Matrix Online? Anyone?
Remember back when The Matrix first came out and it blew you away? You couldn’t get enough of the cool fight scenes, the cool clothes, the awesome concept … everything was just so freaking cool. And then remember how excited you were when you heard they were going to shoot not just one but two sequels back-to-back? More cool fight scenes, more “worlds within worlds” concepts, more of everything which made The Matrix so damn cool?
And then the hype started … and then it got out of hand … and then it got way out of hand … and then it got so out of hand that made you hate The Matrix and everything related to The Matrix? And then you saw the movies ... and they sure didn't help any.
I’m just mentioning this because The Matrix Online comes out today. Wow, remember when you used to care about this game? So … when does God of War come out again?
Want it. Now.

Posted by Tarious at March 22, 2005 8:09 PMJust another hashed out cash cow IMO.
Posted by CrimsonSapien at March 23, 2005 4:03 AMI'm so NOT interested in this. If they had come out with this after the first movie and before the second and third, they might have had a chance to get people to go for it.
Posted by Trevor at March 23, 2005 11:27 AMThis game was obviously not ready when it was launched.
It is filled with bugs that really weaken your enjoyment of the game.
When you've reached the middle of the level tree, the game seems very monotone and you get little enjoyment from it.
And a note to all of my fellow explorers out there:
If you thrive at exploring new worlds, you'll be able to explore the whole "mega city" very early in the game. And then what?
Now you've explored the whole thing and you're going to be stuck with it until they add new areas. Pretty boring if you ask me, as it removes an important gameplay element very early on.
Ive seen alot of videos from this game. It very much looks like CoH (City of Heroes) Only the combat doesnt look fun at all. Its been abused to a sickining point with the old F1,F2,F3 specials combat style. Till they make a mmorpg that has combat like say "God Of War" Im out.
