Open-world racing can work (look at Burnout: Paradise). But where that game succeeded in bringing you a fictional world that was full of life and rival cars to unlock, FUEL gives the player none of that and no incentive to continue playing after few initial hours of gameplay. Ultimately, this is a missed opportunity through and through.
5,000 square miles of automotive action. Extreme racing on an epic scale.
FUEL comes to Xbox Backwards Compatibility on January 10th.
Ace combat 6 is included with ac7 for preordering It, still isn't b/c even though it releases this month. I have been waiting for a long time to play it again.
I’m still praying for the 360 version of the Dreamcast classic “under defeat” coming to backwards compatible, tho I know it’s never gonna happen.
Which videogames took a sledgehammer to the open world format? Find out the games that annoyed Screen Critics the most.
I thought the open world in LA Noire was a bit of a waste, it was competent but pointless. If there was anything worth doing other than progressing the story I don't remember what it was.
MGS phantom pain's open world damaged the game a lot it wasn't necessary
I thought true crime LA was a pretty decent fun romp plagued only by the painful length of time it took to travel anywhere :(
I not agree that Fuel was a bad open world game. I played that game till dead. And also with my friends, whe loved it. I wish they make a Fuel game for PS4. I will buying it day one.

I know it's not out yet, but Mad Max probably deserves an honourable mention at least, should be a post-apocalyptic staple if it lives up to expectation.
Enjoyed the range of games talked about here. Nice to see Horizon Zero Dawn on the list, I'm also really excited for the game and can't wait for more information on it.
Having an unreleased game in a top ten list is very unprofessional, regardless of how promising the title is.
The Last of Us takes top honours for me but I can totally understand why someone might choose Fallout 3, it really is an incredible game.
Nice article, fun to read :)
Wasn't this game suppose to be a "motorstorm killer"?
No, people who said that clearly didn't know what they were talking about. I mean, having played the game, it's nothing like Motorstorm. The similarities end pretty much in the fact both are off-road racers. And Fuel even has a lot of actual roads to drive in.
Vastly under rated game. You need to put some effort into this intially to get the best out of it. Only when you've got a few areas unlocked do you start seeing the diversity of the terrain and the great races that if affords you. It may lack spit and polish, but will reward you if you are prepared to give it the chance.
