Game Review
Browser-based game developer Funtactix announced that it is releasing Rango: The World, an online game based on Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies' upcoming animated feature film.

"Rango: The World is the first announced game that uses our revolutionary 'The World' solution, which lets us bring animation film assets into a web-based game without compromising fidelity or authenticity,” says Funtactix CEO Sam Glassenberg.

Paramount Digital Entertainment enters the online video game space with a new multi-year partnership with casual game developer Funtactix. The WORLD, an online multiplayer game, will launch in conjunction with the March 4 theatrical release.

"For Rango: The WORLD, we're creating a living online universe, a place for fans of the film to enter the world, to create their own persona so they can socialize, explore, compete and play," said Sam Glassenberg, CEO of Funtactix. Rango: The WORLD is free-to-play and doesn't require a game console.

Funtactix has been developing online and browser-based casual games since 2006, including the award-winning Moondo browser-based 3D multiplayer action game. Although computer animated movies allow the game developer to utilize digital assets from the film, Glassenberg said his studio is also working closely with Paramount on bringing live action films to the online games space using "The WORLD" solution.

Funtactix will premier "Rango: The World" alongside the film on March 4. The online multiplayer game will enable fans to encounter the film's characters, create their own characters, invite friends to play and compete in games. Financial details were not disclosed.
