Official Xbox Magazine Review - Frontlines: Fuel of War

Official Xbox Magazine writes: "The solo experience delivers only six hours of gameplay that's light on realism (enemies shrug off headshots like they're mosquitoes), and it exposes peculiarities such as the inability to cook grenades, pick up weapons from fallen enemies, or refill your ammo anywhere but large, marked caches. For every oddity that might irk veterans, others are guaranteed to excite them. As in the Battlefield series, you can choose to respawn from any objective you've captured, but the difference here is that it has to be behind your front-line. That means no more cheap multiplayer tactics like capturing an objective right in the heart of enemy territory and flooding your forces in through an unfair back door. Wisely, Frontlines uses this same respawn system in single-player, replacing the cheesy script triggers that dominate most shooters. Instead, you stay on the move against a huge number of mobile enemies who flank and seek cover in ways that make each engagement considerably more satisfying."

This is realy a well balanced game, it has a few issues here and there but thats due to a deadline to release. I know KAOS and THQ are signing a sigh of relief for the overall score so far. Besides I know many 360 owners that are hungry for some BIG battlefield MP/SP gameplay. Battlefield is good but it's filled with so many glitchers, it's a headache to play. EA never updates the game so... it's just no fun anymore. 50 players online and with NO lag, makes this game a must freaking own for MP gamers.

AngryHippo5954d ago

....this is the one thing the 360 was missing. A game with a large number of players in multiplayer which doesnt feel cramped. The demo on xbox live, i loved it. So much fun. This is definately a must buy for me since i love the battlefield series. Hopefully other people will see how good this game is and purchase it.

i Shank u5954d ago

same as you guys above, this game is the shizz im going to pick it up in an hour, man that demo was awesome and i've gotta support the devs on getting dedicated servers. good move on their end and hopefully other 360devs will start to put dedicated servers in new games

BeaArthur5954d ago

So funny yet so true. The single player demo was crappy and the farthest thing from smooth I have seen since Superman on N64 and the multiplayer was boring and made my eyes hurt.

undacovabrothe5954d ago

Cant tell a good game from a bad game...

witchking5954d ago

I can't see myself taking COD4 out of the tray for this one. The next contender for online supremacy is Battlefield: Bad Company. Until then, COD4 rules the roost.

etownone5954d ago

i see what your saying, and i'm hooked on my COD4 too... but this game has 50 player online, all kinds of vehicles (tanks, helicopters, jets, etc), remote control devices, maps that from what I read in the reviews are MUCH bigger than anything seen on COD4, and a dedicated server.

it just seems to offer alot of stuff that COD4 doesn't offer and any COD4 fan IMO should at least be wanting to give it a try.

If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1244d ago

If you know that you're paying for playing online + 4 games each month, those 4 games are NOT FREE.

But if they give you 6 games one month, 2 of them are free. Agreed?

How would you phrase it then?

Godmars2901243d ago

"Games with subscription service."

Its what they are.

And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.

shuvam091243d ago

Stop being such a snob. It's an informational article. And it's free for those who have GwG, as is clearly mentioned. Going by your logic, Buy 1 get 1 free shouldn't be a thing either, since you paid for 1.

starsi3601243d ago

First, stop being so triggered. Being so angry about something so mundane is worrying, maybe you need to look into why that is.

Secondly, why don't you go round all the UK shops offering "free" iphones and android phones when you sign up to £60 a month tariffs and scream at the staff that it's not free?

Do you get angry with Amazon, that advertise that Prime comes with FREE express delivery?

360 and original xbox games are free. You can download them and play them free on 360 and xbox one offline.

darthv721243d ago

I didn't have either one of these so... why not? Can't beat the price.

Lmcreach1243d ago

Why would I want either of these games LOL

Father__Merrin1243d ago (Edited 1243d ago )

Mx unleashed has been free to gold for ages for some reason, front lines is a good freebie it's not advertised.

Both games are free to keep in xbox digi library. No subsxription required to play these games once there added. There yours to keep

Revisiting Frontlines: Fuel of War

Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Frontlines: Fuel of War is a game that can honestly be forgotten, it was an average shooter and at that it certainly hasn't aged well."

LOL what a random revisit. I remember liking the demo for this game, but never bothered buying it.

skycaptin52518d ago

I bought it at launch, the game has been sitting here for years and it became backwards compatible so I was like meh why not

Profchaos2518d ago

I remember buying it for $2 on steam and playing it for 20 minutes

Asuka2518d ago

Completely forgot about this game. Remember being hyped about it... probably not that hyped about it seeing as how i never bought it amd forgot about it haha

Scatpants2518d ago

I wanted this game to be good but it was bad. Interesting ideas though.

Sidewinder-2518d ago

Wasn't a bad game. Clunky, but enjoyable. I still remember one of the loading screen captions; real poignant and deep...

"Our last drop of oil will be burnt by a tank."

Hopefully they can bring these titles successfully into the next generation

cannon88004072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

They really need to bring red faction back to life, that game is loved by many... and those other games too but I love red faction more than any of those other games. Bring back the destruction!

ftwrthtx4072d ago

Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.

Game4life4072d ago

Just keep Darksiders true to the franchise and im happy

Heavenly King4072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

Darksiders 3 needs to be more like 1. Darksiders 2 was a very deluded experience in order to be longer.

And please hire Madureira as the creative director of the game please! His art made the game alive. If the art style changes the whole game will be a piece of generic crap.

Roccetarius4072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

I have to admit, the loot system in Darksiders 2 felt like an obstacle instead. I think the first game nailed Darksiders better. They probably had good intentions with making it more RPG, but the animations, amongst other things suffered for it.

RBlue_Desire4072d ago

Agreed, most of DS2 felt like a chore to me with more platforming than action.
I am not saying I didn't liked the platforming, its just it was too much and was bit of a chore to me.

DS1 had little low amount of platforming, lack of verticality but it did good.

Hazmat134072d ago

i want you to take Geo-Mod and turn that up 11 i wanna see 50 story building fall and big beautiful towers come crashing down. i want a next gen destruction physics engine.
