Codemasters’ Fuel has just received the Guinness World Record for the largest playable environment available in a video game with 5,560 square miles of traversable terrain.

Electronic Theatre is reporting on the recent Guinness World Record that Fuel set with its super-large gameplay environment.

“We knew FUEL was going to be big,” said Phil Wright, Producer, Codemasters, “but to have this confirmed officially by Guinness World Records justifies our faith in this ground-breaking title. No other game comes close to offering the variety of environments, the range of vehicles or the sheer size of FUEL. It’s one of the most innovative racers ever, and we’re thrilled it’s been recognised as the biggest console game of all time.”

The entire game world is so large that it would technically take 3 full hours to travel from one end of the game world to the other. Insane, eh? Well, that’s why it set a record. To celebrate this achievement Codemasters released some new videos of the game that you can check out at the Official Fuel Website.
