Simply a Blast !

This is undeniably a good "movie-to-game" adaptation of the hit trilogy and is also written/ directed by the Wachowskis and edited together by them as well.

It's action-packed, allows the player options on how to advance Neo, you play in training missions set before the film and even when you're playing a level from the movies, it's totally not like the movie. For example, in one mission where you're in a chopper trying to save Morpheus, from the 1st film, the player ends up having to shoot at other people/things besides the Agents like other helicopters and S.W.A.T. team soldiers.

There are tons of missions that explore the vast universe/time line of the films and allow the player to use several "combo" attacks w/ mêlée attacks, guns, swords, staffs, axes,etc. You can even hit people back with your guns, then punch them in slow-motion while they're falling backwards.

The only voice from the series returning is Laurence Fishbourne, but that's not bad because all the voice actors have better voices then the actors that portrayed them in the films ( with the exception of the person who voiced Agent Smith, who is so not Hugo Weaving) !

While I kinda liked "Enter the Matrix" better, this is still a "must-play!"

Quick and Fun Action, it is as simple as that.

I did not really have so high hopes for this game, but still it is always fun to use your kung-fu in slow-motion. Anyway, the game starts of with a challenge that will test your skills and match the difficulty accordingly. I started with Normal,and that was just right for me. Now I'm playing "The one path (Hard)" and it is really hard.

The graphics are pretty cool, although they seem to be an upgrade from "Enter the Matrix", this game would have been really good looking if they had spent more time on the graphic tweaking and so on.

It has some great parts, some boring parts and some mediocre parts.

The worst thing about this game is the sound, i don't think that it is just my computer but the voices seemed so... not alive, and hollow. And some of the final skills, are quite weird. The "Spoon" skill for example, i have never figured out what it actually does, but do not worry you will still get all the other skills.

But still, a fun game and worth playing 2 times, at least!

Decent Game

I would like to consider myself a professional gamer after playing computer games for almost a decade, and I would just like to say that I enjoyed the game! OK the graphics sucks, but there is more to the game than graphics, the fact that they didn't follow the exact scenes as they were displayed in the movie is something that I liked, and the fighting.. oh man the fighting is awesome.. there are A lot of combos, and the kung fu style of fighting is captured great, gun fights are not needed in this game, i swear.

Although I was disappointed that they didn't make any levels not concering the one, I cant blame them cuz the game is about the one after all.. (defending zion could have been some cool ass level) But overall, I liked this game and I recommend it.

8/10

enter the matrix?

Go with enter the matrix? That game was worse than Path of Neo. I'm a huge fan of the series and I was very disappointed in both games, but I do like the fact that the movie was recreated in PoN. In fact, it looks like Atari built PoN on the same infrastructure as EtM. Now however, you get to train in the construct (more believable) instead of running through a post office that is 4 square miles (not believable). And don't get me started on the hovercraft or car driving, that was incredibly horrible. Sure PoN fudges the continuity a little, but the overall plot works great. (the helicopter scene was ridiculous though- Trinity takes off on the roof and Neo just stands there. Then SWAT comes out and you have to run and leap onto the helicopter. Why didn't he get on board?)

Good, but not great

After waiting to be able to play this game for a while I finally had a chance. After playing the first bit, I was really starting to enjoy it, but it started to go downhill after a while. It's a fun game, no doubt about that, but it isn't something that I think I would play twice. If you enjoyed the Matrix, and want to play it, go ahead! It's fun and enjoyable. However if you haven't seen the Matrix and want to play this game, go see the movie (preferably all 3) first. As the movies really tie into the game, it would be best if you saw at least the first one before playing.

The game is okay for graphics (could be better) and the sound/audio is okay, but there are some bugs that you may run into, and some of the levels are just ridiculously annoying. But aside from these minor setbacks, it's a pretty good game.

Trivia
Andrew Bowen lends his voice to Neo, who was played by Keanu Reeves. Bowen used to parody Reeves on the tv show Mad TV.

Quotes
Andy Wachowski: [the Wachowskis appear as a blue and pink sprite] Hi, I'm Andy Wachowski.
Larry Wachowski: And I'm Larry Wachowski.
Andy Wachowski: Or rather, these are the digital projections of our mental selves.
Larry Wachowski: First of all, congrats on reaching the final stage of this game. You kick ass.
Andy Wachowski: Yes, we salute your excellence in the gaming field.
Larry Wachowski: Now, the real reason we are here is to discuss the big problem we faced in turning these three movies into a video game. You see, at this point in the story, Neo stands on the verge of satori, ready to resolve the paradox of choice and choicelessness, of free will versus fate, but that can only be achieved through an act of surrender, which occurs after he has abandoned the perspectival nature of truth, accepting the totality of present consciousness which ultimately allows an evolutionary transition, transcending the Cartesian dilemma through the emergence of delimited spirit, which then provides the world with the choice of a third path, the path of Neo, the path of peace.
Andy Wachowski: You promised you wouldn't do that.
Larry Wachowski: Shit. Sorry.
Andy Wachowski: I think what my brother was trying to say is, at this point, it's martyr time. Well, maybe that works in a movie, but in a video game, the Jesus thing, is well...
Larry Wachowski: Lame.
Andy Wachowski: Really lame. If you're like us, then right now, you are ready for fifteen minutes of sweaty-palmed, button-pushing, action to kick the crap out of some big, bad-assed, boss!
Larry Wachowski: So we suggested to Shiny that we change the ending.
Andy Wachowski: We thought it be cool after Smith rose up, screaming, "It's my world," the other Smiths jumped onto him, merging into one massive, monster, Mega-Smith.
Larry Wachowski: So, if you're ready, it's time for a little Hulk versus Galactus action.
Andy Wachowski: Good luck.
Larry Wachowski: You'll need it!
Andy Wachowski: And enjoy enlightenment!
