<p>Hollywood is known to have an appalling track record of adapting video games into the film. They can&#8217;t seem to stop regurgitating out films that barely resemble the video game is based on. Out of the 38 live-action video game movies produced, only one, <a href="https://bagogames.com/bagocast-ep-5-sonic-the-hedgehog-2020-review/">Sonic The Hedgehog movie</a>, reaches the amazing heights of being a good fun movie. Honestly, how hard is it to follow the established formula provided by the game? Well, let&#8217;s find out if Mirror&#8217;s Edge could potentially join Sonic The Hedgehog.</p>
<p>The game takes place in a &#8220;utopia&#8221; city that is heavily controlled by corporations and government. You take control of Faith Connors. A runner that acts as a messenger for clients that want to bring down the current system. Things go colossally sideways; when her sister, Kate Connors, is framed for murdering a candidate for mayor. The only clue Faith has is a torn paper from the dead candidate&#8217;s diary with the words, Project Icarus, written on it. Faith is running against time before her sister is charged with murder and figure out the mysterious Project Icarus is.</p>
<p>Mirror&#8217;s Edge was released back in 2008. The game experimented with platforming by having the game view from a first-person perspective. They didn&#8217;t stop there; they incorporated parkour mechanics for the players to traverse the environment. Creating a unique game that was incredibly fun to play. Despite the positive feedback, Mirror&#8217;s Edge did not sell well. However, maybe Mirror&#8217;s Edge can find a new home with films?</p>
