So I played APB. With the crash of '83, and the rise of Nintendo, less and less kids felt the need to go to their local Arcade. So how do you lure children into dingy, dimly lit buildings? You offer them what a console can't. That's why we're seeing a rise in racing games. This being yet another one, and honestly, not a very good one.
You play as a cop and your goal is to drive bad guys off the road. But if you ram into things without your siren on, you get demerits, get too many demerits and you're fired. The problem I had with this game was there's just WAY too much going on. You have to keep track of your gas, your speed, whether or not you have your siren on, the other cars, you have to keep after them and every little bump in the road will kill you. Not to mention the graphics, while fluid, are about a generation behind. It's just... Not fun. I think it would have benefited greatly by being a more linear game like Spy Hunter. Just really disappointed me.
