Frontlines Fuel of War-Xbox 360

This is a great futuristic type military game (based in the year 2024). Alot of vechicles and military combat, massive maps, and sessions that can hold up to 64 people. The only downfall to this that will be ficked in the future is offtend you see your teamates and the enemy glitching up while you run and while they run. Seeing the vechicles in motion is the total oppisite. No glitching up or suddenly appearing in different places. Overall, if your looking for a Xbox 360 game containing Massive Maps, Wide assortment of Military Combat, and All The Vechicles you can put your hands on I reccomend Frontlines Fuel of War for the Xbox 360.

Good Game, Good Effort

This is another title I was fairly excited about. If you actually read the beginning of the manual and pay attention to the storyline, I think people will find (if not now, soon) that it is almost shockingly accurate on many counts. Anyway, the gameplay is pretty decent although more cartoonish than realistic. Comparing to Call of Duty 4 nothing comes close however in itself the game is pretty decent. It does seem to be a little repetive though and some difficulties in clearing some levels but overall not a bad addition to the 360 lineup. Definitely worth checking out.

A review of the game on story mode: not online

Having played this just at home via the story mode, I found it to be really well thought through, innovative and fun. The thing is with most shooter games is you have to find the subtle differences between them to really enjoy them for what they are.

Liked:
1) Unique maps and hordes: You get a feeling of how crazy war can get with the amount of people up against you, my cousin played it on easy and he found it a struggle to keep up with the hordes of bots they throw at you.

2)Mission lay out: How everything accumilates to a single objective, this is really good because it actually provided more to the story then say, with Army of Two which did have a plot, i just found this one quite a lot more interesting.

3) Unlimited restarts? No way!: Ok so that might not be on the top of everyone's lists, but I find it more of a challenge in games to have fewer chances to restart your mission because you try a lot harder. I found with a lot of xbox games recently that it just would restart you over and over without any real consequence, in the end you just getting the hang of it and doing what you learn after 10 times in. However all it would do is revert you back to where the mission starts in this game, which is good, there is no point to having to go all the way back to the start of the game with 10 lives only.

4) Awesome guns, shame you cant just pick them up: You need to go and fin a specific weapons container to get anything going, unlike other games where you can swap with team mates or just pick them up off the floor. Still, i guess it makes you want to conserve bullets but in the heat of the moment losing out and having to revert to a seemingly difficult-to-aim handgun (although very affective) is annoying. Conceptually, the guns and little toy weapons (cars and helicopters) are aweseome and fun to have a go with. Give the auto lock in with rocket launchers and enjoy blowing tanks away!

5) Give it a go online: This might be worth the whole thing depending on how the online experiance goes for me. Give it a go, you will probably enjoy it more.

Did not like:

1) Objectives, once there, are easy: I prefer something a little more difficult then placing a bomb on something, or just standing in an area to secure it (this is with respect to not telling you the final objective, find it out for yourself!) although it is difficult at times to reach objectives with hordes of bots attacking you etc, the moment you complete the objective they all suddenly dissapear? i dunno just not realistic.

2)Game is fairly short: Like most shooter games, but I found this one to be terribly short, maybe there is much more of a focus for the online gaming side of things? Either way, took me three days of playing (on and off during a working week, inbetween work, gym and going out)to finish it off.

Apart from that, I found this game quite fun, not the best title to come off the xbox so far, but its certainly worth it unless you are the purest of elitest shooter gamers in which case you might not enjoy the story mode all that much.

Great multiplayer

First off I 'll admit I didn't get the chance to play on-line so while multi-player may be great, I've just played Single. Weapons are numerous and interesting , but you lose the "interesting ones" when the mission is completed even though you're in the same arena. On you team is a number of people, but they don't acutally do anything. If you watch them you'll see the enemy shooting to the left and your team member shooting to the right, Of course most of the enemy will be shooting right in your direction. Like Call of Duty 4 no one moves forward unless you do your thing. The explosive RC car is nice but if it hits a pebble it stops. Getting into and driving a vehicle is tough because of the wonky controls and camera angles. I don't know if the enemies spawn because there are a ton of them all over the place (only shooting at you remember). The scenes are nice and the story is very good.

A front rank for Frontlines ...

I am early in my experience with the game but the quality and scope of the game are great. The action is immediate and it's hard to take a breath for the first half-hour. Graphic content was the reason i purchased an HD TV display specifically for the 360 output. Graphic quality is evident from the opening scene. Detail close to what we experienced in COD 4 does not slow the frame rate adding to the joy of the experience.

Just play the multiplayer demo you can download from xbox live

I must say, I played the demo and found it pretty good except for the very common lag, and many glithces. I could go on forever about the glithces this game has including: zooming in for a second after u zoom out, and as the other guy mentioned...i have also played a game of ring around the roses until i decided to find another room which had even more lag then the one before. When i played the actual game i was very disappointed that the glithes and lag that took place in the demo, which was launched well before the game was launched, was not fixed and was present in the game. The demo offers two maps with 32 player combat which I thought was very fun and much better than the game. This game is not worth buying. In fact, I sold the day I got it and redownloaded the multiplayer demo. My opinion: just wait a few more days for rainbow vegas 2 to come out.

Rather fun single-player, but online is where it's at!

Just a quick review of the game. The single-player is fun and enjoyable, but (other than the great political/economic story) is somewhat forgettable. However, on the 360, there are some fun achievements to make you re-play levels (speed runs, completing without dying, etc), which are really fun. However, it would have been much better with some co-op.

Online is another world, however -- great to play, lots of fun, definitely worth the purchase. Every map is unique and needs a very different strategy. Some are very wide-open with flat turrain, offering lots of opportunities for vehicles to be vital. Others are rugged and mountainous, making foot soldiers the way to go. Each class has strengths and weaknesses making them vital to winning, but not overpowering them. Besides your class, you can pick a "kit" that allows for other abilities (calling in airstrikes, etc) to add to the variety.

Definitely a recommended game.

Fun, fun,fun, Short, short, short

SINGLE PLAYER OPTION
This is a fun and enjoyable game. I wish it wasn't so short--- 9 hours (without the cinema). I would give more to the rating if it was longer, but I do recommend this game. I think you will see shorter and shorter single player modes due to xbox live--this is not good.

Great weapon selection, pace of action and excellent graphics (not great-like cd4) makes it very much enjoyable.

I have not been able to unlock the special bonus extra: sp-street.

Addendum: The special bonus extra: sp-street was unlocked. As good as and some times better than any of the Rainbow Six terrorist hunts. Only two of these extras are available. :(

This is multiplayer paradise.....

Look, maybe I'm old and crusty - as I've been at this awhile - but I've looked past the early, sporadic lag issues and occasional hiccups finding a server (these issues will surely be fixed, and are being fixed) - and I've found an awesome multiplayer experience.

If you've ever enjoyed any of the early Battlefield games (especially 1942) BUY THIS GAME. It's all about the multiplayer (the single player is a primer at best). HUGE maps, large quantities of players (especially for the 360), myriad vehicles, weapons, gadgets, and so many ways to creatively engage the other side. The 360 has been screaming for a big multiplayer experience like this. Don't miss it.
