Get fuelled up and prepare to race and explore the world’s largest ever racing environment – over 5,000 square miles of spectacular wilderness. Set to revolutionise multi-terrain, multi-vehicle racing, FUEL is a fiercely competitive game without boundaries. On and off-road, two and four-wheeled vehicles race a massively diverse environment, from scaling the highest snow-capped mountain to racing the deepest arid canyon.

FUEL’s landscape is powered by cutting-edge technology and, using satellite data, features some of the most exciting and inspiring areas of America – including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Mount Rainier and much more. In FUEL, if you can see it, you can drive to it, taking any route – on or off-road – that you want. With a draw distance of 40KM, 100,000 miles of roads, tracks and trails and hundreds of race events FUEL’s epic world demands to be explored.
Bringing this vast, open ended landscape to life is a dramatic and dynamic weather system that includes tornados, sandstorms, blizzards, lightening and thunderstorms, which all affect the environment and race strategy plus a full day night cycle. Complete with the ability to go online to explore this massive world and compete in hundreds of multiplayer challenges

Nothing lives up to the hype these days.

If it has full roam point to point races, a decent mix of vehicles, and one assumes uses the GRID/DiRT engine, or a modification of, then it should be a decent fun arcady racer. For £20 its definately worth a punt.

reflux · 8 May 2009 at 18:14

Looks awesome - I want!

burtie · 8 May 2009 at 18:43

Looks very good, and for £20 bargin.

Klo · 8 May 2009 at 18:56

Reminds me of 1nsane a little, which was a great game back in the day!

SkeeterUK · 8 May 2009 at 19:54

I think it has its own engine.

Looks a little like the MTA San Andreas online MP mod. Hopefully it'll be awesome.
