FusionFall Retail Launches Tomorrow
Cartoon Network has always done a very good job a monetizing their franchises. Now, they have decided to roll them up into one big mega franchise called FusionFall. After partnering up with Majesco they released a open beta of the massively multiplayer online game earlier this month. And now, the game has gone gold.
The full retail release debuts tomorrow, and the package includes the game, a free 4 month subscription, and game guide that details the works of the game assets, as well as includes a code for two exclusive outfits. You get all this for the low, low price of $19.99.
FusionFall is a game set in the Cartoon Network universe, featuring characters from everything from Samurai Jack to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. If you like Phantasy Star Online, the game follows a similar format, only without a solid leveling system. The game will normally run with a monthly subscription fee of $5.95.

The first massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) for kids, and a major initiative for the network, FusionFall is set within a re-imagined Cartoon Network universe where players must rally together to defend the world from an epic alien invasion. The Victory Pack Exclusive retail version of FusionFall is loaded with extras including: a four month subscription to the online game, an in-depth game guide with details of all "Nanos," monsters and adventure paths, and codes for two exclusive outfit and weapon sets only available in the Victory Pack.
"FusionFall is an innovative and groundbreaking MMOG that will appeal to the legions of Cartoon Network fans," said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations, Majesco.

"Building off of this excitement, we're pleased to partner with Majesco to offer fans an extension of the game at retail day and date with its online launch." The intergalactic conqueror Planet Fusion is invading the Cartoon Network world - warping terrain, corrupting the environment, and creating evil Cartoon Network character clones! Players must team up with the online community and more than 50 characters from some of Cartoon Network's most popular shows - including Ben 10 Alien Force, Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Ed, Edd' n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Kids Next Door, Samurai Jack, and many more, to restore order to the Cartoon Network universe. After creating their own unique avatar, players will explore a massive 17-plus square kilometer area with 60 playable zones including familiar areas from Cartoon Network shows and fusion "infected" areas.
Created through a partnership with leading Korean MMOG developer Grigon Entertainment, FusionFall is a mix of 3-D console platform game action and all the customization, character development and open-ended world exploration of a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). New, expanded content will be added to the game regularly. Players can collect a variety of items throughout the game, including more than 30 customizable "Nanos" - tiny stylized versions of Cartoon Network's most famous characters - that provide special powers and abilities across more than 600 unique missions. In addition, FusionFall's distinctive visual approach combines an all-new cel-shaded anime style fit within the familiar look and feel of Cartoon Network.
Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and up, the Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall Victory Pack Exclusive for PC and Mac is now available for the suggested retail price of $19.99.

Odd, I guess these folks forgot that there's already "kids MMO's" out there, or did Toontown Online or Club Penguin never happen? They're billing themselves as "The first massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) for kids"...
Whatever floats their boats, I guess.
I love Cartoon Network's properties as much as the next guy (well, some of them anyway), but does the world really need an(other) MMOG for kids?!
This product sounds as necessary as "cereal straws," or Nerds with caffeinated intravenous drip. :/
