The Matrix Online: Reloaded
Since it's launch 18+ months ago The Matrix Online (MxO) has gone through many trials and tribulations. It has moved from the smaller development lounge of Monolith over to the multi-game platform of Sony Online Entertainment.

At first this seemed like a terrible thing to everyone. Monolith had given us Live events, interaction with the movie characters and easy communications tools to allow out of game and in game contact. SOE cut most of these in the transition.

However SOE have not let us down. Since the transision there have been numerous updates to the game adding new content (PAndoras Box, Archived missions, Construct quest) and completly revising the combat system with CR2.0. The combat, which varies wildly from a Hacker (Wizard class) to Kung Fu Grandmaster and all in between, is now fluid and concise. It works. There is no other game out there that comes close to the intricacy and general "coolness" of Interlock.

The game still has problems, certainly, Lag is one of the most iritating but it is not as bad as some make out. You can avoid the worst of it and counter much of it with a good computer and internet connection. And ther are less Live Events, which is unfortunate. But the bugs and the minor problems (that are so often emphasised by those that dislike the game) do not detract from the overall enjoyment of The Matrix Online.

The game looks good, flows well and has plenty of content for the casual gamer. For the more hardcore MMO player it has one of the richest Roleplaying communites around and a healthy and dedicated PvP server. If you want something that isn't about Elves and Goblins flipping pancakes...or something or other...then try The Matrix Online.

One of the best MMORPG's out there
Iv'e been playing this over the last week and I must say that it is as good of an MMORPG as the leading contenders(EQ2, WOW ect)

I currently play EQ2, WoW and SWG on and off and this game is just as good(If not better)it's own way. If you are a fan of the Matrix you will NOT be dissapointed at all. Despite what people have said here with their negative reviews, I would say you would only not like this game if you simply cannot stand the Matrix. It has all the good elements of a well put together RPG and some unique traits of it's own, such as Interlock combat and a propper evolving story line. It has a great 'involved' feel to it while your playing that other MMORPG's fail to have. Don't be put off by it's reletively smaller player base either(compared to World of Warcraft). The community is solid and the friendliest I have ever met. Within 2 seconds of 'Jacking In' I got an Invite to join a crew and I have had 4 more invites over the past week from crew captains willing to help new players. I would say the lower player numbers comparted to WoW or EQ2 will be due to this being 'The Matrix' and not a generic fantasy or Sci-Fi RPG so it has a certain appeal to it at first glance. This game does not lack quality in any way.

Take the red pill and join us.

great fun
good game no lag and cheap monthly fee
graphically the game is about standard throughout the mmorpg's i've played. all the people who say it has lag, where and when in the game. i have a 512kb connection and game runs fine. when theres a lot on the screen it slows a little. the combat system takes a little getting used to but once u've got to grips with it the combat flows easily. if your a fan of the matrix universe and even if not this game should appeal to you.
