Splash Damage

I laughed at the cruise ship correction. Maybe 5000 people is a bit low for a populated city after all. 50.000, the size of an average summer festival would make more sense perhaps. As for the rest, meh, in an age where mediocre death-match modern-war shooters rule, games like these definitely are fresh and original.

Automated line breaks ftl. Cheers. :)

I hate when people say, "The S.M.A.R.T system is basically the same as Assassin's Creed". No. Assassin's Creed is basically the same as Prince of Persia, because the whole movement thing is basically the whole game. If you're going to compare two games, compare two games with the same damned genre. You wouldn't compare Call of Duty's or Team Fortress' movement systems to Assassin's Creed, so don't compare Brink's to that either. If I'm considering buying Modern Warfare 2, then I don't give a toss about Assassin's creed, but I might consider Brink. Stupid. Bottom line: how, as a FPS (or team-based FPS if you want to be more refined), does Brink stack up against other FPSes that I might consider buying? How does the S.M.A.R.T system affect this? Can't you reviewers just get this RIGHT for once?! /rant
