I uninstalled this after a couple of hours.

Concept is great, implementation is awful. UI is counter-intuitive, gunplay is very rough and the cars may aswell be bricks on coasters.

One to avoid, imo.

I didn't exactly get in to it but:

"APB on PC has an expected release date on Q3 2010."

Eh, it's got ages to go.

I had a go on this yesterday, I thought it was quite good However...

The Cars....you may aswell run as driving one means crashing is inevitable and making the journey longer. They are sooooo bad to drive

The Missions....were never ending, I know I would have moaned if there were none but I didn't like turning down a mission so as soon as I finished one i was doing another and another and another. I didn't get any chance to do anything else. Must be me :p

The UI...I found alot of it by accident (button mashing), There wasn't many press button X to find the inventory etc. change guns by scrolling the mouse wheel found this by trying to zoom out as its a little close.

I don't want to moan at the lagg as I'm sure they are still testing loads etc, but it was magerly laggy

I'm going to try and get back in ASAP and give it some more goes when the servers go live again

EDIT: Found out I'm not a "Furious Fighter" as they are allowed to test all day today and I can't log on :p

Been trying it out over the weekend and I thought I would share my thoughts. I am fully aware its beta and the below issues I have may be fixed on release or even before.

*The driving is one of the parts which irritates me most. Because its server side, there is a noticeable delay and will always be when trying to turn the vehicle. so many times I was hitting things and bringing the chase to an end.

*If your chasing an enemy in a car, there is no end. You can't shoot or call for backup since its 1v1. So if they don't hit anything and you don't, it will go on forever!! Until the timer runs out of course :p

*I've experienced many bugs which ruin it for me. This I hope will be ironed out before release. One major one for me anyway is when you get a player upgrade in the mail, I cant activate it. I have like 6 upgrades and I can't use any.

*The chat system needs a shake up. You have different chat channels, like WoW, however, you can't drag one channel out to one side of the UI. So you have a wall of text to decode. You can use different tabs for channels but you have to use the keyboard and mouse to get to it, so having a glance when your driving is not an option.

*What I do love however is the wealth of customisation options. Its great fun tinkering, making tunes, badges and decals to stick on your vehicle.

*When you get in a good group, the game is really fun. But it, like alot of online games like this, is plagued with morons with stupid names, swear words on their vehicles and trash talking in the chat channels.

*As of right now, would I pay for this game? No. Would I pay monthly for it? No. Fingers crossed for release date to iron out the issues and make the tutorials easier to get through.
