Gameplay

Fuel is an open world racing game set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by global warming, with players experiencing varying weather effects such as tornadoes and sandstorms, as well as a full day-night cycle.[4] The game world is over 5,560 square miles (14,400 km2) in size and completely free to roam. The game does not feature loading times while racing from one point to another. The player can use seventy different vehicles across six different classes, including bikes, ATVs, muscle cars, SUVs, buggies and trucks as well as hovercrafts.

Development

Fuel evolved from a game Asobo Studio announced in 2005, called Grand Raid Offroad.[5]

The award for largest playable area in a console game was awarded to Fuel developer Asobo Studios. Guinness World Records presented the developer with a certificate to commemorate the achievement.[6]

Multiplayer

In the console versions of Fuel (on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), there is an online multiplayer mode for 2-16 players at once, and a co-operative online multiplayer mode supporting 2-4 players. However, there is no offline multiplayer mode.

Fuel has been met with mixed reviews, stating that while the game world is the largest in console gaming history, it is mostly uninteresting and empty. Many of the rewards available to be unlocked are also seen as not worth the effort and even the basic racing mechanic are sloppy with the AI winning most of the race, only to slow down towards the end to allow the player to win.[9
