As far as the game goes, the graphics are nice.... too nice. There is just something off about an enviroment in game that doesn't seem to have the least bit of grime, or dirt anywhere. It's a little off putting to me and makes the game seem too constructed (perhaps a little bit of the uncanny valley in enviroments?).
Alot of this can be explained away as art direction, but it still comes off as way too clean almost as if those scrubbing bubbles guys whitewashed the entire Mirror's Edge world.

It's set in a false utopia - on the surface everything is fine and dandy and everyone is happy, but scratch the surface and you'll realise it's actually a dystopia - hence how clean everything is.
Everything looks nice, and everything is clean, but no one has any freedom. This is where you, the player, comes in: it's your role to get messages to people without the Government finding out.
