Need For Speed World is the new online version of the extremely popular racing game franchise. It's a massively multiplayer open world game (MMO), with RPG style leveling up.

Huge Open world

Need For Speed World features Palmont, the city from Need For Speed Carbon, and also Rockport from Most Wanted, which combine to make a huge world to explore. There's a night/day rotation, which makes it feel more dynamic. There are no pedestrians, and little traffic. This means you won't be interrupted too often when racing, but does make Need For Speed World feel a bit lifeless.

Car Shopping

Choose a car from a small range of not very exciting cars to start with, liek the Toyota Corolla or Mitsubishi Eclipse, then roam the huge Need For Speed World looking for races. These can be multi or single player, and get into chases with the cops. Evading the police and ranking in races gives you experience points and money, which in turn unlock better cars that you can buy in the Need For Speed World showroom.

Mods

Your cars can be modified with stickers, paint and decals, and power-ups can be chosen and purchased with in game money. Need For Speed World seems pretty stable, even with loads of players online. When you enter the open world you can't crash into other players, only the environment and other traffic. Online players can only push you around if you enter a race. The cars in Need For Speed World have the forgiving, arcade style handling that makes the franchise such fun to play.

There is online chat alongside the racing, and you can add friends and meet up to race them. Graphically Need For Speed World is ok, but looks a few years old. However, this means you don't need a super computer to play the game!

Overall

Need For Speed World is an impressive massively multiplayer online racing game, and although it looks a bit basic it's really playable.

APB Reloaded

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

APB: Reloaded is the rebooted free to play version of the doomed original, All Points Bulletin. It's still a free-roaming violent massively multiplayer online game, but it's been improved in some areas. It's not exactly GTA online, and it has flaws, but APB: Reloaded is worth trying out.

Gameplay

The basic missions in APB: Reloaded see you playing as Enforcers or Robbers. Basically one side will be trying to achieve something, while the otherside has to stop them. This is sometimes fun, but often you'll find your fun spoiled by 'griefers' - other players who just want to ruin your mission. All online games are at risk or griefers, but they seem particularly prevalent in APB.

Driving is pretty well handled in APB: Reloaded, but the shooting can be frustrating. Running around creating chaos is fun for a while, but the repetitive missions and bland cityscape soon start to spoil your enjoyment.

Sound, graphics and customization

The sound is pretty good in APB: Reloaded, but unfortunately the graphics are look a bit dated. It looks and feels like a cheap Grand Theft Auto, although this seems to fit with the garish customization that's allowed! In APB: Reloaded, you can pretty much customize whatever you want. It's not quite Saints Row, but you can get some very funny results is you play around with character customizations.

Conclusion

APB: Reloaded is free to play, so there's no reason not to check it out for yourself. If you're waiting for GTA V and want somewhere to create violent havoc, APB: Reloaded will provide this. With more accurate shooting and more mission variety, this good be an good game, but currently it still feels like a mess, albeit a fun one.
