Now APB's gone free, there's nothing stopping you from having a quick explore just to experience how surreal it is.
Which is actually the reason for my overblown intro up there. For the last two years, a handful of scrappy survivors from original developer Realtime Worlds have continued to attempt to realise the game's potential, culminating in the launch of APB Reloaded late last year: an "improved" cops'n'robbers MMO with a modern, free-to-play business model. So APB (short for all-points bulletin) is back. We are San Paro's finest, and we are here to do Police Work. You can create a custom musical theme to play every time you kill someone. He leans fatly over a submachine gun and has two grenades in his pockets. He is a squat, bald Mexican called Jorge who wears ill-fitting jeans and no shoes. This man is a District Commander of the San Paro police force.Īnother car arrives, this one curling into the area via a handbrake turn that sideswipes the facility's gates, keeps going, and promptly pancakes the District Commander between both cars. He's wearing bright green trousers, a blue shirt and a red cap - colourblind couture. It crashes into the courtyard of the storage facility, brakes, and a man steps out with the ease of somebody who's just completed a parallel park. Suddenly, a rally car covered in Monster energy drink logos comes flying off the nearby overpass. Welcome to San Paro, the city of 2010's MMO shooter APB and, today, free-to-play MMO shooter APB Reloaded. The sun beams down high above it, rendering everything in the colours of affordable breakfast cereal. A deserted storage facility on the cheap side of town.
