New Time-Trial Maps Coming to Mirror's Edge 22
Kotaku reports that Mirror's Edge will be getting downloadable content in January which contains several new time-trial maps (seven for the Xbox 360 version, eight for PS3). "The freedom of movement and control in first person has been the most popular aspect of Mirror's Edge so we decided to distill these down to their purest form for this map pack," says Owen O'Brien, Senior Producer, DICE. "We deliberately chose a more abstract aesthetic that is still within our distinctive art style and then focused on flow and gameplay to create an experience and challenge very different from the main game." There's a video demo for the new maps available as well.

I love this game. I like the approach they took here as well - I guess it'd have been too expensive to produce fully textured city levels like in the game, so they just went ahead and produced textureless levels, but lots of them. Looking forward to tryint it out.
