It is horrible. Played it at my brothers house for a bit. Just really laggy and unstable. I have no idea how they could release basically an online only game in this state. I was hoping for a console TF2 clone since the actual console TF2 is horrible.

I have several friends that own it, and none of them are really crazy about the game. I am glad I skipped it.

Good to know. After getting burned by Homefront, I learned my lesson when thinking about buying these games that look cool but no one is talking about, even after release.

AFter spending a couple hours playing it yesterday,.. and from what I can tell beating the campain on the restistance side, the game is pretty fun. It is pretty close to TF2, however I hated, HATED TF2 and couldn't get into it. This game I have enjoyed so far, even though it looks to be a short one like Homefront. I plan to play on the other side today, and we'll see how that goes.
Like others, I was kind of hoping for a Borderlands type game, but this is nothing like it.

Spent a few more hours, and beat the other sides campain. Also did the "what-if" missions, and most of the challenges and a couple of them in 3 star. Overall I like Brink. Its a fun shooter that is short, but something I may hang onto for a while. If you want a quick and fairly easy 500 acheivement points this is one you can do it in 2 days with. Not worth $50 or $60 bucks, but definatly something I wouldn't hesitate spending $30 on.
