  • Summary: Full Auto combines fully-automatic, weapon-equipped vehicles with highly detailed urban landscapes, offering the most destructive environments ever featured in the racing genre. In Full Auto, the city of Staunton is held hostage by a mysterious group known only as The Shepherds. As a retired driver, you are coerced by the Shepherds into a series of lethal street races, where the cost of competing is far greater than anyone ever expected. 'Unwreck', a new feature that makes mid-race "restarts" a thing of the past, allows players to rewind short periods of time. Botch a turn? Correct it. Miss a shortcut? Go back and take it. Under heavy fire? Use a second chance to evade the competition. And Xbox Live support ensures significant replay value for gamers itching to take on human opponents in both grand-scale arena modes and full-throttle races. Full Auto allows players to choose from a wide selection of unique vehicle designs and arm them with any combination of machine guns, cannons, and other deadly weapons before taking to the streets. The rules of the road don't apply in this high-octane, no-holds-barred competition. [Sega] Expand

  1. High speed, intense firepower, rewind ability, online racing. Put all these together and you have yourself one top notch title, or as we like to say, a must have game.
  2. It is fun to blow stuff up for a while, but with a bit longer, this game could’ve been much much better.
  3. Huge-scale destruction is only awesome when used in moderation, not when it’s non-stop for hours on end.

    There are around ten hours in the single player mode, but it begins to grate after the first. Chances are the remaining time will be spent purely to earn some 360 Achievement Points. Entertainment? Tedium.

  1. I love this game, it is a very nice way for a stress relief. Just blowing things up not giving a **** what you blew up. One word to describe it Awesome Expand

    Beginning with the positives, Full Auto is a respectable entry. Considering the visuals are definitely on par with what has been seen on 360 as of late (atleast for the most part), you can not be too disappointed. Full Auto succeeds with one main aspect of the title; it is simply damn fun. Flaws surround the game, such as confusing controls which take some getting used to, and a physic making the cars appears as if they are floating; hovercrafts of sorts. But no matter the other coatings of a game which expand and improve the solidity of a title; if the gameplay is fun, you have yourself a game worth checking out. I found Full AUto to be enthralling, through its 88 missions you must conquer. I also found no excessive challenge in the game, as I breezed through it in a few short days. The options do vary, but not so much that it will reinvent the wheel at each level. No battle mode is a sting, but I heard it worked less than stellar for the games sequel. On another note, the tracks do get a bit repetitive and very minimal. Ins hort, once Full Auto is completed rather quickly, you will have no further reason to pick it up and play it again. But thats hort experience is definitely worth congradulating and recognizing, no matter how short lived and half-assed the other aspects of the title may be. It fell short of spectacular, but held a spot as best rental one could ever obtain. Expand
  3. At this time (2010) you can probably get this game really cheap and it's worth it for a laugh. The off-line single player is pretty decent. You won't want to play it straight through or anything. But, it is pretty fun and something you'll probably come back to from time-to-time.

    I think the online would be really fun, but alas no one has been in the game lobby when I've tried to test that out. Anyone who has or gets the game that wants to play on XBL send me a message at gamertag=ItsHimAgain

    The only thanks to this title is that it DID come out, that's basically it. I can't just figure out why every xbox360 racing game is having dumb old-gen trees on the sidewalks, they don't look impressive or even slightly detailed and just don't blent into the surroundings. The environments lack lighting complexion and the only thing you can enjoy, but only for a few hours, is how they are totally destroyed. Seeing this game in action won't get you to say that you're looking at a next-gen title. Burnout Revenge on the current gen is way beeter looking and playable than this one. Bottom Line : Bore and Lacklustre! Expand
