Kickass, but it does cost ya.

I was in the Beta/Stress test for this title and it seriously has a lot of potential. Great fighting system, that sort resembles City of Heroes if you've played that. You can choose you character's field of expertise as you level up. The great thing though, is that you can change you expertise whenever you want(as long as you have the cash to do so), so if you get sick of Kung-fu, switch to Karate or Aikido, sick of hand to hand, switch to a virus sending hacker, or be an asset to your team by being a patcher/healer. Literally dozens of different moves for each that you earn as you level up.

Also worked in is a great chat system, allowing you to speak to those in your area, team, crew, or faction.

You can choose to join a faction and thereby choose your alliance, either with the Machines, the Zionists, or the Exiles, or you can simply work for all of them and go it alone.

Tons of great features make this a worthy way to spend the fifty bucks. HOWEVER, you of course will also have to pay a fifteen dollar a month subsription after the 30 day free trial. Of course that's pretty much the case with all MMPORPG's. So you make the call, That's 50 up front and about 180 a year in addition to that if you want to play it since obviously The Matrix ONLINE has no offline functionality.
