A multiplayer-focused, class-based first-person shooter running on id Tech 4, in which oppressive soldiers and anarchistic terrorists battle for the few remaining resources on a failed paradise known as the Ark.
Looks like a C. to me at this point, SMART is a cool idea but the rest of the game looks like a first person shooter. There have been a lot of first person shooters.
It looks interesting, and seems to be a good original game with all the SMART stuff, compared to all the Call of Dutys, . Also it won't shift everyone who currently plays nothing but Blops over to it (though I don't necessarily want that, I like a nice community on my games). Only Call of Duty 8 will be able to get them to change game.
What is it with generic short names that don't say anything about what the game is? Brink, Breach, Blur etc. Seems like they all try to become the next Halo in terms of short generic name brand recognition. I prefer the Something of Something else school of thought like Gears of War, God of War, Call of Duty etc. At least that is telling me something about what the game is. To answer your question, I have no idea because the name is so forgettable I don't know what game it is. I first confused it with Breach.
EDIT: And even Halo had the "Combat Evolved" subtitle for the first game to tell people it was a shooter.

Also, GameBomb gave it 2.5 stars, Just Sayin'.

By GameBomb's rating scale that means its almost as good as Portal 2. And Portal 2 was the best thing I've played this year.
@EuanDewar: Yeah even the game director said that that is people's reaction when they first see the game.Anyone who has not played it will assume it is generic.It has a lot more going down under the hood you have to play it rather than assume SMART and customization is all that it offers.
@Smiley26: Who the hell goes to GameBomb that dumb russian troll rated it the same am Portal 2!Portal 2! Not to mention BRINK hasn't EVEN come out yet!How did he get a copy so early?I assume he didn't and just rated it based on his assumptions.Case and point I read the review and his main point is that he doesn't like the art style.....and that is why barely anyone goes there.
