I honestly love the concept of this game, and when playing it, I just KNEW there was a gem in there. The gameplay is definitely there for me...
But the launch really was just atrocious. Never before did my system have trouble running any game I wanted it too, but Brink just REFUSED for me to play. I literally couldn't play it without making the game look like ass, and even then, crashes were common for me. It left a bad taste in my mouth, but the worst thing about it all is that the time I was able to actually just play the game...was very fun. It was just that I was barely able to play ;__;
I guess I'm one of the few that found Bionic Commando to be surprisingly fun. The grappling system is definitely more skill-based than Spider-Man, so I think that's what makes it so fun to play. The multiplayer can be fun as well if you play it in short bursts.
The story did blow hard, but I don't really mind, BC has always been one of those kinds of games you can disregard the story in (shame it took itself so seriously though, unlike Rearmed). For all the faults though, the one other thing that saved this game from being junk is Steven Blum. GREATEST VOICE ACTOR EVER.

Bionic Commando, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite 'underperform' in the west
