Never played it, but hows it bad?
Terrible lag
Terrible car handling; it's more efficient to
run to your destination than driving.
Terrible combat; it's GTA IV except people have overpowered bonuses.
Terrible game mechanics; it heavily encourages campers in missions.
Terrible missions; GO HERE PRESS use key DRIVE HERE WAIT FOR 8 MINUTES KILL THIS GUY 8 TIMES
Terrible optimization.
It's pay to play
It's 50$
The only good thing about APB is the customization, which isn't really that great; the GUI is horribad.
