Great game! Great fun! but lacks substance
User Rating: 7.8 | The Matrix Online PC
I will firstly say that i love the matrix plot, but matrix online somehow leaves you with a cold, distorted feeling, preventing you to comeback to the game knowing that you are getting your monies worth. Firstly the graphics are very good, from the guns to the character models its great, the only problem that i encountered was the scenery. In games such as world of warcraft and everquest 2 they dont take there environments forgranted and construct beautiful scenes but matrix online's suburban feel doesnt give me any thrills. The gameplay in the matrix is fun... to an extent, but even though it is hard to depict the gameplay in a mmorpg i just didnt feel that i was using the abilities that the matrix movies endorsed. The Sound is beautiful, the gun sounds to the fist punches. I will just say that Monolith has not "bombed out" on this section. Value... i will let you the reader decide this as many different people have mixed feelings on subscriptions to games. Matrix online has its faults but for the most part it is really a great game, worth trying if your a fan to the matrix series. If your a fan of the fantasy genre then your safer to stick with something such as W.o.W or EQ2.
