_______________________

Surely not ANOTHER First Person Shooter game on the X360!? Yep, today we have a review of one of the latest titles to hit the 360 this year. We have had some killer titles like Bioshock and Call Of Duty 4, but this year hasn't seen a killer FPS. Can Frontlines: Fuel Of War deliver a good gaming experience after the raft of medicore FPS titles in 2008?

Very good review. The MP game play is amazing. There are so many roles to choose from you will never get bored. And once you get to know the roles you can use them to your advantage on each map.

Nice review, it looks like a very interesting game.
I have some questions about it.
Can you please give more information about the single player aspect of the game?
Is it the usual linear missions that exist in all FPS games? Is it like Battlefield games where you pick a map, bots and start firing?
How is the AI?
Approximate length of the single player campaign, if there is one?

Is the game, in terms of damage realism, closer to say Rainbow Six, or Quake etc?
That's it.

A 50 player multi player game would be nuts

Seeing as this is the 360 review..(Good Review BTW) i am currently downloading the PC version (Via Steam).. I can't see this to be much different..

As i am a FPS Fan,as long as this does offer a decent single player lifespan then i will be happy enough.

Absolutely cannot stand the game or thoughtless shooters that are overloaded with gimicks. If I want to shoot and not think I'll go to GTA.

Also the AI is a mix between old rainbow six and the first max payne. Which means they will run around in circles pretending to retreat and in the middle of a firefight they will turn and shoot you if your on top of a building peeking your head out. It reminded a lot of the bad parts of Pariah

Still a good review.
