For starters, for those that have not heard of it before; I will say that APB: Reloaded is essentialy a massive multiplayer online game that reminds of newer games in the GTA series. Players can choose to play as the criminal faction or the police, primarily doing missions, and either attempting to complete their own, or prevent the opposing team of doing the same - That said, I am a person who deslikes the GTA series with a passion, yet oddly enough, after about a year of occasional play, I am left with a handful of fondly remembered moments with people I would go as far as to actually call friends despite not ever meeting them outside of the game. Do not mistake this as a claim that APB is a great game... it is not, but there are things that I find are done quite well as well as things that make it horrible. To make it simple I will make a short list of pros and cons that made me form this opinion of it.
The good:
- An interesting touch on design of clothing and cars that make it possible to create your own obvious style and share an actual or imaginary "personality" of you or your character.
- Fun tactical and team play, with maps made in such a manner that almost always make it possible to affect the game in a tactical way.
- A extreme amount of glee after getting better at it and being able to go on massive killing sprees.
- Meeting a (very) occasional fun and interesting person.
- Quite a large amount of weapons and cars to unlock.
The BEST - It is free to play!
The bad:
- A HUGE amount of people that take the game too seriously to be considered healthy.
- A very poor matchmaking system.
- A lack of proper updates. ( in my humble opinion )
- Only a handful of smallish maps with no improvements in sight.
- It get's boring.
- The average player is in their early to mid-teens.
The WORST - it is pay to win!
