Not only is this an amazing game, as far as games and MMOG’s go, but it is also a unique storytelling experiment. One that has never been attempted before and one that I am extremely excited to be taking part in.
-
Minor bugs aside, the game works, but lacks an inspired storyline and more content. It will frustrate the casual gamers and won't keep a dedicated MMO player hooked for very long. [May 2005, p.90]
-
It's got some very good qualities, but you'll need to wade through a lot of potential frustrations to enjoy them.
-
It isn’t finished for a start: while the game functions, there are way too many bugs, and they often hinder your progress whilst running missions. It’s been a just over a month since MxO’s release and it appears that Monolith are still struggling to get it running smoothly. "There’s a glitch in the Matrix" indeed.
-
By hiring a live events team of twenty or so digital actors and writers to plan events and step into the shoes of the familiar main characters they've been providing opportunities for player involvment in unique plot developments on a surprisingly regular basis, with interesting things happening every few days.
-
While the fighting engine is unique, and the city large and interesting, there isn't much to keep players glued to the game.

Pelaaja (Finland)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. Authentic, constantly developing storyline and one the best combat systems in the genre just don’t save the game from being monotonous and simply not fun to play. It’s as soulless as the world it tries to emulate. [June 2005, p.76]
