Good concept, bad execution.

But the p2p drives most of your friends away, so you don't really have any friends to play with. The combat system is horrible, and so is the driving. The quests aren't very exciting either. The customization is pretty cool, although the emblem maker is a huge pain in the ass. If you're willing to put a few hours of work into it though, you can make a nice emblem. However it's never worth it. It'd be fine without the monthly payment.

No you're not.
This game was made by Realtime Worlds, which has already made games and employs 200 people. Now, the team that made APB probably wasn't even close to that large, but it still consisted of concept artists, modelers, coders and a whole slew of other positions. To even say that you could make something similar, or, better executed as you said is pretty much saying that you could do a better job than every single person that worked on that game. Not only would it be impossible for one person to reasonably create something that was even close to that level of refinement, to say that you could take the same concept and do it better than the developer and everyone that worked on it is just ignorant.
And don't say that you have enough ambition to prove me wrong, because at the end of the day you don't and probably never will.

from what I remember from the beta they didnt have many different clothes to customize. if they didnt add more car parts or clothes then it sucks. also the matchmaking system is crap sometimes.
