Just had a quick play, not too bad, headshots don't count as a one shot kill, so it is like CSS on that front. Driving vehicles is a pain in the arse.

Should be good with a little group though.

So far its been good online, Iam an enforcer, Ive not been playing for too long yet though. Does have the GTA feel too it which is good, the shooting over the shoulder is a bit weird but does work. The driving part is ok with the keyboard, I need to configure it to work with the X-box controller. Ive not played it much yet, but what I have has been good, its definitly an interesting concept though I feel it has not been perfected as yet.

Agreed. Does the 360 controller work on it? If so, I may switch to it for driving. They really need to enable the mouse to steer.

That is my only major gripe with the game.

Everything else seems fairly well strung together. Having a mic will help to be able to talk to your team mates. At times it was a bit hard to know what was going on and what you were supposed to be doing as the hud pointers seemed to disappear at times but that may have just been me.

Getting matched up with extremely high level opponents which means I can't do anything. Really need others to go on otherwise this is going to be shit.... :( :(

Sadly despite being a good concept APB was sadly lacking so much, how after 4 years of developement can a company get it so wrong ?. The realtime worlds were rather bland, missions repetitive and the fighting system was shocking. If they had made the world half as entertaining as GTA citys it would have been a major improvement.

I assume the US side of it will carry on as they should be supporting Crackdown 2.

I haven't played APB since I first installed it.

It really did get some terrible reviews though Skel so I'm not surprised. I can't say i have felt gutted about missing out on it so far. Revisiting borderlands is still my priority lol.
Are there any good multiplayer games on the horizon? Since MW2 and the other sequel which iv forgot it's name things seem to have calmed down a bit?
