Brink Reviews Go Live, A Mixed Bag – The Full Quencher

Brink releases in the U.S. today, and the reviews for the game has gone live. What’s the verdict? Well although some sites managed to rate the game high, a good few scored it low, while some others cursed it.

“Nonetheless, Brink is an exceptional team shooter, smart, supremely well balanced and with a unique, exciting art style. Splash Damage struggles to ease the player into its workings – evidence, perhaps, of the studio’s background creating free mods for hardcore Quake players, who never needed much hand-holding,” said Eurogamer.

“But the clean menus and HUD have a slickness and simplicity of interaction that elevate the squad-shooter genre to a new level of style and polish. Likewise, in moment-to-moment play, this is often a more engaging, tighter experience than Valve’s Team Fortress 2. For those who can leap that first hurdle, Brink should run and run.”
