Nothing great by Peragulator
First off I ‘ll admit I didn’t get the chance to play on-line so while multi-player may be great, I’ve just played Single. Weapons are numerous and interesting , but you lose the “interesting ones” when the mission is completed even though you’re in the same arena. On you team is a number of people, but they don’t acutally do anything. If you watch them you’ll see the enemy shooting to the left and your team member shooting to the right, Of course most of the enemy will be shooting right in your direction. Like Call of Duty 4 no one moves forward unless you do your thing. The explosive RC car is nice but if it hits a pebble it stops. Getting into and driving a vehicle is tough because of the wonky controls and camera angles. I don’t know if the enemies spawn because there are a ton of them all over the place (only shooting at you remember). The scenes are nice and the story is very good.
Frontlines Fuel of War-Xbox 360 by Ripley Clone 8
This is a great futuristic type military game (based in the year 2024). Alot of vechicles and military combat, massive maps, and sessions that can hold up to 64 people. The only downfall to this that will be ficked in the future is offtend you see your teamates and the enemy glitching up while you run and while they run. Seeing the vechicles in motion is the total oppisite. No glitching up or suddenly appearing in different places. Overall, if your looking for a Xbox 360 game containing Massive Maps, Wide assortment of Military Combat, and All The Vechicles you can put your hands on I reccomend Frontlines Fuel of War for the Xbox 360.
Rather fun single-player, but online is where it’s at! by Jay Levy
Just a quick review of the game. The single-player is fun and enjoyable, but (other than the great political/economic story) is somewhat forgettable. However, on the 360, there are some fun achievements to make you re-play levels (speed runs, completing without dying, etc), which are really fun. However, it would have been much better with some co-op.
Online is another world, however — great to play, lots of fun, definitely worth the purchase. Every map is unique and needs a very different strategy. Some are very wide-open with flat turrain, offering lots of opportunities for vehicles to be vital. Others are rugged and mountainous, making foot soldiers the way to go. Each class has strengths and weaknesses making them vital to winning, but not overpowering them. Besides your class, you can pick a “kit” that allows for other abilities (calling in airstrikes, etc) to add to the variety.
Definitely a recommended game.
Very fun, very deep multiplayer… by Deeperdarker
I should say at the outset that I have only played a few missions on the Single Player aspect of this game, and found them to be dull and very cut and paste from virtually every other shooter out there. That being said, Frontlines: Fuel of War brings one of the most challenging, deepest and expansive multiplayer experiences you will find on the Xbox 360 this year. Where other popular FPS games offer maps that are at most a mile wide at most (Halo 3, Call of Duty 4), the maps in Fuel of War get as big as ten miles across, with flyable jets and helicopters, Tanks, Light Tanks, Anti Aircraft Artillary, Humvees, and more. You can have 50 people playing on the same map and still have room to breath, room to tactically manuever and flank with your squad. What makes this game truly fun for me is that there is no “God weapon” that lets a single player dominates the match. Like a chess-game, Fuel of War offers players a mixture of player classes and equipment that allows them to counter any other player’s kit or vehicle. Snipers, tankers, and helicopter pilots are unkillable in other games, but not in Fuel of War. A smart player working with their dquad can take any objective or silence any threat on the map, if they play their cards right. This is a great game and a very fun game. Highly recommended!
