Apb gamed over time. Most agreed that the game was good, but nothing revolutionary or game changing. Gamingbolt gave the game the original APB: Reloaded a 6/10, citing repetitive missions and a general lack of polish as being the game's downside as well as an ill-fitting free to play model.
Reloaded: Reviews are much less of an issue for a free-to-play game which has a much, much longer retail window than a traditional boxed title. For one thing, a lot of the games press can't or won't run a review for a F2P game and are not structured to provide any sort of ongoing coverage for a game which is sold over a much longer period. Once a game's been reviewed, a lot of the press immediately lose interest.
The bottom line for APB Reloaded is that it doesn't demand £40 upfront. The only way we make money is if players enjoy the game enough to come back on an ongoing basis and part with a small amount of cash to improve, upgrade, and add new elements to their game. If the players don't like it, the game won't survive. We'd love to show the games media how much everything's evolved over the last couple of years, but for a lot of them, the game's already come, gone, and been consigned to the trash.
This isn't a great game, it's not even a good game, but it is the closest thing we've got to a cops-and-robbers MMO - which is, I suspect, one of the all-time great video game concepts. One day, somebody's going to do it right, and they're going to become very rich indeed.
