The Matrix universe has not fared too well since the original movie captured the imaginations of moviegoers back in 1999. Two increasingly disappointing sequels, a disjointed collection of animation in the Animatrix, and a mediocre video game have all conspired to take the luster off of a movie that ranks near the top of every gamer’s list of favorite films. Enter The Matrix Online (TMO), an online MMORPG that will try to convince gamers that The Matrix universe remains an interesting and fascinating reality even after the talk-heavy snooze-fest that was The Matrix Revolutions. That’s a lot of pressure for the game to shoulder – succeed and The Matrix will recapture its magic and the imaginations of gamers, fail and The Matrix falls further down the rabbit hole of disappointment. TMO lands somewhere in between these two extremes; it has its good points but it is not the “One” who can help The Matrix regain its former glory.
