Think for Yourself, Not all reviews are unbiased
The hype before the release made me keep an eye on this game, but as time passed, I read more and more about fumbled expectations and word of mouth reviews saying not to waste the cash, while some reviews were right, all I can say is, I enjoyed it and at 5.00, its not really much of a gamble. I played through and replayed again and again, why? the story may stay the same, but it does its job, it entertains and keeps me focused and immersed into something when I need to step away a gaggle of prepubescent teenagers raging and mouthing off on XBOX Live when I'm trying to enjoy a good match with friends.
Playing through the Solo Campaign offline is a nice break, the AI is pretty challenging as you increase the difficulty settings in game and they offer a nice way to hone skills and develop "on the fly" strategies for other games and sessions, so even if you don't end up a fan of the game, you'll have a cheap trainer on your shelf, if you ever start feeling a bit rusty :)
The whole set up can be a bit confusing, switching through bumper menus, deciding objectives and setting up custom matches. The upside to the confusion, plenty of customizable areas, from weapons to appearance. The replay is quite decent, provoking you to replay missions and challenges to raise EXP and unlock more options. The weapon choices are varied, some weapons feeling completely under powered and frustrating to have in a firefight, especially when things get hectic, while other weapons apply damage with a serious kick.
The recharge rate for grenade and other throwaways takes a little getting used to, but, the ability assigned to each class, like being able to replenish your ammo ( Soldier Class ) with the press of a button makes up for that .
All and all, The game is worth it and at 5.00 its a good deal.

Good for some gamers
this game is good once you play it.iwould not recomend it for hardcore gamers though.it is definetly different in a good way because their are different abilitys weapons and attatchments. it is not a lot of money for a fan of first person shooters.But unless you are a big fan of Brink i would not reccomend the DLC pack.i hope you like the game

NO
This game sucks. You can barely get a mission done. Every two seconds you die. And i'm not even talking about online. You could be the best FPS player ever and this game will make you rage quit. I don't hate a lot of games but this one definitely sucks. Please do not die this game for the sake of your own money. please.

Great game
This is a great game I really don't see why everybody gives it bad reviews they always bash the multiplayer for having tons of lag but even if anyone has a problem with the online co-op the campaign is still great and will bring you hours of fun along with plenty of challenge to it as well the game at first will have odd feeling controls at first but you will get used to it this game is different in a good way which makes it very unique. My final verdict Go buy it!

Good Weapon Customization
Cons-
Muddy Textures
EXTREMELY repetitive dialogue, expect to hear "MULTIPLE ENEMIES SPOTTED!!!" A bazzilion times
Stupid AI
Lack luster story
Two story lines that are THE SAME EXACT THINGS
Please fellow gamers. Don't but this game.

pretty good game for 10 dollars
kind of has a borderlands graphics. its team objective game...I cant stress that enough.. with the classes it has a team fortress feel. I had to change the controls, but other than that I would really give it a chance... its a refreshing break from call of duty and halo.

Okay game for the price
This game is like a training game for online shooters. The campiagn is just a versus mode against bots and on your team are bots. Either no one plays the game or I just haven't figured out how to join a game online.Brink would be more if I could figure out how to join a game online.

Overall decent game.
Graphics- Could be better but perfect for the game.
Gameplay- Really interesting and fun gameplay that keeps you coming back for more. ( Players of Battlefield, Mirror's Edge, and Syndicate will feel at home. )
Sound- Has some issues on occasion but overall is great.
Lasting Appeal- After beating the two campaigns and buying the DLC for the game(beating that as well) the game gets boring.
My Opinion- If you are into Mirror's Edge and/or Battlefield/Syndicate I would put this on your list of games to get, especially due to the low price.

Definitely not bad as everyone seems to say.
Do me a favor and please ignore all reviews that say this is a bad game without any basis for saying so. If you dislike a game then fine, but give reasons for hating so others have something to think about. Now that I'm done with my little rant I can talk about the game. I really enjoy this game. I especially love the variety of ways you can customize your character and weapons. It's really challenging, and the graphic are pretty bad, but I've never been the kind of person to dis a game just because of poor graphics. I will would tell my friends to give this a try especially since there is a low risk because of the low price
