Wow. I am so surprised by that, especially given the huge buzz and acclaim of 2097 and the impressive marketing of WO3. Fusion seemed to just slip on to the shelves with average reviews and no buzz at all except for those hanging around the Fusion boards and even things there went a little sour when the Australian version came out.

That it did better with all of that is quite shocking and pretty much discounts any thoughts I had on what the appeal of the game is. My world has been shaken.
