mirror's edge third-person hack

One cool thing about PC games in this age of console giants is the possibilities of hacking games to reveal interesting new features or add crazy new options to a game. There is often a lot more room with a title's PC version for funky innovations and downloadable game changers. The latest of these PC game hacks is for Mirror's Edge and it allows a third-person vantage point not available in the game while disabling the camera's up-down function. Mixed reviews of this hack complain that it removes the suspense and momentum of the game's action, plus the model and her movements of course look pretty bunk, not having been designed to ever be actually seen. Still, it's cool that innovations like this happen and I think it drives the buzz of the online gaming community in a good way. Check out the Mirror's Edge third-person action in this video:
