Hi. I'm Metaklang. I got FUEL. It's a cool game.

Newest Zones: Firemoor Fields, Dead Lady's Lake, The Hangar, Blacktrail Pass

So far I'm liking the open world mode. Though it may take a while, getting to liveries, vista points or whatever is a great experience. Over mountains, around canyons, through forests and fields, on road or far from it, driving through the open world is awesome.

My favorite class is probably off road truck. Tough and fast. Also, there great for off roading. Only downsides are the size (They'll make you hate trees.) and being unable to hill climb. But really, only SUV's can hill climb with any success. Least favorite? Almost anything on road. You got uncontrolable and super weak bikes, barely controlable Quads and muscle cars. Oh my god, I can not take a single turn with these things without flying off the road. I haven't gotten much time with a road buggy, and Road SUVs and Trucks I actually find usable.

Well, the game loves pop culture references. That includes AI opponents named Alec Skid (Alex Kidd from the titulaur SEGA game series) or Sheldon Hofstadter (Referencing the names Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter from the hit comedy series The Big Bang Theory) or a trophy named "Squadala, were off" (referencing the memetic line from the infamous Legend of Zelda CDi series). And who could forget vehicle names like Devastator (Transformers Decepticon)  Thundertruck (AC-DC song Thunderstruck) General Custer (Dukes of Hazzards General Lee. Also, being a signature muscle car based vehicle with a livery named Patriot brings Motorstorms Patriot Surger to mind) Enforcer (Mad Max) Trackmaniac (Trackmania, talked about on this wiki already) and a Vista Point named Blue Hedgehogs Hill (or something like that. I forget the exact name but I remember Blue Hedgehog, a reference to non other than Sonic the Hedgehog.)

I'm thinking of getting the PC version of the game so I can use that ReFUELed mod. Unless, there is a way to get the mod on PS3 (Which is what I currently play it on)

Motorstorm to FUEL Vehicle Comparison
The vehicles in these two games are a little similar. So I made this.

Bike - Bike. Obviously. Though the Road bikes feel more like Superbikes from MS Apocalypse.

ATV - Quad. It's just a simple change in name.

Buggy - Buggy. Again, obviously.

Rally Car - Muscle Car. Though there are muscle cars in Apocalypse, FUEL Muscle cars, being the fast midsize vehicle, are similar to Rally Cars, as well as Supercars and obviously Muscle Cars.

Racing Truck & Mudplugger - SUV. Larger, tough vehicles. The all round ones are especially similar to Racing Trucks.

Big Rig & Monster Truck - Truck. Simple. The big off road ones like The Bullfrog and Deathtrap are similar to Monster Trucks and the on road ones like Thundertruck and Barracuda are (apearance-wise) similar to Big Rigs

Vehicles
Sludgeray: My first bike. Replaced with the Riot. I held on to this thing for way to long. Sludgeray, you're ok, but "You're not perfect".

Mosquito: The Quad. What a quad it is. Good quad. Replaced with Mudblaster. Never really liked this thing.

Psycotic Fox: That thing is a buggy. Pretty much replaced with the Spider Wraith.

The Mistake Mobile: Well it's called King Arthur or something but buying it was a mistake. You see, in terms of SUVs I could've got Devastator, Knightmare (What I shouldv'e got) or this thing. I got this thing. Then I find out my two available SUV races at the time didn't permit it. It is now replaced with the Warrior, which I got via code. Most of the time there's better SUV's to use, whether it's on road (Burningdust) or off road (Dreadnought)

Warrior: Yeah, it replaced The Mistake Mobile. Great for climbing rocks when I need to get to stuff. Was replaced in race with the Knightmare and then the Dreadnought, but I still use it for climbing.

Bone Crusher: Decent off road truck. Sadly, it was replaced by The Bullfrog. Such a shame, it has a really cool design.

Bonesaw: Awesome road truck with an awesome design. However, Thundertruck replaced it as my road truck.

Wild Wolf: As a reward car, it really helped me. Replaced with the Scorpion.

The Enforcer: It looked cool, ok? Yes I know the Wolf is better. The Chevrolet El Camino is one of my favorite vehicles "ute" there! God, that was an awful pun.

One Eyed Jack: It's okay but the Spider Wraith fills all buggy needs. On road, however...

Spider Wraith: My main off road high speed vehicle. I still use it as my off road buggy most of the time. Also, for a while I named it the Avenger. Sorry for the confusion.

Afterburner: Pretty cool but at the time I didn't have any on road races. By the time I did, Banshee had appeared.

Banshee:  My road bike. Not that I like using it. Replaced with Cheyenne.

Mudblaster: My main off road Quad until the Komodo came along.

