Review: Has Battlefield finally met its match?
Visceral multiplayer ; Sizeable game modes ; Decent plot
Lacks imagination ; Lacklustre single-player

I had not followed Frontlines through development whatsoever. It had never really stood out as an interesting game to me. After all it is just another FPS, and we already have four hundred and forty eight thousand of them to play already. Regardless, I...
So, for a game that offers an exciting yet slightly underwhelming multiplayer, and an action packed but somewhat brief and disjointed campaign, Frontlines still manages to be better than the sum of its parts. There are better alternatives available...
So, with me having no idea of what to know what to expect I stuffed it straight in my disc hole and started to play.

Solo play is a pleasant, though unsatisfying, entrée, but you can really sink your teeth into the online multiplayer.

Imagine a future in which the world has run out of oil. No more petrol. No more lubrication. And worst of all no more plastics – butt-plugs all but redundant. Frontlines: Fuel Of War puts you in the shoes of an anonymous member of a special forces unit...
Not a bad game by any stretch, but terribly average as a single-player campaign.

The biggest shooter on Xbox 360 to date ; weapon loadouts and role system kick ass
There's only one game mode, only 8 maps, and it's not really an open-world, non-linear shooter as advertised
It isn't the best shooter out there, but the team at Kaos obviously put a lot of thought into the role system and the balancing of the game's sole game type. I do hope they offer new maps and modes soon, as gamers may quickly grow bored but for the...

The danger of driving a tank into battle is that if you get out to pee, your enemy might drive off with it. THQ and Kaos Studios (who, as Trauma Studios, were responsible for the popular Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 and collaborated with DICE...
Although this tactic wasn't particularly creative, in a console generation that hasn't seen many Battlefield-type games, the outcome is a refreshing return to large-scale combat. With some wonky physics and a weak single-player campaign, Frontlines...

Massive maps ; Cool secondary abilities ; Great sound ; Plethora of vehicles to drive
Crummy graphics ; Lackluster single-player A.I ; Hit-or-miss online community

Though mediocre when compared to games like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, Frontlines has some endearing qualities that make it a fun FPS. Its sense of scale and excellent audio effects are a treat for any gamer, but its lackluster visual appearance and...

Obviously it’s an issue that could potentially become a problem within our lifetimes but it's also one that has to be presented in an entertaining way.

THQ
Set in a fictional future based upon the headlines of today, FFOW brings players into the world's next Great War. As society succumbs to a worldwide energy crisis, a new global depression takes hold. Amidst this desperate backdrop, two superpower alliances emerge. Join the battle on the frontlines of tomorrow as the Western Coalition (US/EU) or the Red Star Alliance (Russia/China).As depicted in FFOW, the Western Coalition and the Red Star Alliance have combined their military research and budgets, and the result is over 60 next-gen vehicles and weapons inspired by military designs for the near future. These include remote controlled drones, gun cams, and next-generation counter-measure systems, all of which are player-controllable.Use high-tech combat systems to collect and relay recon, targeting, and threat information between team-mates. Target acquisition and sharing between vehicle occupants is just one example of FFOW's focus on an advanced team play experience.The customization system allows players to develop their soldier to fit their play style by choosing a weapons loadout, as well as a technical specialization (role). As the game progresses, each role will upgrade, providing advanced equipment and abilities. It mixes RPG-like depth with the accessibility of a fast-paced FPS.The main game mechanic featured in FFOW in both single player and multiplayer modes is the ability to join the forces on the front line. This front expands across large portions of a mission and will require a firm strategy to achieve the objectives in order to move this front forward. Not only does this system keep the battle centric and players in the midst of the action, it gives a unique sense of advancement as your Division is rewarded with territory for their victories.Take advantage of a sandbox of destructible elements to create a unique path and strategy through each mission. Instead of failing and re-playing the same sequence of events, players can 'chip-away' with varied approaches, allowing diverse missions with high replay value.
