Well my birthday's coming up and being a bit low on cash I was hoping for a game or two as gifts (or getting money to buy a game or two) but I'm having difficulty deciding if Brink is worth the time and effort of asking for/buying. I realize that reviews should not affect a person's opinion but with the general public so broken up about it I really can't decide. It seems it has a decent following but I'm not sure if, beyond the customization, it's worth it.
I can't rent it in my area (for some odd reason) so it's either a buy or pass at this point. I'm all for a nearly entirely online game but if that game is inherently broken then I really don't see the point in owning it.
I'd like some feedback from people that have played the game on whether they feel like the game is worth the money or if there is more worthwhile products out there. Only game I've gotten in a while is Portal 2 so anything other than that that was released this year would also be good as a recommendation if Brink isn't to your liking.
EDIT: 360 is the system I'm mainly playing on.
EDIT 2: I've pretty much decided not to try and get it. Any game recommendations (outside of RTS, Sports, or Racing) for the 360 that came out this year would still be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 3: This used to be in the advice forum but I guess it was a little too borderline between the two so it was moved. Fine with me though. I opened it up a little more for better discussion value.
