The Matrix Online Preview

GamersInfo has put together a preview of The Matrix Online, based upon their impressions during the game’s beta testing (which has just concluded). Take a look:

After your basic UI training you’ll enter combat training. From here MXO departs a bit from your standard MMO. You’ve got basic combat and range (shooting) moves you’ll learn to use. Combat is a matter of choosing what type of attack you want to use, for example speed or strength, and queuing it against whatever move your opponent has chosen. Each move is a comparison of a number representing your skill in that move vs. the skill of your opponent. The larger number wins. You also have “special” moves that take time to recharge – I particularly liked the Cheap Shot – as a female fighting primarily men when, I wasn’t stomping on their heads when they were down. I was kicking them in such a manner as to well.make all other men in the area cringe.
