Frontlines: Fuel of War, looks like a hit for Xbox 360

Frontlines: Fuel of WarBuilding a future-in-ruins scenario from the headlines of today, Frontlines: Fuel of War is a first person shooter with a sobering story of a severe energy crisis. The creators of Desert Combat have built an interesting single player storyline, but where this game shines is multiplayer.

The most common criticism of the game is that single player is weak and the graphics aren't up to the likes of Call of Duty 4. But to even compare the graphics to CoD4 gives Frontlines a big compliment, even if it does fall short. The future scenario is scary if you really stop to think about how much our civilization relies on oil. It would be nice if story's like Frontlines could spur interest in finding viable alternative energy sources.

Multiplayer is beyond just interesting, it's truly groundbreaking. Servers dedicated to Frontlines: Fuel of War can hold 50 players in a lobby. That's a first for any online console action-shooter. The many multiplayer maps are sweeping in scope and can comfortably fit large numbers of players.

The game was just released this week and has already scored a 78 per-cent on Metacritic.com, it's worth a look even if it's not destined to be a classic.
