Shocked!!
User Rating: 9.2 | The Matrix Online PC
First off I must say that I was very skeptical about a "Matrix Online" game, I guess I just thought it would be horrid and just not well executed.... Man was I wrong!! This MMORPG is by far the best yet, ive played other MMOs like: FFXI, WoW, SWG.. and none of them even compare to this. This game truly makes you feel like you are in the Matrix. Graphics- 9.0 - You don't need a super computer to run this game but if you want to admire the awesome character models and huge skyscrapers on their best settings, it would help. Character models are very well animated, the combat/gun-play is very cool to see/do. The environments are mostly huge cities consisting of parks/plazas and huge buildings, wich also look great. Only downside to the really awesome graphics is the amount of RAM the game uses, also if you don't have a high speed DSL/Cable connection it will be hard for you to enjoy MxO. Gameplay- 9.0 - The combat in MxO is very easy to use but at the same time really involved, you dont just select an attack and watch your character pummel the opponent like in other MMORPGs. Combat in MxO is like dice rolling, when you attack you basically roll a generated number wich is combined to your abilities etc., then is compared to your opponent's, the person who has the highest number attacks. This can be very one sided sometimes, especially when an opponent is significantly stronger than you. The missions you can do in this game are really cool, they range from easy - hard, yes you can select a difficulty. Once you get a hang of leveling up, and upgrading your character, you can party with other players and either do missions together or just kill. It is also possible to duel other players(PvP) which is also very fun. If you ever happen to get bored with doing missions or killing, you can go to one of the dance clubs and hang out with other players, or get married... or you can just wander around the city.. careful though, its crawling with enemies. There is also a really deep storyline, which the developers actually take part in-game. Some bugs here and there but the devs are really working their butts off ironing them out. Sound - 9.0 - Just like the movies! Value - 10.0 - Definitely worth every penny! So far MxO is shaping up to be one of the best MMORPGs of all time, and if things keep going the way they are it will be there soon! I suggest this game to anyone who enjoys RPGs or the Matrix series for that matter. If you have any questions regarding the game please e-mail me; vegeta9866@yahoo.com. Peace.
