Product Description
-------------------
Set to revolutionise multi-terrain racing with the largest
environment ever created in race gaming, FUEL will present
players with an astonishing no-boundaries playfield that's over
5,000 square miles (14,000+ km²) in size. Creating the ultimate
competitive go-anywhere racing experience, FUEL will have players
competing across wildly different terrain and executing
spectacular death-defying stunts as they race dozens of varied
two and four-wheeled rides and explore this epic world on an
unprecedented scale. FUEL is set in an alternate present in which
whole swathes of the globe have been ravaged by the effects of
climate change brought on by decades of environmental abuse. Here
oil prices have rocketed and yet a new breed of racing junkie
takes to the wastelands, pitting their grungy home-tuned vehicles
against each other in an all-new extreme sport as they compete to
win fuel supplies. To triumph means travelling the wastelands to
challenge the best; from the tsunami-wrecked pacific coast
through the Nevada wastelands, including the Grand Canyon, up
treacherous snow-capped ains, thick forests, arid deserts,
abandoned lakeside resorts and much more. Bringing this vast,
open ended landscape to life is a dynamic weather system with
full day and night transitions, brilliant sunshine, torrential
rain and everything in between, plus destructive tornados,
sandstorms, thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and blizzards
requiring mid-race strategy changes. Complete with the ability to
go online to explore this massive world and compete in hundreds
of multiplayer challenges.

. 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.
