A new preview has come to light, this one from Palgn (http://palgn.com.au/) taking a look at the Xbox 360 version of Frontlines: Fuel of War. Take a look:
While there are plenty of first-person shooters on the market, Call of Duty and Halo have really raised the bar in terms of quality, with both interesting single player campaigns combined with feature-packed multiplayer modes. Some FPS games have come and gone unsuccessfuly over the past few years, because they simply didn't bring enough new to the table to warrant a decent look. So the goal must be to create a game that has solid gameplay and provides enough new interesting features to get people to play the game in the first place. A game that has an extreme amount of potential to do just this is Frontlines: Fuel of War.
Available early next year on the 360, PS3 and PC, Frontlines is, at it's heart, a shooter set in a wartime scenario. We had a chance to sit down with the first three levels of the game (which were quite hefty in size), and can safely say that this is going to be one to keep an eye on. Set twenty years into the future, two sides are fighting in a war to take control of the world and it's resources. The Western Coalition (the US and the European Union), and the Red Star Alliance (the Russians and Chinese). The campaign does a good job of setting the tone of the game world, linking actual past events to the events in the future to help explain the situation you're going to face as you play through the game. It makes the whole experience seem a lot more 'real' and makes you question whether or not an issue like this could actually take place, and gives you a pretty good reason to want to fight for your side.
