In First Impressions, Krystalle takes on a MMOG and reports back at what you can expect from the game. Is it painful? Awesome? Find out as she takes an unscientific (and highly opinionated) view of a game you may not have seen. Also remember, this is not a review; simply a First Impression - as such, we always recommend you give games that seem interesting a shot and decide for yourself.
Cartoon Network's MMO, FusionFall, is definitely a strong first entry into the market. With the Cartoon Network stars as the basis for their IP, and many industry names involved in the project, the hopes have been high. The story is set in a future version of Cartoon Network's own variant of Earth, where the characters are now teenagers - and a bit more anime-styled than their counterparts we know from TV. The premise is that Planet Fusion, a big nasty greenish planet-devouring ball of space-muck run by a terribad guy named Fuse, has come to snack on our beloved home. The only thing standing between Fuse, his sludge minions and the total annihilation of Future Earth is you - and the people playing in the world with you. Along the way Fuse is also spawning evil green versions of all the Cartoon Network characters to aid him in his sinister plan.
Now that you've got the general back-story, I've included the FusionFall opening cinematic behind the cut to set the mood before we move on. So far as opening cinematics for web-based games go, this one is definitely worth watching. From there, be sure to jump into the gallery for the full First Impressions on FusionFall.

Like the fact there is a heavy rock sound-track to the trailer.

I don't know where other people are on this, and I'm guessing I'm in a minority, but I like "limited chat" options. Planetside had a nice, robust voice tree you could use to quickly ask for help or issue commands (if you had the hotkeys memorized, which happens easily over time), and games like Phantasy Star Online even had their chat menu translated into many languages, so English, German and Japanese speaking players could all communicate without any problem. I hope to see this option in more MMOs. It beats having to stop and type sometime, if all you want to say is "thanks" or "congrats".

Yet a other MMO that does not add anything new and is noting but a milk train for some IP this one even take the complete IPS of cartoon network.... That by the way is a complete ripoff of some fan comic that was done like 4 years ago....
Sure Dexter and DeeDee are good to show up in this crappy MMO that is make to milk out the kids around 6 bucks a month! But Cartoon Network did not make any new Dexter and Deedee cartoons 2003.

This looks like the best game EVER. I say this as a 19 year male.
