Title: Brink Discussion
Post by: Rory on May 11, 2011, 10:01:18 PM

What do you think about it?

I think the style of parkouring/shooting is pretty awesome.


Lots of customization and weapons. I love the abilities you can buy also.

Some bugs, and maybe not a lot of maps. I like it though, i continue to play it.

I love the game but the reviews for it have been all over the place.

I've been waiting for a decent team-based shooter for a while and this definately hits the spot, the gameplay is skillfull and you can't just spray to get a kill. The SMART| system is nowhere near as gimmicky as I thought it might be and fits in perfectly making movement across the maps feel fluid.

The classes work well although I reckon things will improve once everyone has access to the full array of abilites and begins to learn the classes.

Overall I'd say Brink is an awesome multiplayer game with a rather odd yet quite enjoyable single player stapled on.

Well it's not your standard awesome set-piece blockbuster CoD singleplayer (which I love tbh). It's pretty much multiplayer matches (they're the same maps) with bots and some cutscenes in-between, although you can make it so the single player "missions" are played with and against real people which is fun although that pretty much just makes it a multplayer match. I wouldn't say it completely sucks balls but it's nothing great, not worth buying for single player alone.

Multiplayer is where the game is at.

Alright, thanks for the info. I'm downloading a pirated verision right now. Gonna play through singleplayer and then buy the real game

Yeah, that's what I did.

I'm enjoying it a lot at the moment. How long it holds my attention will be the real test.
