No, you're not Neo, you're different Monolith Production, mother of The Matrix Online, struggled to make a MMORPG, not unlike anything else. And it did, I did. Do not really like. Roughly the same pyatiruky eyed boy shestidesyatipaltsevy mutant does not look like your neighbor Basil. Exclusive details - a pair of lines below.
Classic MMORPG-concept deconstructs "the Matrix", even with some beauty and elegance. Say, "hunting". You ever play in the World of Warcraft, at least in Everquest II, though generally in Shadowbane, you are constantly hunting for wandering through the fields and forests of wild beasts. Track down the right animal, gently lure him out of relatives, carefully maneuvering between the groups of monsters take on an empty area and there have to cut - in all MMORPG in one way or another, this process is present. In all but The Matrix Online. In the premises, in principle, no hunting is not possible - the potential game often throws out a huge herd in the next room and begins to furiously kick the hunter in the kidneys. As an option - until the hunter humiliated one doomed, the other stand by and silently watched, occasionally spitting out the husks of the seeds. Particularly ingenious can rush to the rescue, but do not have time to slip into the open door - the door closes, after which the rescuers will wait for their turn in the other room. It's funny, right? On the streets is not less than comical - or you attack a herd (victim walking in groups of three - minimum), or close to no enemies at all. In this case, I dare say, there is the ability, as «evade combat», when you turn on which you attempted to pounce on the enemy flies back to five feet, and you quietly keep going, to go.

Simply put, we tried to discover in the game at least some military tactics (other than a running jump into the crowd of dark armed women and men), but could not find anything.
Number two today is the mission system. She ... it is monstrous. A phone call to a mobile phone with one of three competing concessions (Zion, Machines and the Merovingian), you are given the coordinates of the building to be fighting for a brighter future.After reaching a convenient opportunity to correct door, you call the elevator and go up to the desired floor, where you are waiting for the generated specifically for this particular job apartment (a la instance of World of Warcraft). At thereof apartment has a number of enemies and an object-goal of the mission, which need to talk / take a walk in the fresh air / defend against the attacks of hostile enemies, and so on in the same spirit. Having dealt with the opposition for the moment you leave home, going to another apartment (if you have something to deliver, or someone to accompany) or on the next mission. All these twists and turns are actually more boring than it seems from the text: all entrances are the same, all the elevators are the same, all apartments are identical, with identical rooms, the same NPC, the same enemies. Cruelest of deja vu wash over - here I was, was, was. In this room, I saved someone, in this, by contrast, killed, then I hacked the computer, and then - spoke with a possible "red pill" (see movie). You must perform a series of half a dozen jobs before you send in some more or less the original location. Much of a difference, however, between the slums and gleaming office buildings there - and both are equally sad. Over time, curry favor with a faction, you can choose the type of "entertainment" (except with quotation marks to write the word can not), but the fundamental difference between them - the same visit all those areas as boring. The level of the passions heroic life like everyday pizza peddler, forced from time to time to deliver "two large ham and mushrooms in the same office.

Of good news - the combat system. Onaya system is fairly commonplace - in a fight you pick combat style you wish to use (one suitable to cause maximum damage in a short time, another more profitable use to disarm the enemy, etc.), plus from time to time lupite enemy special abilities: from nasylaniya terrible virus (similar to spells in normal play) to all sorts of clever beats (for melee) and shots (it's already on hand guns) - nothing unusual. But here's how it looks like a fight - my mother dear! Fighting with all the swirls fool each other mighty blows to the groin, abdomen and knee (in this case received a splash suitable manner - after getting kicked in the groin miserable writhing, holding hands in the perineum), beautiful finishes with a header in the head, even more beautiful shy away from others' fists and suschimi macaques uprygivayut from flying bullets in them. Promised slo-mo is, but in a completely homeopathic quantities. MMORPG - it will not Max Payne.
| The origins of the Matrix |
The Matrix Online is based on the original trilogy Wachowski brothers, about the life and remarkable adventures of a young man named Neo. The said Neo discovers that all his familiar world is really nothing more than an illusion, a gigantic matrix, supported by evil machines. This matrix is splashing in the minds of ordinary townsfolk, in an eternal trance, lying in a special capsule, and generating the necessary energy machines. In this world, stayed for just one city of free people, who are trying to destroy the evil piece of iron. The film delighted audiences many previously unknown effects and introduced the fashion of slow-motion.

Role system leaves quite a strange sensation. There are, roughly speaking, the abilities and stats of the character. The statistics do not have the usual parameters, such as "strength" or "agility" (whom she, in actual fact, we need the Matrix?), But there is, for example, perception, positive impact on ... kung-fu and other aikido. With the ability to get interesting - they are just like in the movie, completely free loaded into memory (the memory, of course, not rubber), allowing for a certain desire to immediately retrain from the master of kung fu in experienced hands, or at all, apologize to the hacker ( for a decent amount - the ability to be developed, paying for the development of currency). In this case, because of the well-known computer-hacking game themes, names and descriptions of other features make a respectable audience almost beat in hysterics. Well, what more, tell me to do, seeing «Processor Lag», causing some damage in the second, or there «Proxy», creating security for yourself, your favorite? Nezamutnennym kids will love. However, the game does not go very far away from the film, and that we nice.
| Mass paranoia |
After reaching the screens of the trilogy, a lot of young people talk about that, they say, and this is quite the real world, too, is a matrix. Some have even seen the sort of agents in the Moscow subway. It is clear that having such a paranoid public, to make a computer game based on - a pleasure. And The Matrix Online this paranoia is trying all means to develop - from the choice of blue or red pill at the beginning of the game and ending with the menu item «jack into matrix» (that is, enter the game world), plus a branded bars running numbers on the connection. In general, the already fragile mental organization of some friends playing in irreparable damage, you'll see.

The features described above, you can either buy on the local market (which is not always right, and it is often quite decent), or to collect himself on the knee, using a variety of «code_bits», convertible into «code_fragments». In turn, have pieces of code with a certain probability of success are transformed into finished "ability". If you're not succeed - do not despair. Sweet mocked because of shattered fragments of code and go to re-assemble the bits from the bodies of enemies.
Finally, I note that the form of a-la "The Matrix" shows us a authentic music every time you log into the game, looks pretty cool the first five or six times. Further, it becomes annoying, and another dozen times - just enrage (required commercials for a moment to stand and wait until the end digital orgy). This is called "vypendritsya, dear friends.

ROUTE SELECTED In general, the game is what is called "the amateur". Loyal fans of the trilogy (which is all three movies, not just the first, which is really interesting, filled with beautiful fire and a minimum philosophaster) will be satisfied. Their favorite atmosphere respected in the game to the fullest. All others shrug their shoulders and go play World of Warcraft.
