Brink

This game is looking pretty amazing so far.
The graphics and art style look great.
The gameplay looks very fluid and precise, especially with the parkour button that they've implemented.
The customization looks really great too, you can customize your character, your class, and your weapons. No more looking the same as the rest of your team.
The main reason why this is what the FPS genre needs though is how it encourages teamwork as opposed to being a lone wolf. You get specific missions just for you that give you experience points and aid you team, and the game is basically built so that if you stick with your team you will do much better than by yourself.
Everybody should go check this game out.

Brink is truly an immersive game that encourages teamplay, and is an experience like no other.
However, although the free-running and gunning style of the game is unique, it becomes hard to use it whilst performing other objectives, and the limited maps give slightly repetitive gameplay.
I would recommend renting it before buying, because even though I found it to be fast-paced, adrenaline fuelled fun, others may see it as in a different perspective.

Brink has certainly become a niche game, and I often have to find myself recommending people rent it first… Because responses have been fairly split down the middle; people will either REALLY love it, or be REALLY disappointed.

A lot of the negative feedback can basically be put down to “it's not <insert generic shooter name here>”, Brink will be wildly different to any other console shooter experience you will ever have had, with a totally different approach to gameplay… And a learning curve to match. The game is full of new and out of the ordinary design choices for an FPS, something a lot of people are struggling to accept. Save for the odd, to-be-expected, and usually ignorable bugs (there is some Borderlands-esque texture pop in), there are some legitimate concerns and worries:

• Lack of a straightforward lobby. The current system is fine for casual drop-in, drop-out play, but it's difficult to maintain any form of organisation with large groups of players.
• Unreliable match-making. I believe it works off ping, and never seems to connect you with anybody who will give you less than a 95% full bar… This means that you'll find games full of people, about as frequently as having to play solo against bots until somebody else joins a match or two later.
• Terrible friendly AI when playing solo. The developers have toned down the intelligence of bots on your team so that they don't “steal your thunder”, which makes solo runs and the challenges incredibly difficult. Both friendly & enemy AI can be balanced evenly, however, by selecting “Versus” rather than “Co-Op” or “Solo” – you have to be connected online to access this option, but can still play privately.

These are most commonly discussed issues this game suffers. If they'll be patched, who knows- Despite this, what the game does well, it does VERY well. If you're like me, then Brink just pushes all the right buttons, and the good elements of the game overshadow the bad and make it an overall incredibly enjoyable game to play.

• Gorgeous art style and overall appearance, with beautifully-designed maps and simple UI/HUD.
• Some of the best character appearance customisation you'll see on a PS3 game, let alone a shooter.
• Respectable range of weapons, and great weapon customisation to tinker with them to your liking.
• Balanced rank, classes & skills system.
• Clear differences between the three body weights; Light, Medium & Heavy, each with their own pros/cons.
• Revolutionary SMART movement system, that opens up the environment to exploitation as a tactical element… More so than any other shooter I've seen. Playing other FPS games after experiencing SMART, they just feel so lacking and sub-par.
• Objective-heavy gameplay, usually with a multitude of tasks available for the various classes to pursue in order to open up tactical opportunities or advantages to their team.
• Objective-heavy gameplay, without sacrificing the fun of fragging. Even for a game with only 8 players a side, it can get so fast-paced and chaotic that I've had some 75+ kill games.

Brink requires a large leap of faith when coming from other, more familiar shooters, and isn't without flaws. It really does come down to how much you enjoy the good elements, in order to outweigh or help you deal with the bad or confusing. But if the above listed reasons sound exactly like what you look for in a shooter, then Brink may be your new favourite game.

Good game, not enough players online to enjoy it properly.
