Fuel Overdose, a top down car combat game released in December last year on the PSN, is on track to set a new world record for sales. According to the latest press release from publisher I-Friqiya the game has sold an outstanding 600 units across both Europe and North America.
The sales figures have been released to “unveil a part of the truth regarding the current situation of the digital download markets.”
Fuel Overdose has a Metacritic rating of 51 and scored an impressive 3/10 in our review, Dan described it as “deeply flawed” and “like the game hasn’t been play-tested.”
If you wish to sample just how dire the game is – but possibly hamper  I-Friqiya’s attempts at a World record – Fuel Overdose is  has 83% off for the next two days and is only 1.99€ instead of 11.99€ on the European PlayStation Store .

So even after you roll this particular turd in glitter, there’s still nothing good about it. I’ll help with that world record and refrain from purchasing it. ;-)

“although quite how our 1/10 review gets converted in to 30/100 is anyone’s guess”
Perhaps because your review says 3/10 and not 1/10. Yes, I simply have nothing else to comment on this game :P

Yes. Shut up. Having a bad day.

I got this email too, and I keep getting spam from them telling me about all the new and amazing stuff they’re doing.
I did have to laugh when this one arrived today though.

Why are there so many sites/magazines that give it such a great rating????

Surely that bizzarro Uncharted rip off from Egypt or Africa or wherever will’ve sold less than this?

Dunno, I think they played up the “First game for the Saudi market” thing so that may have got them some sales.

That boobilicious cyborg girl doesn’t look very Saudi…

So the “part of the truth regarding the current situation of the digital download markets” that they’ve unveiled is that if you release a rubbish game digitally, it still won’t sell any better than it would at retail.

A dire, untested game that isn’t at least fun to play, regardless if its digital or on a disc, is still dire. Maybe they should take the criticism on board and make a better game.

If this is such a bad game, why so many accolades? There must be twenty accolades through out this video. Crazy!

Have you heard of any sites they are posting scores from?
