Apparently, the new game “Mirror’s Edge” by EA is creating quite the stir… in people’s stomachs. According to this article Mirror’s Edge, a game set in a distopian future with a Snowcrash-like plot is a first person video game where you (as the courier) are frequently attempting to outrun “the man”.
As Faith, the courier, you only see your legs, arms, and torso on screen. Mirror’s Edge differs from the standard first-person video games allowing for a full range of motion. The player can maneuver freely with moves like somersaults, shimmying across ledges, sliding under low objects and running up walls. Additionally, the game is brightly colored and realistic.
Evidently this new free-range of motion style action is so fast paced it’s making people literally sick. Cases of vomiting have been reported.
