By the time I finished up my multi-hour session with the game, I was working with Dexter to help discover why universe's heroes were disappearing, which proved to be a rather intriguing mystery. From that point on, they'll actually work with one of four mentors (Dexter, Mojojojo, Ben Tennyson, or one of the Eds) and help them work on extremely different quests. After aiding them, they fix the time machine and allow players to jump back in time to when the invasion began, before the cartoony world is devastated and looks like a particularly post-apocalyptic version of Cartoon Cartoons. The first few levels of the game require players to run around the world and help various Cartoon Network stars defeat their opponents or clear the land of major monsters that are making what remains of civilized life difficult. As a result, the intro to the game actually takes place in a future where the heroes have pretty much lost the war, and characters deal with grown-up cast members from the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Kids Next Door, and Ben 10, amongst others. Players, however, create unique characters who are brought forward in time to the future by Dexter and wind up a little further than the mad genius intended thanks to his little sister fouling things up. Naturally, the heroes of the Cartoon Universe band together to combat the forces of Planet Fusion in over-the-top and mildly-whacky ways. The idea behind the game is that a celestial blob of green goo is traveling through space that's gobbling up planets as it jets along the cosmos. This past Friday, Cartoon Network held an open beta preview However, Cartoon Network is actually making a serious effort to actually create a title that will meet those various requirements, and after spending some time with Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, it seems safe to say that the company has a viable chance of producing an MMO capable of charming players both young and old.

MMORPGs that are not only kid-friendly but of high quality are pretty much impossible to find, especially ones that also hold appeal for older audiences as well.

Quality kid-friendly games are rather elusive creatures, as are quality MMORPGs.
