Story
In an alternate present, vast stretches of America have become no-go
areas as the devastating effects of global warming ravage the
continent. Floods, storms, brush fires, tornadoes and hurricanes have
driven people from towns and cities into safe zones as extreme weather
wreaks havoc, creating thousands of square miles of dangerous
uninhabitable areas. People turn to renewable energy in the face of the
destruction caused by this catastrophe. But these danger zones have
also become a playground for a new breed of racer. With a stockpile of
fuel to be burned, adrenaline junkies head into the wilderness to
compete against each other in spectacular races against themselves and
the elements.
Vehicles
FUEL features
70 different unlockable vehicles designed to support pick up and play
arcade style fun. Each of these feature aggressive styling, unique
performance and surface specific handling and can compete with each
other no matter how or where they are united. The six different vehicle
classes include:
 |
Bikes
Bikes are fast, quick and easy to handle, but what they have in speed
they lack in durability, so ride around trees, not into them. |
 |
ATVs
ATV's four wheels offer more stability than bikes and their size allows them to be able to sneak in very narrow spaces. |
 |
Muscle Cars
Muscle cars have enough speed and strength to face extreme conditions, making them a good choice for any kind of racer. |
 |
SUVs
Powerful, stout and durable, SUVs make up for their lack of speed with all the hit that they can take before breaking down. |
 |
Buggies
The smallest of cars and the easiest to handle, buggies are definitely fast, but durability can be an issue with them. |
 |
Trucks
The largest and strongest vehicles, trucks will not daze you with speed, but they'll knock you out for sure with power. |
Race Types and Challenges
FUEL
features a wealth of race types and challenges. Races include A2B Time
Trials, Checkpoint Races, Circuit Races and Raid Races; while some of
the additional challenges include 'Long Raids'--races that can last for
hours--and 'Knock Out' events, which are checkpoint races where the
last racer to cross the line is eliminated.
Never Get Lost With GPs
Each vehicle in the game comes equipped with a unique GPs system.
Showing up on the game screen's heads-up display (HUD), arrows display
a route that will take advantage of the distinctive capabilities of
that vehicle, always indicating that fastest, most appropriate route.
Race well and players are alerted to an extra route--one that is
riskier, more hazardous--but potentially quicker. Of course, you can
always choose to switch the GPs off and forge your own way through the
wilderness.
