made the whole city an open world that you can do parkour on every building the game wouldve been awesome.
When you drop down through the vent grab ropeburn's gun. Then run to the top of the giant red thingamy's and shoot out the windows above the ones you jump through. Then you can run up the wall turn and jump into then. Cuts out like 30 seconds :)
That riot cop at 6:49 is my favorite in the whole game.
I keep getting shot on the crane and it throws me off. Died on it and was just 5 seconds over the limit when I jumped from it the 2nd time. Dammit.
faith never cracks her knuckles by me
theres that infamous crane to crane jump.
can u imagine someone doing that with nothing setup (meaing the cranes werent put there they jsut so happen to be liek that during the run)
"Did you just do what I think you did? Goddammit girl, I just spilt my Joe all over the keyboard."
"A cup of Joe" = Coffee.
Respect...18.11.2008...i think the release day...one of the first speed runs
Thanks man! I did it in 7:48:47 Thanks for the help dude! :-)
Okay, I have to take a break from watching these. Because now I am seriously itching to go running. Tootles.
Well done Watuhboy, i just have speedruns to make then i have all the achievements, i cant make it work, haha, i always make some mistake at the end and clock goes over the time.
6:35 you can view flip and jump here. Much faster than getting on top then turning around. Fantastic work otherwise, you taught me a few things. :)
awesome run man!
6:49 hahah i was laughed here XD i'm "bnorrow" his weapon, and use it, so you were very brutal xp
5/5, you're perfect and help me, I can't end this lvl.
@zombiecancer888 Ths game IS awesome..and it's about 3 quid now pre-owned so if you never played it, get on it! There is literally nothing else like it, not that I have ever seen anyhow! A true OG...and a bloody good one. 3 hour gaming limit though..due to motion sickness kicking in :D
Run as close to the wall as you can at good speed and near the edge, click the jump button. That should get you running on the wall and reach the other side
6:50 made me laugh hard, poor swat person
I tried this point many times, I don't know why it the games slows down when I get to this chapter ????
that poor man at 6:49 had his life ahead of him
This chapter is soo hard, and you just did it like slower then i did, and beat it.
How the hell do you grab the gun like that :((((
This game was so much fun!
hm wow..i pretty much use the same route and i got 12 my first time haha. just got to get it perfect then eh. thanks for these uploads man
Bioshock 2 looks like a fun game but the lil dolls/girls dad is like the Corroder in Clock Tower 3
Mines less than a week old, there was no loading time during any of this level apart from the start.
6:50 Freakin hillarious xD LOL
if you die on speedrun when It starts you on the last checkpoint does it put the time where it was when you got to that point.
The previous message was directed at Jowhaan.
Thanks for the help! Just got 7:57:34 XD
6:47 OWNED!
This is really helpful. Thanks a lot :)
It may be worthwhile to point out here that my console is about two years old, I got it in march '06
just a few .223 and .50 shells in my back, I can still do acrobatics.
One thing I hate about Mirror's Edge is that if you make one small move, you fucked up.
FaMouScEclipse is now famous
7:26 That is beautiful in slowmotion lol
yes i would highly reccomend it.
@MalachiteR ...By sprinting into them. Which was explained before. :D
your right. its a run on the roof tops!
@KoTowaty What are you on about? This isn't an FPS game, FPS = First Person Shooter, the game has a tiny aspect on shooting, it's no where near classed as an FPS game.
at 2:08 you can just walljump up to the other floor and break the glas, that would save alot of time.
if that's the case, I recommend you get on xbox live immediately and do this run, as the world record is 7:08, only 11 seconds faster then mine.
Dude this vid is awesome especially when u punched that guy off
has anyone ever gone through the game without picking up a gun? i tried and made it all the way to the final level and had to pick one up.
ea just anouced that they are still working on mirrors edge 2!!
wow you good. I gotta learn how to run like that lol
feels like parkour
I got Test of Faith. It is possible. You just hit the glass with the arms or legs, and that's it.
@TehJonno i meant FPP...
I'd pass out if I ran this hard
hey watuh i got a tip i want you to try
in the office a quicker route is to climb up to where the game leads you BUT instead of shooting out the glass in front of you ya shoot out the glass right above it
i never noticed it before, but none of the doors in this game open towards you,
with those skills robbery is no risk
I've been stuck on this level for like 3 days!!!How was I supposed to know that you could break the glass?
i learned the trick but i cant break it and go i shoot it and wallrun it
at 0.57 do you jump to get on the swingy bar after pressig lb and rb because every time i try i go over the bar and miss it
why does it go so slow on my game
I wanted to download this game without being in pieces
Yeah, hé's right, The gun is lying at the desk just after the vid. So... It'll be 8 seconds faster or something!!!
why does my game alow down when i do something wrong?
i just can get out of the offices.
the guy who you punch off at 6:49 - is he always there each run through? i bet it's not random, but did kind of look like that. ;-) also, can you run past him, or is it easier to punch him off?
They really like their plumbing out in the open don't they?

if you leave her standing there for a minute she will. she can also pick at her fingernails
yeh if you wall run and then turn and then jump its perfec
haleemabee, you should look for the walkthrough of this chapter then. This is speedrun and it's much harder and faster.
Its because you downloaded a torrent or some other hacked version. Its a security "feature" of the game. It knows you have a hacked version.
why does my game slow down?
@TheWezel1995 What console are you playing it on? Because on some there is a SlowMotion button that makes everything slower...maybe your pressing that?
