FUEL
A 2009 open-world racer with a massive procedurally-generated map, ambitious scope that never quite nails the driving feel.
GamerScout Verdict
Interesting for racing history buffs and exploration-first players; tight drivers should look elsewhere.
Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About FUEL
FUEL came out swinging with one of the biggest open worlds seen in racing games at the time: 5,560 square miles of destructible terrain across deserts, mountains, and forests. The premise is straightforward, race, stunt, and explore across this sprawling landscape. Metacritic's 67 suggests the execution stumbled where it mattered most: the driving physics feel loose and arcade-y in a way that doesn't quite scratch the sim itch, and the procedural generation, while impressive at scale, creates a lot of samey terrain between the carefully designed tracks. If you're hunting for a 2009-era racing sandbox where size and exploration matter more than tight handling, FUEL still holds novelty value. Just don't expect Forza or Dirt-level precision under the wheels. It's a curious artifact of when developers were obsessed with "world size" over quality-of-life polish.
