Set in the near future, Frontlines: Fuel of War asks the plausible question ‘what would happen if our oil reserves were about to run out? As man kind is starved of one of its most important resources two super powers face off over the last reserves in intense futuristic warfare. Starting on the oil fields of central Asia this game takes players across the globe and right into the heart of Moscow itself.

Created in collaboration with a team of military advisors this game features over sixty different weapons and vehicles all based on real world technology being developed by the modern military. Players will be able to take the war to their enemy using everything from guided smart bombs and remote control combat drones to the good old fashioned assault rifle. The unique Frontline mechanic employed in this game ensures that the gameplay is intense and fast-paced at all times as well as giving players the freedom to explore the maps fully.

Featuring a gripping and immersive single player storyline spanning eight vast missions and an exciting multiplayer mode for up to 32 players on Xbox 360 and 64 on PC featuring a unique role and load-out system allowing players to customize their character to suit any situation making Frontlines Fuel of War a simply unstoppable force.

Frontlines Fuel of War: Special Edition features an exclusive hardback art book. You will also receive a limited edition t-shirt as well as the official Frontlines: Fuel of War soundtrack which lends its individual sound from a mash up of New Metal, Electro beat and orchestral tones. Just when you thought that was enough, you get a poster thrown in for good measure.

Customer Reviews

we know its not cod4!!!!!!
firstly i have to say the price for this special edition is a steal!!!! game have it up for £49.99!!! secondly, please people stop comparing this game to call of duty 4's multiplayer. we all know how good cod4 is and we know it will take a lot to beat it.

ok, this game has a reasonable single player, if you've played battfield 2 e.t.c you know what to expect. its more of a training sim for the multiplayer game, its good, just not great. the ai is a bit shoddy, but the objectives and choice of vehicles and weapons make it a fun game for a few hours. the mutliplayer however is good fun. its very fast and again, there's such a good choice of weapons and vehicles. if you've just been blown up by a tank, then respawn as an anti vehicle player. if its a map with loads of high points then its time to roll out the sniper, not a good shot then try finding cover and send out a drone. the graphics are really good and the enviroments are well thought out. there's plenty of cover and getting up high for those sniper kills is pretty easy on most maps. all in all its a good fun game, and it feels a little more balanced for newbies then cod4.

Dont buy if you dont have Xbox Live !!
Ok , This game is frighteningly real with regards to the fuel consumption crisis we have right now . Its possible that wars similar to this will be faught in years to come !
Anyway , this game has many good aspects to it but unfortunately some annoying little niggles aswell .

Good: Multiplayer ! this game boasts the largest amount of players you can have online at one time as a whopping 60! No joke , its great fun and the fact that you can form your own squad is a fantastic idea .

Graphics : This game really makes use of the next gen HD capabilities of the Xbox360 , the way that things like the water on it is presented and also clothing is just mind blowing !!

Weapons : It has a fantastic array of futuristic weapons such as drones ( robots that you control and are equipped with powerful weapons!), heat seeking rocket bazooka's , heavy and light machine guns and air support .

Bad points : Single player , extremely short and very easy to complete also when completed i recieved no gamer points either ! It isnt possibe to command members of your squad on single player which is definately a great shame .

Enemy AI : is crap to be honest ... thats the only way i can describe it ! not only that but the enemy never seems to stop coming until you take an objective .

Repetetive : After the first few missions this game gets really repetetive , and without a gripping story line this caused huge problems for me !

Misuse : I really think that they have taken a superb idea for a game and missused it , it could have been better and longer on single player .

Ok so thats it , i love the game and think it was money well spent but that is because i have xbox live . Dont buy this game if you cant play it on multiplayer !!! I can not stress that enough folks !!

Brilliant, innovative and good fun
This gamed is good fun...intense battles. Take no notice of these numpties who say its not good. If you have any ability what so ever you will be able to control the game no problem. The weapons are right round the corner as seen on Futureweapons and the vehicles are varied and excellent. A bit scary on how close to reality it is actually. The glitches are there, there is lagg..but they are working on it all the time and it has improved since release, check Khaos website out. War what is it good for?....THIS GAME THATS WHAT! Bravo!
