The Matrix Online Will Launch Next Month

Today it was announced that the official MMORPG of the semi-classic Matrix trilogy will launch in the US on March 22nd. The European launch will follow a month later on April 8th.
To be honest though, any excitement I held for this one has died down completely. For starters, recent movie footage on GameTrailers.com demonstrated the sheer and absolute lameness of the combat system in all its craptastic glory. I mean if ever an MMORPG cried out for a real-time button bashing fighting system, it was this one. Watching the online tutorial walk us through a typical Matrix Online battle is unfortunately comedic in its pure dullness.
More importantly, World of Warcraft's launch has raised the bar significantly for this genre, and we've seen very little to suspect this one will be able to reach it.
Still, I'm not a pessimist, and hope to be pleasantly surprised this time next month. But with that out of the way, back to WoW...
