style="font-style: italic;">Parents and children come
together in FusionFall.

Adults will appreciate the safety features built into style="font-style: italic;">FusionFall to
protect their children. Since only adults have the credit cards
necessary to pay a monthly subscription, free accounts to do not have
full chat or forums capabilities. This means your child can never sign
up for a free account behind your back and unwittingly give his
information to a predator. Futhermore, subscribers gain control of a
master account that allows them to set restrictions on things such as
access to the forums, chat abilities, and buddy permissions. The result
is an online gaming world where you can feel your child is safe.

Outside of the safety checks built into style="font-style: italic;">FusionFall, expect
many parents to play with their children. The gameplay is nothing
earth-shattering, but neither is it standard “kiddie” fare. The combat
is a little twitchy and nurtures a competitive gamer’s edge without
scaring off non-competitive gamers. Above all else,  href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/61597" target="_blank">the
price is right. For only $10/month, parents can get unlimited
access (the full game, in other words) for four accounts. The
children’s accounts can be individually tweaked to suit their age
and/or maturity level from the security of the parent’s master account.
The value on this Family Plan is extremely high, and it offers adults
and children a safe way to come together and play. I can’t imagine any
gamer parent who wouldn’t take this opportunity to spend more time with
her children, and I think some non-gamer parents will be sucked in as
well. for more information, check out href="http://tentonhamster.com/node/3125" target="_blank">the

FusionFall
does not use a
class system, and players learn the same
skills each time through the game. style="font-style: italic;">

Nobody’s
Perfect, Right?

So far, everything I have said about style="font-style: italic;">FusionFall has been
positive, but I did find some problems with the title worth mentioning.
First and foremost, the game is very linear. Some missions can be
completed in different orders, but there is a definite story arc in the
game; players won’t find much room to deviate from the main path. The
lack of exploration and flexibility results in an experience “on rails”
and provides little replay value. Added to that is the fact that there
are no real classes in the game. It’s not going to play any different
with a new character.

Players can try FusionFall
for free, but free accounts have limited functionality. You will be
unable to use keyboard chat in-game or the forums as noted earlier, and
you can access only 11% of the nanos and a handful of the missions. In
short, the free game is a trial. Keep that in mind, and everything will
be fine.

Parting Thoughts

If you are a parent of a child who likes gaming and the
Cartoon Network, you can stop reading now. Go play style="font-style: italic;">FusionFall with
your kids. If you are on the fence, just understand what you are
getting into. FusionFall
is an enjoyable experience with outstanding value for the price. Expect
a relatively short, linear game with little replay value, but expect to
have a lot of fun along the way. FusionFall
does not bring much gameplay innovation to the table, but it serves up
heaping helpings of brand recognition and family entertainment.
