Frontlines: Fuel of War

Those that get it will play Frontlines: Fuel of War until the disc wears out. Those that miss the point will have this one back at EB Games the next day– happy to accept the $40 depreciation of their purchase. But even with such strong, complex multiplayer support, we can’t give Frontlines: Fuel of War a complete nod without a single player experience somehow equaling modern, fifty man mayhem via Live. If you know your gaming role (both literally and figuratively) and actually buy Frontlines: Fuel of War based on said self-awareness instead of the marketing hype, there will be nothing but blue skies (blurred by the occasional vapor trail of course) ahead.

"The idea of a world with a severe oil shortage is a terrifying notion that hits close to home, but the game surrounding that idea is much less engaging. If some occasionally fun Xbox Live multiplayer action is all you need, then Frontlines: Fuel of War is worth some time, although its lack of modes, options and originality are disappointing. The single player campaign is merely an afterthought in what is yet another average game."
