APB is entirely online and multiplayer. However, it's a unique game unlike other MMOs out there. The game runs on fast, high-quality dedicated servers allowing you to enter cities and engage in a new style of game where your actions bring you into opposition with other players dynamically: there's no waiting in lobbies. You can encounter thousands of other players over a short period of time. Dynamic matchmaking allows solo and group play in missions, against - or with - real people, never an AI. Key Game Features - Creativity - APB has an 'expression suite' of in-game customization tools. Any items created with these tools can be traded or sold to other players through the Marketplace
