A review of the pretty, but ultimately unsatisfiying, new kids’ game, Fusionfall.

FusionFall is gorgeous.

Wait, that’s not how to start a review. Let me try again.

FusionFall, the new MMO from Cartoon Network, takes place a few years in the future. Players must help the Cartoon Network
crowd, including older versions of Dexter and Deedee and the Powerpuff
girls (as well as some other faces I’m too out-of-touch to recognize)
must try to save Earth from the evil overlord Fuse of the evil green
Planet Fusion. Combat was blood-free, zapping clearly-defined bad guys,
as is appropriate for a kid’s game.

And this game is gorgeous. Did I mention how pretty?

I loved the anime, teenage versions of the PowerPuff girls. Player
characters are also anime-influenced. Character creation offers a lot
of options, not quite City Of Heroes
level, but much more customizable than the average MUD. By doing this,
FusionFall avoids the common MMORPG problem of having dozens of
identical avatars running around, an annoyance I remember in EverQuest2 and sometimes in low-level WoW characters.
