Is it really that bad? Was looking to get this but now I'm contemplating between this and a few others. Hmmm.

$28.47 + $3.99 shipping....don't forget that. Title should read $32.46. PS3 and 360 is also under review from Amazon.

I enjoyed the game for its satisfying melee combat. Less so for the crummy RPG crap

I thought it was a pretty decent game, don't know why everyone here hates it.

Quite correct, but Brink never claimed GOTY.

I think these games should be called "lame-game of the year." lol

Amazon has it "under review" whatever that means. Probably a mistake or something.

It's an okay game.

I liked the combat system they had but I don't know the game got tedious after a point?
It's pretty fun if you have a good group of four though.

It's irritating as shit having to wait for someone because they're running around the island like and ass while the rest of the group is waiting for them to come back at the meet point to continue with the quests.

I was planning on buying this game but reading most of your post it seems like the game is utter shit O.o So I guess I won't buy it now.

This game is a snoorefest. The longer the game went on, the more it dragged. The melee combat is the only saving grace of the game, and it is completely uninspired. Pick it up when it is $10, it is really not worth much more.

No couch co op is a killer for me. Being a college student, I don't have many friends who have the same schedules as me or own an x box. Would love to play with the wife...but yeah...no couch co op. I heard single player was boring as shit so not even for that.

Wow - I loved this game. Didn't realize so many hated it! Didn't care for the final environment as much as the first couple - but definitely one of my favorites of last year.

The GOTY thing is just marketing. It's funny to see some people getting upset about it. Nerds will read into ing everything.

On a serious note, waiting for $20

At least with only GOTY win, the cover doesn't look like Arkham City's, right?

Touche'

I bit at $30 a couple days ago on Amazon. I had a giftcard from my birthday. I heard enough mixed reviews to be sufficiently intrigued.

Good game played solo. Didnt get to try coop which would have made it better imo. I enjoyed the story but it does get repetitive. Slicing zombies was a blast. No way this should be goty, complete edition or something along that line is fitting.

Sure it does. Just like all of those other games that magically end up getting GOTY editions without having won an actual award for it or having anything that makes it stand out from other games like it.

I just wonder if they fixed the co-op freezing issues in this GOTY edition release on the PS3. About every 2 hours it locks up the PS3 solidly to where you have to shut it down while the games still running.

As others have said though, the combat is repetitive. The only thing that is kinda keeping me playing is the ability to use propane tanks to take out groups of zombies and infected.
