Reminds me of that one review where they forgot to play Chromehounds online.

" This review was actually embarrassing. Jeff just stick to what you know. Borderlands and Mortal Kombat. If you really want to review the game then let it be late and play the game with other people not stupid bots. Wait for the Call Of Duty crowd to disappear (usually about a week), then play with people who know about teamwork.Like I said earlier. Plain embarrassing. "

How do you figure? Every complaint he's layed to the game are all valid and he gives reasons for it. "

All the complaints are not valid.And the ones he gives reasons for are ridiculous as the reasons can be applied to every other shooter out there.Basically , this review is horrible.  The game is tons of fun, has sucked many hours of gameplay out of me and will continue to get my gaming time.  Parkour, objective based gamplay,  and customization combined with Amazing opponent AI leads to a fun FPS challenge for me and my friends.   "

This is a niche game for old enemy territory gamers looking for something new, old Quake Wars players coming over to Brink.
and hopefully some new players join in too.

Shame Jeff didn't like it, doesn't surprise me though.  (Talking about PC version though, dunno what version Jeff reviewed)

Good review (especially considering the quality of some of the reviews Brink got). I agree with some it but feel others are either subjective points (that will obviously differ from player to player) or things that can be fixed down the line. For example, I love the feel of the gun play and the sound design is awesome. The AI is incredibly inconsistent, but this isn't a game I bought for single player, and considering how good it is when it wants to be good it simply needs to be rebalanced. I'm happy with the amount of content, but I only paid £20 for the PC version. I'd say £30 would be acceptable to a certain degree, but I can understand critic's frustration for paying full-price for the console versions, especially when they're obviously far inferior to the PC version. Although the PC version has an inexplicable frame rate cap when you play offline, it's incredibly optimized and the server browser obviously makes it far easier to get into a good game. I'd definitely like Jeff to check out the PC version if possible, as it seems to be the best platform by far at the moment. 

" Worse game for me 2011 Rented it from gamefly thank God i did "

Man.... Bums me out that this is getting bad reviews... With the way UK development has gone (Bizarre, Realtime Worlds) I really hope this doesn't sink Splash Damage if it tanks...

This game should've always been PC only. The devs evidently aren't very good at making console ports, and the PC version is actually a decent game that only needs more content and polish. Hopefully DLC will provide that and keep at least a small community going.

I agree with Jeff's review.  This game is garbage.

Game isn't as good as expected even from a big W:ET and ET:QW. AND I HAVE THE ACHIEVEMENTS TO PROVE MY PLAYTHROUGH!

*PLOT SPOILERS* for Brink (Ha) 

Even Brinks most core narrative concepts are flawed at best, during the Brink video ad one soldier says "we must save the arc", thus meaning wipe out vagrants and the such from this idyllic setting. A masked rebel then morns "we must escape the arc", Ok, everybody still with me I hope. This DOESN'T make sense. Just let them leave and give the place a scrub down. 
With this poorly drawn plot (If Brink could be argued to have one) it falls down at the start of the race, and with only eight maps to play with it also seems to have its shoe laces tied together. 

Only played the game at last years Eurogamer expo & it seemed over hyped and unoriginal then. Bar its visual style, which I cannot fault and consider to be a gorgeous idealisation of what a Timesplitters game could look like had EA not closed Free Radical, albeit way wackier. Apologies for turning this supposedly well thought out criticism into a gush about Timesplitters, but what the fuck, Brink is a tedious and repetitive game with a tenth the flair of even the worst of the COD titles and half the assets. Initially interesting idea on single/multiplayer dynamic changes that simply appears nothing more than a lazy way to do half the work. 

The two things that brink does right are not the right things to enjoy longevity from a watered down team based team fortress clone. 

1. Its visuals, which I have already mentioned, but deserve another as they are pretty slick. 

2.Its parkour freedom of movement. This is a nice implementation and post mirrors edge seems to be taking off as a set FPS staple, but theirs even a pitfall in trying to applaud this game for something as simple as "borrowing" a descent game mechanic from another game. This being that once Brink has given you the versatility of movement and speed with which to navigate the environment in a kinetic and awsome way, it says you can only use these to run around a bland & uninspired level. Its like giving you the power of flight and then leashing you to a garden post. 

Well think thats enough rambling for one morning, thanks everyone.    

This game and RAGE remind me a lot of Borderlands.

Maye not in the gameplay area, necessarily, but in general look and theme, definitely.

yeah i agree with you guys, its a good game but the bots are terrible at catching objectives and the latency issues online (for the xbox at least) is poor.
Theres also a patch on the way and hopefully it will fix some of the issues...

Brink was incredibly disappointing!  All that waiting...

Yeah it may not be the most customizable out there but whats wrong with simple, it throws back to a team fortress system feel. I enjoy not having to worry about worrying about having to level class aspects up.

Been way too long since I've heard these 2 sweet voices! Love it.

I bought this game and immediately traded it in the next day. I cant stand this game.
