Is MxO Better Than Enter the Matrix?

Is the MMO better than the xbox/ps2 Enter the Matrix/Path of Neo?
It sounds like the MMO has a lot of level grinding/repetitive missions. So, aside from the Live Events, why not just play the single-player game?

Just bought PoN today so can't speak to that, but I loved EtM so I can do that comparison.
1. Social aspect. No weddings or parties, or in-game live radio stations with contests/parties/etc in the single-player games.
2. Unfolding Story (know Etm by heart by now. Any time you log into MxO lots could have changed suddenly).
Plus there's the whole point of PoN and EtM are during the war, MxO is dealing with the aftermath, trying to create a whole new world for Machines, humans, and exiles (depending on who you side with whether exiles get included in that).
3. Role-playing (kind of the whole point to a MMORPG for me). EtM, PoN, your character is set. This is who you are, period. MxO you can be anyone you want to be (with exception of established franchise characters). And explore far more of the MegaCity that the movies or other games covered.
Whether these are the reasons to sway you I don't know, but they work for me.
From a wider angle, it sounds like your question is more towards 'why ever play an mmo rather than a single-player' which is far more geared to your playstyle and whether you enjoy mmo's.
The only mmorpg I've seen personally that doesn't have grinding is Auto Assault (and one game out of a very dense genre tells you just how much grinding there is out there), so if that's the sticking point for you, I'm betting you won't like most MMORPGs
But that's just my two cents
EtM has some very fun parts to it, but then it fails in other parts so horribly, you forget the great parts!
As for MxO, you really can get into the game, and the live events make it a blast.

AA do have grinding.. An mmo that dont have would be EVE online..
But I don't understand what you think is so wrong about EtM.. I loved it and cant wait to try out PoN.
Please tell me, what is so bad about EtM?
