Brink
4In Brink's single-player campaign, you can choose to be among the rebels (seeking to escape the evidently doomed Ark) or the authority enforcers (seeking to restore law and order on the Ark), and then youll create your character. There are a ton of customization options but besides the body type, theyre all purely cosmetic. But the bottom line is that the campaign feels a lot like any multiplayer match; theres a story, but you still play on maps, you still have objectives which quickly get crazy repetitive, by the way and after playing for a while, I found little difference between playing the campaign or playing online. Free Play is a nice option but its not really enough, despite the customization and freedom. Essentially, theres just no reason to play this for the storyline and itd be a mistake to assume the campaign is anything like normal campaigns, distinctly separate from standard online map play. Plus, there are only 8 total maps and 4 Challenge maps so youve seen everything there is to see in a short span of time, regardless of the mode you choose. The addition of classes adds some much-needed depth and might almost save the game depending on your tolerance of the other issues due to the unique abilities. Soldiers, Medics and Engineers are all important and all can assist your team with crucial buffs. Medics can toss syringes that restore your health or get you back on your feet, Soldiers have grenades and can give teammates ammo, and Engineers can place mines and turrets. There are quite a few other abilities, too. Thats really the best part of Brink; that and the all-human action. I say that because the AI is just plain mediocre and in the so-called campaign, your computer counterparts will screw things up more often than not. You really need to play with friends to get anything out of the game, and it really doesnt matter if you choose to follow the story or not. But even then, the problems dont go away, as the repetitiveness of the objectives remain, the less-than-inspired technical presentation is typically forgettable, the SMART system isnt always perfect, and there just arent enough maps. I should also mention that since the PSN came back, Ive experienced plenty of lag in my sessions. Not sure if that's a problem for others, though. Brink is just one of those games that doesnt deliver on what it promises. I must emphasize that there isnt anything broken about the game (with the possible exception of the stupid AI), and the mechanics on which the game is built tend to work quite well. But with a slew of little problems, a bunch of repetition, a campaign that isnt anything like a campaign (lets face it; this is a multiplayer game only), and lacking environmental variety, its tough to recommend. There are other games out there.

Good shooter
4Brink has its own builds and effective classes, much more so than COD or BF2. Maps are all colourful but a little bit small, which doesn't matter that much in my opinion. If you find good team mates, then this game is worth so much more than its price.

Poor game
1This is one of those game that you play for fun but not for gameplay . For me it was a waste of time because i'm one of those gamers that put accent on gameplay and this game has gameplay 0 , full of bugs and poor sound effects etc.

Great
4This seems to have been criminally ignored by the masses. Good action, good graphics, some genuine innovation (not a word you can apply to many FPS games). Plenty of fun to be had with it. Absolute bargain at the current prices. I would have been happy paying a lot more for it.
