Fuel (Sony Playstation 3, 2009)

I bought FUEL for my 11 year old son. We own about 50 PS3 games and this game has the best graphics of any of them. I can't believe I can sit there, watch and be entertained. The games variety is never ending - it really is exciting. See snow, rain and even tornados while you race through endless on and off road terrain. Drive to the top of snow covered mountains or check out the flight while driving off a cliff. Choose from a wide variety of vehicles from a motorcycle to a monster truck. No blood or violence making this game perfect for all ages. Highly recommended - even by DAD!

I would have this game a rating of Good. The races are a little tough because the world is so big and not all races are on road. A part that I don't really like are the destination races, where you are times to get to a destination by a certain time, in order to get fuel points. What I do like, is that in free roam where you can go from the dessert, to the forrest and to the mountains. It's pretty insane how big the environment is. Not to mention they have a daytime/nighttime cycle (not as slow as i would like it. In the coarse of 10 minutes roughly it goes from night to day, but 9 of those minutes is day time). All in all, it's a good game.

My husband loves this game. I find him playing it during the day for the challenging timed races and at night for the free-style off-road driving "so he can relax." The scenery within the game is awesome and I frequently get called into the gameroom to check out the view. The size of the map is humbling, taking hours sometimes to get from one distant check point to another, and the ability to change vehicles while playing (different cars, trucks, buggies, & bikes) keeps the game interesting even for the spectator. This game will be a permanent addition to our library.

this game beat all other games in the out side the road format. I have a lot of games like Baja, MotorStorm, Rally, etc, but this one is incredible better in possibilities and conductivity. You find a huge terrain, and you'll never find the end of the road is too large. So "Hit the road Fuel, never come back no more"

The game has a great concept. The gameplay however, is garbage. Sound effects are terrible, and the graphics are mediocre at best. I purchased a copy that turned out to be defective, and would therefore freeze at random times, causing all of my progress since the last save to be worthless. The game has some great ideas, but becomes redundant after a while. Once you reach about 50% complete on the career mode, the game becomes all but impossible. Requiring you to place first on races that are impossible to do so. My suggestion? Avoid this game and go with Motorstorm Pacific Rift. Motorstorm is a much more complete, and polished game. It's what FUEL should have been.
