    At first, The Matrix Online is like a dream come true: your own Matrix. But then the cold, cold flames of its boring concrete hell, known as a game world start to get to you.

It’s as soulless as the world it tries to emulate. [June 2005, p.76]

Think of the appaling Enter the Matrix without the plot line and in multiplayer. The 'bullet time' is a novilty at best and leads you to believe that "Lag" is now classed as a feature.… Full Review »

    Mad props to them for leaving the outline of the story, after this MMO got cancelled. However, it is definitely dated.
