Frontlines: Fuel of War XBLM Demo Available Now!

Xbox LIVE Marketplace is getting kind of stuffy, with all the recent demo additions, but hey, there's always room for one more. Frontlines: Fuel of War is a FPS from THQ and KAOS Studios, featuring the second mission of the single player campaign where players can experience the open world gameplay and use hi-tech weaponry on the destructible structures throughout the maps.

According to an official report, Frontlines: Fuel of War is set in the near future and asks "the plausible question 'what would happen if our oil reserves were about to run out?'" NEWSFLASH! Our oil reserves ARE about to run out! Anyway, as mankind is starved of one of its most important resources, two super powers face off over the last reserves in intense futuristic warfare. Starting on the oil fields of central Asia this game takes players across the globe and right into the heart of Moscow. That's a bit of storyline for you.

Now, speaking of the full version of the game, THQ reveals that it has been created in collaboration with a team of military advisors. As such, Frontlines: Fuel of War sports over sixty different weapons and vehicles, all based on real world technology, being developed by the modern military. Players will be able to use stuff like guided smart bombs, remote control combat drones or even old fashioned assault rifles.

As for the demo (which you can begin downloading right now), it features the second mission of the single player game, as mentioned above, where players can experience some open worldness and nifty modern weaponry along with destructible objects scattered all around the place. You will have complete freedom to complete your objectives (that means you can choose the order in which you complete them), allowing you to make different decisions as you play the demo again and again.

The full version of Frontlines: Fuel of War is said to deliver a gripping single player storyline, spanning eight vast missions, and a multiplayer mode for up to 32 players, featuring a role and load-out system allowing players to customize their characters. The full game launches in February 2008 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
