Brink, by all rights that game should've been so much better than it was. That and the 3DS, the best game for it was a re-release and that's it, so far anyways.

So much more could have been done with that game...
so much...
This too.
God that game should've been much more amazing than it was.
Y'know, i thought this too. My main complaint was that the environments were amazing, but stuck to that theme for an ungodly amount of time. See, if there was one thing dante's inferno got right, (I actually liked it, but that's not the topic here) it was pacing. You stuck around in every circle just long enough for you to start wanting to see the next one, but not too long as to make it boring. Alice made me want to zoom to the next locale Not long after arriving in the one I was in. Honest to god, I was so sick of that Japanese section fir the majority of that section. It went on and on.
And yet...I liked it. Stranglely enough it was saved in my eyes by being horrendously cliched. The moving platforms, the timed switches, bottomless pits, I was raised on such a diet of platformer cliches, and it left me playing through the whole thing on a high of nostalgia.
