The Matrix Online Combat Preview

GameSpy has put together another two-page preview for The Matrix Online, this time focusing on the game's combat. An excerpt to follow:
So far, however, it seems that the battles are designed almost exclusively for one-on-one encounters. As in any MMO, you're going to encounter enemies hanging around the game's areas, most often in groups. If you choose to engage one, it's all Interlock -- until one of its cohorts chooses to jump in. At this point, it's been difficult to engage more than one enemy. You either have to focus on one and move to the next once the first drops, or haphazardly engage and disengage, and battle them both at once. It doesn't seem that the system, in its current form, is very conducive to Interlocking with more than one opponent at a time, which is a shame, as that could make for some pretty exciting combat sequences. Hopefully, that kind of update is in the works.
