The Matrix Online has its work cut out for it. The last two movies in the trilogy didn't quite measure up to most fans' expectations, and the franchise's only other video game incarnation was largely regarded as a poorly-wrought failure. It wouldn't be entirely off base to regardMxO as the The Matrix's last chance at continued relevance, a fact that doesn't appear to be lost on Warner Bros. The entertainment giant seems to be taking the game very seriously, putting a significant amount of effort into making MxO distinctive from the multitude of MMOs on the market. After a few weeks of playtesting, it's easy to see that The Matrix Online has a lot of promise, especially with regard to the many special "live events" planned for the next few months, but it still has a ways to go before it can be considered one of the big boys in the genre.
