The review sites are giving it poor reviews but i rarely dislike a codemasters game.. so finding it hard not to buy it

i picked up a copy yesterday, im a big racing fan and have never disliked a codemasters game before... until now.
im really trying to like it but its just boring. the vehicles seem to be going really slow all the time, the map is boring with so many barren plains and forests that are all the same. and the AI are annoying too. I wouldnt recomend this game to anyone

what a let-down, thanfully codemasters didnt develop this game, but why they wanted there good name anywhere near it is beyond me, avoid like the plauge.

Well, anyone want to sell me their copy for 20 euro? If it's so crap and all I mean...:)


Thing is, a real world inspired enviroment is always going to seem that but emptier than a purpose designed levels of a more contrived game, the difference between True Crime LA and GTA III for example, True Crime LA's biggest problem is that Los Angeles is so boring to drive around, whilst Liberty City is the best of New York, Chicago, Detroit all compressed into one city for maximum fun.
Another example is the difference between Test Drive Unlimited and Burnout Paradise, again, TDU, a game I really like, suffers for some because of the miles and miles of idyllic island, with little or no set piece opportunities, whilst Paradise city is built around ramps and barrel rolls.

My guess is, with Fuel, that players must give it some time to explore the game world properly, you can't possibly have seen all the developers want you see when it was only released the other day.

no seriously, you need to stop defending a game you havent played. its bland, the handling is slightly ropey, the ai is completely retarded and the "open world" aspect just means driving around lookalike landscapes waiting for the game to let you know theres a race there

the multiplayer is decent enough though. if they make a second one, id expect it to be a bloody good game, but this one just doesnt work all that well

That's a bit harsh, you don't have to drive around for miles to get a race cos you can select one from the menu, you would have to free ride to collect liveries, vista points etc, but you can just as easily not bother if you can't be arsed.

The graphics are pretty sweet considering there's 5,000sq miles of terrain and there's heaps to do in the game, each section of the map has a different look to it and there's a good choice of vehicles ranging from bike to monster trucks. The handling is pretty good really.

I like the game a lot, the only part i'm not keen on is the stupid and unnecessary trick the driver does every now and again on jumps when on a bike or quad. Very pointless! and daft looking....

Ahhh and I was really looking forward to this.

Might wait til it's pre-owned to try it out now.

Is the demo on Live?
