Damien Walters and Livewire have teamed up to create a very unique ‘choose your own adventure’ style freerunning game on YouTube.
To play, just pick your person and then pick their moves as they work their way through the city. Since freerunning/parkour are impressive on their own, adding in a bit of choice makes it even more fun to watch:
By now you’ve probably heard of Mirror’s Edge, the free running/parkour game that is soon to debut for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
However, if you’d like to get in on the action a little early, then check out Mirror’s Edge 2D from Borne Games.
Made by the same people that created the Fancy Pants Adventure, Mirror’s Edge 2D is a free flowing Flash game that closely mirrors the gameplay style of Mirror’s Edge, only in 2D.
The goal is to run, jump, climb and slide your way through the level in a quick but creative way, collecting points and other goodies along the way.
Right now the game is still only in Beta, so you only get one level, and there still might be the occasional bug or two, but there’s definitely promise here, and it’s still fun to play as is, so head on over and give free running a chance.
Ok, so Rabbit and Nimrod’s explanation of parkour was a little sarcastic. This clip, from Forrest and Dan, is a little better look at the “sport” that is parkour.
