Concept:
Brink is an FPS with a cool movement system that encourages the player to stay mobile while fighting while this sounds good in concept in execution some things seem to have been lost, the maps really don't feel any different from those of Killzone and so this whole movement system just seems to be lost and useless where as in other fps jumping would allow for the same mobility but brink does it better and this is really only a minor annoyance and the parkour allows for some pretty fun takedowns by tossing a grenade at your feet then jumping over the railing and things like that
Gameplay:
this is where I think that Brink sets itself apart from other shooters of today where games like cod and Battlefield just kind of tell you "go here, shoot him, take flag, go home" brink lets you decide what to do you can pick your objective through a radial menu by pressing the middle mouse button and this can lead to some pretty cool times where 2-3 of your team mates pick the same objective you feel like a couple of badasses as you actually do what you set out to do and win the whole damn game, or you can be a medic sprinting around and picking up said "badasses" after they nearly get themselves killed and so on and so forth the way brink plays out REALLY encourages teamwork if played correctly
Summary (for now, at least til I play some more) :
if you are a fan of fast paced shooters and don't mind a little bit of stupid deaths and some rather annoying sound issues (that i hear will be fixed very soon) Brink is most definitely worth your time though tbh you might want to rent it if your a console player because this game will appeal to a select group of people and will be either an "I love it!" or "I F**KING hate it" game for most people
and much like guacamole it will be hard to find someone who only "kinda sorta likes it but doesn't hate it"
EDIT: OH wow forgot to give it a score well now I am thinking this is a solid 7/10 with room for improvement if the issues get fixed, also seeing as this is my first blog just let me know if there is any info that you want that i didn't provide and I am thinking of doing this regularly with either all new games I get or even going back and reviewing some classics
