My BRINK Review.

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:20 am

I recently picked up Brink, I thinks its a Good Game. The Customization is Wicked, The Challenges are fun, SMART...Need I say more?, Also the relativity between Multiplayer and Singleplay.

Imagine Brink as Borderlands and Team Fortress 2 made sweet love. Brink would be their Child. It FPS based souly on Objective based MP. 2 Teams of 8 play each other on different Maps.
The Ark's Security and the Resistance, Brink's Objective based Multiplayer will require one of each Classes to complete the on-the-fly Objectives. Unfortunatley your AI Team Mates in Solo
are slow, non-supportive and stupid, So Your best bet is to find People to play. But The Smart system is designed perfectly giving it a more Mirror's Edge touch...But with more Gun-Play.
For every action is a Experience Reward which grants access to the Unlockable, There are Tons to unlock which give it a good score.
Pros: Teamwork is Key, Sweet Unlocks.
Cons: Very Stupid AI.
8/10 for Gameplay.

Splash Damage's biggest challenged was making a Story, Did they succeed? Kinda, Though it does tell you why the Resistance if fight the Arks Security.
The World is desgined great to fits the SMART System which is a plus. For the first Hour or two of playing none of the Character's caught my eye meaning
I wasn't able to get into the Story. The Missions are long and difficult which makes it sometimes damn near impossible to complete a Mission because the
Poor AI on your Side.
Pros: Awesome World Design.
Cons: Story isn't there, No Inspiring Characters.
5/10 for Story.

Brink is certainly stylistic a unique and colourful world. Technically however, its not up to par, As Bethesda promises a Day One patch for these Problems,
The Game is suffering from Texure Pop-In. Although, The Level Design aspect was stunning on how easy it was to Navigate the Map with no Mini-Map
at all. This is helped by your Choice of Objective, Landmarks and Iconic Imagery to reinforce your sense of Natural Direction.
Pros: Stylistic, Great Mapo Design.
Cons: Texture Pop-In.
7/10 for Graphics.

Brink is a great Game no matter how you Play it, Its stunning Visuals and Gameplay makes this Game everything Good. I will Admit there are some Downsides
but every Game has them. I rate this Game 8.5/10, And Thats the Bottom Line Cause Stone Cold Said SO!
