Story:In an alternate present, vast swathes of America have become no-go areas as the devastating effects of global warming ravage the continent. Floods, storms, bush-fires, tornadoes and hurricanes have driven people from towns and cities into safe zones as extreme weather wreaks havoc, creating thousands of square miles of dangerous uninhabitable areas. People turn to renewable energy in the face of the destruction caused by global warming. But these danger zones become a playground for a new breed of racer. With a stockpile of fuel to be burned, adrenaline junkies head into the wilderness to compete against each other in spectacular races against themselves and the elements.Show more

I remember playing this old gem on my crappy old laptop while being a broke college student. It was a really good time even though it only ran on 30 fps or less. Being a game about post-apocalypse, I really like the vehicle designs, it was a mishmash of vehicles from all sorts of life. Did I mention the map? The map was the largest gaming ever had at that point and still ranks in top 10 even after all these years. It was sad that the game got pulled from store around 2015, I wish it was back on store on a better form
played this game on xbox360 back in the day. recently downloaded it for pc since its abandoned ware and it aged like fine wine. so many fun hours of play to be had. massive open world, tons of side objectives to have fun with, races where decent also. wish it would come back.

The idea of having a seemingly infinite world to drive was always enticing to me. A post-apocalyptic world, with all kinds of vehicles, deserted roads, races, challenges and a few points of interest to explore, plus being able to simply drive anywhere without limits? That's FUEL. I first learned about this game so long ago when I didn't own an X360 or PS3, only in 2016 I was finally able to build a basic gaming PC and bought a key, what a game! Unfortunately, it was released in the time of Games For Windows Live, which makes it extremely difficult to play today, even owning it legally, and I have lost my save file twice already because I needed to reinstall my OS and the save file is locked to GFWL's account/PC, backing up the save file doesn't work because it's somehow protected and changes every time. Please bring it back GOG! The world would be a better place if you can do it.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
