Gamers with an online posse who have bonded in bulletstorms on other first-person shooters and now use Xbox Live as their virtual playground will be salivating at the prospect of getting their teeth into Brink.

Forget single player action, multiplayer is where it’s at in this tremendous tactical shooter that demands teamwork.

Dynamic battlefields plus incredible character class and appearance customisation mean you really can decide the role you want to assume in this gorgeous sci-fi world, but to get the most of the Brink experience, you’ll need to invest some serious online time.

Sure, you can play it alone with bots for team members, and that’s fun, but why not go for the full monty?

Games should be experienced at their very best and Brink is a totally unique shooter, if you’ve got your own human multiplayer network.

Rating 4/5
