The All Points Bulletin customization features have been a much talked about feature of the game, known to be one of its primary “pull-factors” to new and current fans. The customization tool implemented by the ingenious team at Realtime Worlds has left options to do almost anything with your characters and cars alike.

Character customization
If you’re the kind of person who likes to sink their teeth into the crazy and complex depths of various character creators, trust me, this one’s for you. It’s not just for the dedicated character creators out there but it has been made to suit the general audience of gamers too. With a “point and click” style interface, this definitely looks like the most simple, complex character creator out there (if that makes sense). The interface is simple, where you literally point at what you want to change, click, then drag. That’s right, no more trying to work out what the difference between head depth and head width is, no more moving customization sliders as a means of finding out what you are actually changing.
The creator has been claimed to be advanced enough to recreate living people inside the game. I can tell you, they weren’t exaggerating; as APB-Evolved community member, Din, soon found out.
Looking beyond the interface and the basics, the customization tool also provides the ability to create custom tattoos and place them pretty much anywhere there is skin. On top of that, there is also a logo designer, similar to that of the tattoo designer, which allows you to put equally complex emblems on clothing.
Car customization
As the customization trailer showed us, there is also the ability to customize the paint scheme on cars. Matching the complexity of the logo designers on the character customization feature, this enables you to make your care look mighty dandy, or poopy, depends on your style. You can even go so much as to change your license plate number! (I shotgun P1MP).
As far as the trailer goes, we don’t have any information on property customization for cars, like the engine and how many exhaust pipes you have. But looking how the game is turning out so far, it wouldn’t be surprising if such customization options were available in the final release.
Overall
Overall the customization features of APB are, for lack of a better word, superbutaculamazing and I, like many fans, cannot wait to get to work on.
