Professional Review (2.5 out of 10)


This game sucks now that all the actors have quit and they killed off all the primary characters like morpheus and cypher. The story in the online RPG used to be told in chapters until all the actors quit. Now they just show some storyboards with some hammy voice acting. YET THEY STILL CHARGE YOU THE SAME AMOUNT!

A Major problem alot of people have is that your character can reach level 50 yet the enemies only go up to level 25 providing no challenge after the initial 24 hour experience. Its a better social networking site and it does this quite well by allowing you to interact with other players and use emotes like dance and sit. I feel they should of had more emotes like WoW instead of just dance sit etc. An odd thing is that the matrix is supposed to contain all of humanity. Yet its all white people so apparently the matrix was really invented by hitler. This is why the writers and actors quit the project unfortunately. This is an excellent idea on paper but once sony took t over th implementation of that idea went downhill.

So after level 25 your granted access to interact with NEO an NPC who is always there but ignores you like a buffoon and just stands there. At level 25 he tells you that you have "ascended". WOW!
Then NEO sends you on a bunch of fetch quests for him that involve tracking down rogue spies in ZION outside the mainframe. Its kind of cool piloting the ship but they could have added some better missions than pick up this pipe or searching for broken wires to repair. At level 30 Neo goes through his transformation revealing he is actually not human but the collective consciousness of the earth itself.

WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT!

so anyways he then sends you on more quests and after about the 10th one they just stop and he goes back to standing there like a tool. The war mechs should have been used to battle sentinels not move things around. When he gave me the mech quest i was hoping for something better than just moving solar generators from one place to another.

All in all I expected alot more from a current game. The graphics are very poor and there is relatively no challenge so I am guess the target audience is 13-16 due to its rating. Any online coop experience is always ruined due to the overwhelming number of children who play this game for free since they get keys to demo the games and just keep playing free instead of ever signing up. It seems they play solely to ruin the enjoyment for the paying members.

Dude... what the *beep* are you on about?
I've played this game since beta and everything i've read there is utter *beep* the only true thing is that Morpheus died, but even then nobody knows if he is actually dead.
