Games Review: Fuel

PS3, Xbox 360, Codemasters, £44.99

There’s no denying that Fuel is impressive-looking. The racer boasts an epic open-world environment and promises to deliver hours of all-terrain speed freakery. But there are some bemusing elements that undermine the glossy design – not least that the quickest way to progress is to ignore the open-world driving and stick to a rigid rota of races. A pretty but slightly hollow title.
