Brink

I was following everything leading up to this game's release. It looked really promising to me. I'm really suprised that it was received as a mediocre game by critics. Everyone seems to say the same thing. Apparently, the choices they offer don't change the gameplay enough, the objectives are repetitive, and there aren't enough maps to keep it interesting. I'm kinda bummed out. I had a lot of high hopes for this one Though, critics have been wrong before.....

Did anyone buy this one at release?