Fanatic: My main road quad. Until Steelfang, that is.

Deathwing: At first I bought it cause it was cool but it's got me out of a couple jams. I actually use it for almost every Quad circuit race. I like it.

General Custer: My off road Muscle Car, as if there's another choice right now. Often substituted with Stratospheric or Stormrider.

Scorpion: Another buy cause it looked cool. I'm bad at those. However, it'll come in handy at some point. I know it.

The Bullet: There where a lot of challenges that required it, especially the Seek and Destroys. And it was cheap.

Dreadnought: My main off road SUV.

Knightmare: See, I got it and I use it regularily. I now use the Dreadnought as my off road SUV.

Burningdust: A Maverick that was well worth it. My main road SUV.

Lucha Libre: I had a challenge that needed it and enough fuel. But since then I've enjoyed it.

Thundertruck: The ULTIMATE bought because it looked cool. But I finally found some road races for trucks. Seriously, this thing is awesome. Quite possibly my favorite vehicle in the game.

The Bullfrog: Another bought cause it looked cool. It was actually my main off road Truck until Iron Bear and The Educator came along.

The Educator: Another awesome Maverick. But I find it tips over a bit much.

Iron Bear: A reward truck that is probably the best reward so far. It's awesome off road and doesn't tip to much. My main off road truck.

Riot: I finally got an upgrade to Sludgeray. Sadly, didn't have much chances to use it.

Tomahawk: I don't use it much but it seems okay.

Komodo: Yet another fantastic Maverick. My new main Off road Quad.

Steelfang: My new road quad. And another great maverick.

Firefly: So far I don't find it any better than the Spider Wraith. I sometimes use it instead of the Wraith.

Stratospheric: Okay, The inspiration for this vehicle is a Plymouth Barracuda, but it has elements of a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. The '69 Charger is my favorite real life vehicle. I had enough Fuel, and nothing else I needed to buy. It was well worth it because it's fast and good on road and dirt. My main muscle car, granted I'm permitted to use it. Yeehaw!

Juggernaut: Forget Thundertruck, this has got to be THE ultimate bought because it looked cool. Yes, I already have The Educator and Iron Bear, but I like trucks.

Tiger Shark: I like trucks. So much that I have every obtainable truck at this point. I have a problem.

Avenger: Yes, the Avenger. It was pretty cheap and it looked cool.

Dustgrinder: My new off road bike. Mainly used when there's a lot of hill climbing.

Shuriken: My main off road bike. Unless there's a lot of hill climbing, cause then I use Dustgrinder.

Twin Freaks: Cheap and cool. I really don't have any vehicles I need so I'm buying like crazy. Sounds amazing.

Stormrider: Well, Stratospheric is better but I like this too. One thing I don't like is the sound. It sounds like a high pitched backed up weed eater.

Burstrider: I actually bought this because it might be a bit better than the Dreadnought. Not really, but it looks cool.

Sabretooth: Well, it's being called the "Chuck Norris of vehicles" so I thought why not. So far, it's pretty good, but I still use Dreadnought as my off road SUV.

Devastator: Again, cheap and cool. In other news, I have every SUV except Chaos Wrecker.

Mudhog: At first: cheap and cool. And then: Actually useful buggy.

Dragonfly: Well, it looks cool. Pretty fast, too. And cheap. But the One-Eyed Jack is better.

The Flash: Actually, it might be useful at some points. Besides, it's the fastest vehicle I have.

Easyrider: At this point I'm more of a collector. But still, despite being not as good as Banshee, it's still a great road bike. Also, it looks so cool.

Superfly: The engine sounds awesome. However, One-Eyed Jack remains my road buggy.

Road Hog: Ah, poor Road Hog. Suffers the same problem as vehicles such as Juggernaut and the Enforcer. There not bad, but you can get better vehicles for free. However, I like all three. They look awesome. Besides, Road Hog has six wheels! The names puzzling, however. It's an off road vehicle. Why not call a chopper themed road bike Road Hog.

Cheyenne: Speaking of Chopper based bikes. It is actually a bit better than Banshee. Welcome, new road bike.

City Hunter: I don't want to talk about it...

Doomsday: For those mixed races. But I think Deathwing will stay superior. Like I said, nothing I need.

Zero G: You know what? I wouldn't have found this Wiki, and therefor FUEL itself, if not for a piece of trivia on the Motorstorm Wiki saying that the G resembled the Wombat Typhoon Buggy. So, if it wasn't for the G's resemblance to the Typhoon, I would have never clicked on that link, came to this wiki, looked around, got interested and bought FUEL. I figured I would honour it by buying it, despite the fact that it's not that good.
