The latest Matrix Online review comes courtesy of 2404.org, with a score of 6/10:
At first experience, you DO feel as if you are in the Matrix. Sights, sounds, colors, and tasks all contribute to a decent parallel with the green-code world. The game begins to break down conceptually before you even begin to play, however. Typos, repeated text, and 1-to-1 character class comparisons to standard fantasy RPG roles are found right in the manual. An Operative class is more of a “warrior”, whereas a Hacker is a “mage.” To compare these classes hollows out the value and originality that the Matrix movies are known for. There is a lot of material for game developers to work with, and to strive to fit an MMO formula really damages the credibility of the game before it is even installed. What's more, the writing in the manual, in the subscriber emails, and in the game is often poor and not up to the standard set by the brothers who so carefully crafted the films this game is based on.
