Big Download: Fuel Review

FUEL gets a lot of credit for creating a massive open world for players to drive around in. It's an impressive feat to include so much seamless space to drive across. However, the game is a victim of its own theme. Players race out into a vast wasteland without much reason outside of taking in the sights and accepting challenges simply for the sake of doing so. There are some standout events and the concept is very cool, but there's no shaking the feeling that much of the time playing FUEL is spent driving around aimlessly, and there isn't much to be found around the wasteland to make things more interesting. -
