IGN - Frontlines: Fuel of War Review

February 25, 2008 - IGN feels like we hear this all the time, but first-person shooters really are a dime a dozen these days, especially on Xbox 360 which is seen as the de facto "shooter console" in the eyes of many gamers. With so many similar products vying for the attention of the many Xbox devotees it certainly takes a special gaming experience to impress the masses. Call of Duty 4 was able to do it, BioShock certainly pulled it off, Halo 3 did it for a time and now it's Frontlines: Fuel of War trying to make its mark on Xbox 360 sales charts. It's a game rooted in present day headlines as the world is being torn apart by warring nations competing for the coveted oil that has been the bane of our existence here in reality for far too long. While the time frame for Fuel of War is set in the future, the issues that it tackles certainly hit home. Now the only question is if the gameplay can do the same.

More after the jump...

Last thing we need are more games that suck

360_Rules5907d ago

This game does not suck. It's the 360's version of Warhawk except better graphics and more players 50. Go back to playing Lair PS3 fanboys.

InMyOpinion5907d ago

A game that's getting review scores of 7-8/10 does not suck according to me.

Oh, now I see! It's not on the PS3. That explains your comment.

Captain Tuttle5907d ago

sucked but I had lots of fun with the MP one. I'll probably pick it up.

Valin5907d ago

Then Over 2/3 of 360 Games suck and 2/3 of PS3 games suck, And I'm not pulling that out of my ass.
And if this sucks and no body buys it then a good Independent studio (Kaos) could close down.

50 player Multiplayer
Vehicles
Dedicated Servers
New different Multiplayer
It's not Starting at Full Price it's a 10 bucks off game.

I'd say fair dues to Kaos it's their first big game and 7.6 is pretty good off IGN for your first game.

THE TERMINATOR5907d ago (Edited 5907d ago )

7.6 score LOL
After all the hype of having 50 player online from the BABOONS, whats the point when the game SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i Shank u5907d ago

oh no it must suck because "teh terminator" says so; my day is ruined!

Greysturm5907d ago

But swince i still prefer a solid single above a great multilayer i think ill pass.

If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1194d ago

If you know that you're paying for playing online + 4 games each month, those 4 games are NOT FREE.

But if they give you 6 games one month, 2 of them are free. Agreed?

How would you phrase it then?

Godmars2901194d ago

"Games with subscription service."

Its what they are.

And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.

shuvam091194d ago

Stop being such a snob. It's an informational article. And it's free for those who have GwG, as is clearly mentioned. Going by your logic, Buy 1 get 1 free shouldn't be a thing either, since you paid for 1.

starsi3601194d ago

First, stop being so triggered. Being so angry about something so mundane is worrying, maybe you need to look into why that is.

Secondly, why don't you go round all the UK shops offering "free" iphones and android phones when you sign up to £60 a month tariffs and scream at the staff that it's not free?

Do you get angry with Amazon, that advertise that Prime comes with FREE express delivery?

360 and original xbox games are free. You can download them and play them free on 360 and xbox one offline.

darthv721194d ago

I didn't have either one of these so... why not? Can't beat the price.

Lmcreach1194d ago

Why would I want either of these games LOL

Father__Merrin1194d ago (Edited 1194d ago )

Mx unleashed has been free to gold for ages for some reason, front lines is a good freebie it's not advertised.

Both games are free to keep in xbox digi library. No subsxription required to play these games once there added. There yours to keep

Revisiting Frontlines: Fuel of War

Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Frontlines: Fuel of War is a game that can honestly be forgotten, it was an average shooter and at that it certainly hasn't aged well."

LOL what a random revisit. I remember liking the demo for this game, but never bothered buying it.

skycaptin52469d ago

I bought it at launch, the game has been sitting here for years and it became backwards compatible so I was like meh why not

Profchaos2469d ago

I remember buying it for $2 on steam and playing it for 20 minutes

Asuka2469d ago

Completely forgot about this game. Remember being hyped about it... probably not that hyped about it seeing as how i never bought it amd forgot about it haha

Scatpants2469d ago

I wanted this game to be good but it was bad. Interesting ideas though.

Sidewinder-2469d ago

Wasn't a bad game. Clunky, but enjoyable. I still remember one of the loading screen captions; real poignant and deep...

"Our last drop of oil will be burnt by a tank."

Hopefully they can bring these titles successfully into the next generation

cannon88004023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

They really need to bring red faction back to life, that game is loved by many... and those other games too but I love red faction more than any of those other games. Bring back the destruction!

ftwrthtx4023d ago

Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.

Game4life4023d ago

Just keep Darksiders true to the franchise and im happy

Heavenly King4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Darksiders 3 needs to be more like 1. Darksiders 2 was a very deluded experience in order to be longer.

And please hire Madureira as the creative director of the game please! His art made the game alive. If the art style changes the whole game will be a piece of generic crap.

Roccetarius4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

I have to admit, the loot system in Darksiders 2 felt like an obstacle instead. I think the first game nailed Darksiders better. They probably had good intentions with making it more RPG, but the animations, amongst other things suffered for it.

RBlue_Desire4023d ago

Agreed, most of DS2 felt like a chore to me with more platforming than action.
I am not saying I didn't liked the platforming, its just it was too much and was bit of a chore to me.

DS1 had little low amount of platforming, lack of verticality but it did good.

Hazmat134023d ago

i want you to take Geo-Mod and turn that up 11 i wanna see 50 story building fall and big beautiful towers come crashing down. i want a next gen destruction physics engine.
