APB is a lot of laughs to play, and it includes a load of the arcade game's sampled speech which really livens things up. Even if you weren't a fan of the coin-op, this is well worth looking up.

It looks like the arcade game. It plays like the arcade game. What's missing? Well, for starters, the game just doesn't sound like the original game (which is a big portion of the arcade game, believe it or not). It also doesn't QUITE play like the original. Plus it seems a heck of a lot more repetitive on the Lynx than it ever did in the arcade. But I think the most baffling question of them all: Why is the game not played this the VERTICAL SCREEN? I mean, the arcade game was. What's with this WIDE screen A.P.B.? That doesn't make any sense to me. But the game plays well enough for me to recommend, even with these minor complaints. And says you're not likely to find a better adaptation of this game anywhere else, I have to say that it's well worth owning. I just wish it were better.

A.P.B. on the Lynx isn't what I expected, but it's okay. I was looking forward to some cool scrolling and scaling, but none of it was present! the music is decent, but not spectacular. the Lynx is capable of so much more! I wish I'd see more games like Ninja Gaiden or Klax.
