4.0 out of 5 stars Good Game For Fans, Has A Few Flaws, November 15, 2005

This review is from: Matrix Path of Neo (Video Game)

This is the game that should have been instead of Enter the Matrix. It is so much fun playing as Neo on a Matrix game. I haven't finished yet; but for what I have played, I have been almost 100% satisfied with the game but like all games, this has a few flaws.

One of the good parts about the game is that the controls are excellent. Neo pulls off some awesomely fantastic moves. The graphics are points are great, but at other points not so great. I agree that they could have been better. The fun factor is great, it is fun. The game is long, I've been playing for a few hours and I'm still on the first movie. The game also follows the movie almost exactly; some parts can be changed if you choose to do things different that what was seen on the movie.

There are some down sides to this game. The camera angles sometimes moves to places where you can't see some of the things that are going on screen. When you die or skip the story, some of the noise is occasionally lost during some battles. The only other big problem I have seen with the game is what Jeffrey S. Stanley "Viper_29 said that when the guns are used and I lock on to opponents, when they die the lock automatically aims at the floor instead of the next bad guy and it can be at times frustrating.

Overall great game, fans of the Matrix will love it, but it does have flaws. I do recommend this game

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa..., November 8, 2005

This review is from: Matrix Path of Neo (Video Game)

This is the game "Enter the Matrix" had wet dreams about. Fluid control, a deceptively deep combat system, and more jaw dropping fight scenes than you can shake a 9mm at. The gun combat could be a little more finely tuned, but it works. Though who would want to use a gun when you can run across a wall, jump off and spear someone to the floor, pick them up by their legs, swing them around in circles, and launch them at a group of their homies? Because you can do that.

This review is from: Matrix Path of Neo (Video Game)

Hey, what can i say? THIS game is much more like what the first game should've been.
This game is not linear as other reviewer(s) have suggested.
Yes, it follows a VERY familliar story-line for fans of the series. But, this program allows you to act out some of the BEST battles that NEO had to offer within the trilogy.
The way they meshed the movie bits with a new perspective was very nice. 600 DIFFERENT ATTACKS! I think that's incredible.
Some are so creative you'll find yourself attached to them more than others. But, there are so darn many you may never use all of them! New characters written in by the Wachowski's , come new environments, and the original voice actors. Better graphics than the first, better action. Easier to control characters.
The only complaint i have is that your friends AI is not all too smart. Once in a while they'll walk right in front of you while you're shooting and bite the big one. Or, stand too close when you detonate a bomb and (again) bite the big one.
Other than that, this was as great as i expected it to be.
I'm not even a die hard fan of the movie franchise.
I am, however, a fan of this game. A fun program whether you're a hardcore fan or not. But, it does help to know at least a little about the movie first.
