Frontlines: Fuel of War

I recently rented Frontlines: Fuel of War from GameFly.  It’s a first person shooter game set in the near future where the Western Coalition (US/EU) are fighting Red Star Alliance (Russia/China) for the last few oilfields on Earth.

The graphics for this game were well done, but still had some serious glitches.  There were times where I see bad guys (and vehicles) just pop into the environment.  I also noticed a number of guys, vehicles, weapons, etc. just hanging in space.

Another glitch which doesn’t fall under the graphic area is that I captured a checkpoint in the game and then fell through the world.  I fell into some black hole and my character died. It was a little annoying, but I started right at the checkpoint I had just captured.

The game play was fun and easy to pick up.  There were some other neat weapons that you got to play with like flying and ground drones.  Both of these drones allowed you to stay safe and attack the enemy.

The game was easy, probably a little too easy.  I died at least once on each level, but never had problems finishing the level.  I played through on the normal difficulty setting and was amazed that there was an easier setting. There was also a more difficult setting, but I did not play that one.

I enjoyed the game.  It was a fast game to play through.  It was probably about 6 -7 hours worth of playtime for the single player campaign.  There was a multi-player which I did not play.

The game attempts to be (from what I can tell) Call of Duty 4 and falls short.  There are some alternate weapons which make up for the glitches and other short comings.  I give Frontlines: Fuel of War a 7/10.  It’s a rental, not a purchase.
