10 Terrible Games That Took Way Too Long to Make

3. APB: All Points Bulletin - 5 Years

Initially touted as an MMO answer to Grand Theft Auto, APB had a great concept, an all star cast of development talent and a long enough incubation period to bring its myriad ideas to successful fruition. Somehow though, things just didn't work out when Realtime Worlds launched APB for public consumption. Concern was roused immediately when reviews were embargoed until a full week after the game's release, a desperate marketing tactic that belied the game's quality. Despite a lengthy beta test, APB was riddled with bugs and poor design elements. The game was so bad that Realtime Worlds went into administration just six weeks after launching APB.
