Looks pretty good i like the customization it seems to be very detailed.


Customization

I like the way they don't have a level system so everyone can play with each other all the time on the same missions.
They also have in game music that other players can hear its some how linked up to lastfm and you can create custom death music that is played to the person you kill lol

A few of us have played this in Beta, and TBH I wasnt overly impressed.  It feels rather clunky and would only be fun if you had 5/6 playing together.

Looks good. According to the comments, big car hits small car at speed, small car dies :D

As it's EA, I expect it will run smoothly after 24 or so patches, a year after it comes out  :|

May get it for giggles, though. How did you get the beta keys? What forums were you part of? Thinking of parting with cash to gain subscriber account on next pay day. Will also throw money at random TiG person, for the server.

Is Crime Craft free to play? Absolutely! Sunrise City prides itself on a principal of open arms. While paying members enjoy additional citizen privileges, including a bonus to experience and loot drops, all citizens have access to the same skills and weapons.

Nice connection. Only have a 3meg atm, but do get rather nice pings with it. Will be getting an upgrade to 8meg in a while, but until then, slow download speeds.

Have been playing the single player missions for a bit, to get better guns. Game went offline, so not playing it now :(

Seems to play multiplayer, you need to be part of a team. No team, so no multiplayer fun yet.

3page review of APB

seems the driving is not great and camping is the way forward in this game

I rarely trust eurogamers reviews and especially your man Fahey.
Ive yet to agree with any review of his.
Having said that the reviews are a bit mixed with most saying the game has huge potential but needs a lot of work.
Im more or less sitting on the fence with this one, im just not fully convinced yet and i refuse to spend more cash on another game that i may not bother to play.

Playing the single player of CrimeCraft to get funds to buy better weapons. There are small "co-op" levels where you plus other go around killing AI to get money, and also complete side missions. It's not bad. You need a group to play in the bigger missions, though.

I got a 7 hour pass last week from a guy on boards and the game servers are still packed.
I played my last hour yesterday afternoon and the streets were full of players.

Having said that i saw enough of the game to not wish to pay a sub for it.
It was fun but repetitive.

Played a few hours of the beta, and though the 'cops v robbers' is a great concept, some other factors were dealbreakers for me, I'm sure they've been detailed somewhere else on the internet by others. Overall, the game world they created just didn't seem compelling enough spend time paying for.

It was just like GTA SA with a bit of polish.
