The mixed reviews it's gotten so far don't seem encouraging either. It's like the reviewers are too confused about it, or too worried to say they don't like it after all the attention it's gotten that they just say it confuses them and call it "weird". To me though it just sounds like Team Fortress 2 with a different graphic engine. I don't see what's weird or confusing about that. It's got single player, something that TF2 doesn't have and then it's a class based team shooter, that's not a new genre or anything. It's got crazy amounts of customization (though no females... which is lame) but once you get passed that.. you don't seem like you have anything special. Which I think people get about it, which is I think why I don't see people singing praises about it.

SMART is the first time, aside from Mirror's Edge, that parkour has been put in a FP game, let alone a multiplayer FPS.

When your in TF2, to climb over a box quickly may require a crouch jump that slows you down briefly over the box... or to go around it. In BRINK a single button press at a certain angle makes you vault the box in a single fluid motion, or you mantle off the side, or you just climb over it, or you climb on it then the next box over, and so on and so forth. For once, a Run-and-gun game focuses on the run as much as the gun.

And as I said, in-game females would either be realistic or be unrealistic. Unrealistic takes the grit of the game and spits on it with unrealistic bombshell girls that don't look like they could keep their balance running much less jumping up and down walls. Realistic women would disappoint the audience it's made for (Face it, gamer chicks by this point are more interested in the game. The audience a female option would appeal to is very lonely men.) by making them fit their surroundings... making them slightly musclebound with a feeling of tomboy and etc. etc. Plus as I said, yet again, they won't make women because the men alone take up 102 quadrillion different looks.
