Generally, this is a more polished version of the first game. Everything has been refined and made better, with interesting new abilities and tools at your disposal. The one area that just fell off was the level design, which sucks because that's what made the first games of parkour so great. A lot of the time, there is only one real path to take to get to the objective, unlike the first game. This makes you take the same path every time, making the game a lot more stale than it should be. It really hurts the whole experience especially as it's an open-world game, where you expect it to be a lot more creative with its path taking. The story still isn't anything special and that's expected, but all the atmosphere is still there and in full effect. Although still a fun experience and more great Mirror's Edge, the lack of a great map takes the experience down a notch and makes this game a worse sequel.
