Fun but requires a much better story

Ah yes BRINK. When I first heard of it I had little excitement but then I saw a lets play and decided to get it. What I got was fun but needed something more in several ways.

Story:

BRINK takes place in the future when most of the world is flooded but humanity lives on the Ark. Unfortunately a war is starting up between the Resistance and Security. You are given a choice between the two and depending on your choice you gain different mission objectives. The campaign takes place over six days per side with two what if missions. The story in the end fails due to the fact that its multiplayer levels with cutscenes. But the audio logs add something

Gameplay:

BRINK controls like Call of Duty with the way you use your weapons (except for the grenade launcher attachment which acts like a normal grenade) but it has something different. S.M.A.R.T which stands for Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain in which your character uses Parkour. In the end you'll use for speed. BRINK also has four classes. Soldier: a walking ammo pile who is useful for blowing thing up . Medic: who is the healer and is useful when you do the human escort missions. Operatives: who can take the form of dead enemies and hack. and finally Engineers: who can build mines and turrets and are useful for bot escorts and repairing. Each class is useful and you can swap by going to a command post. BRINK also has an excellent customization system for your characters and guns. But colors are limited for the sides for the characters and you have to beat challenges for the guns. Also weapon usage is limited to the three body types Light: fast but weak. Medium: the in the middle one. and Heavy: strong but slow.

Multiplayer:

Only put here because the multiplayer has lag online but can be fun with a friend.

Graphics/Sound:

The graphics suffer from very bad pop-ups but I really like the way the worlds of the Ark is designed. The sound is good with the guns sounding good and the voice acting being okay.

Overall:

BRINK is fun but lacks a good story so if you want don't pay a penny over 40$.
