Media type and size:
Genre: racing
Release date: 28 August 2006
Description:
Quote:

FUEL is the motor-head's action-thinking, vehicular marathon. In this adrenaline filled, present-day racing game you choose between one of eight characters, adapting your game play to their unique strengths and weaknesses. As you progress through the tournament, you will be required to control your character while on foot, in a dune buggy, a speed boat, and even a helicopter. You will be required to navigate across a vast terrain all the while switching your mode of travel. Each stage of the race will require slightly different tactics in how you get to the next checkpoint.

While your running in-between vehicles, you will have to jump over obstacles, swim through shark infested waters, and avoid being side-swiped by other competitors or their vehicles. All of these factors affect your personal stamina or "FUEL METER", which will effect how long you can sprint or how quickly you end up getting to your next vehicle location.

There are no rules in this all out frantic race. This is a no holds barred free-for-all, to see who can get to the finish line first by any means possible. The winner of the race is not necessarily the fastest player as a smart player will know when to conserve energy for the upcoming obstacles.

The characters will be taken from across the world to compete in the wildest televised reality television motor sports race ever for the grand prize of $1,000,000. Racing ability is not the only skill to be successful in FUEL. Being able to navigate areas on foot and being able to find the vehicle that best suits your needs is crucial to winning the tournament.

Great idea IcedFreon to start threads about the games that will be released in the current month. I think this could be done every month, cause then everyone would know what games will be released and when.

Keep up the great work IcedFreon.

As I understood it the old game was begun in 2004 and canceled in 2006 but resurrected by Codemasters as FUEL!

Unsure though as I didn't know there was a older title with the same name.

The thread is a bit old isn't it.

Basically I found some interesting info on a game called FUEL (Or FUEL! or something.), searched these forums and found this thread, noticed that the thread was quite old and certain things differed but assumed the game had changed over time (They were pretty similar as I saw it both being racing games and the same name.) so I posted the info into the thread.
