APB (All Points Bulletin) Game Preview

All Points Bulletin is an upcoming high density action packed multiplayer game that is on its way to release for the Windows OS. The game is based on an urban plot where fighting is the only sport people play. This time, the bigger change is creation of the two sides i.e. the good and the evil. You can become either of the two. Either you can choose to become Enforcer or the Criminal. The Studio producing the game is Realtime World and the creator of the game is the famous David Jones (who also made the original version of Grand Theft Auto and Crackdown).
The game portrays the surroundings of a fictional city called San Paro. The people of San Paro are never at rest and always fighting for what they believe in. Where Criminals are always looking to commit the next big crime and the Enforcers are always on their toes to punish them for their wrong doings.
There are many aspects of the game that make it different from its predecessors. First of all, it is highly interactive and you can even use headset and microphone to communicate with other players. Then, it has a massive 100,000 player’s crowd in each of its worlds. The game is online which makes everything doable on real time basis. The options to choose players and make them look the way you want is really fascinating. You can create any type of player with dozens of options to ensure that no other player looks the same like yours. The game makers also claim the game to be very different in the sense that it won’t work on the old model of “the more you play, the better you rank in the game” philosophy. It will all boil down to the quality of play that you display, which will determine the type of status you achieve during the progression of the game.
The standard price of the game is set to be around $ 50. This will give you 50 hours of play excluding the time that you will spend socializing, wandering, and trading throughout the city. Once you have consumed all your gaming hours, you can buy additional 20 hours of game play for $ 7 or you can choose to pay $ 10 for a 30 day time period. Let’s hope it delivers what it promises to. It would also be interesting to see if gamers compare it with already running less similar versions of this type of games like Red Dead Redemption.
