The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005 Video Game)
Pretty good game to check out
21 December 2005
Warning: Spoilers
It is as good as the commercials imply the next "big thing to hit console system is not an ape". LOL

This game is pretty awesome, just like "Enter the Matrix" it never gets too boring and thus live up to expectations for the most part. OK there are some drawbacks but really the graphics, controls and cool Matrix moves you can pull out along with playing Neo for the first time are all bonuses!!!!

That was the major complaint two years from Matrix fans, now Neo is the main character.

Let's see how the games builds up shall we folks:

Graphics:

The graphics were quite excellent if I must say so, I really don't know what geeks complain about saying it sucks. The characters look just like they did in the Matrix including Neo. The movie looks spectacular in full color. On a big screen TV , the graphics rule. Lots of detail everywhere showing the Matrix Very nice.

Sound

Yep great here as well, the actors from the movie do provide some of their voices, the game itself uses clips and audio for the movie so you really feel like you're in the movie!!!!! How cool is that. That has to be very cool.

Controls

The controls OK we're perhaps the weakest part to some gamers, but I thought they were good. You have a whole can of butt-kicking matrix combos to do here. The most powerful ones will keep you alive especially when you meet up with the Agent Smith and others.

Extras

OK some OK extras following the game including a Making of extra.

Challenge

The challenge is pretty cool. It is sub-par but only because I consider myself a veteran gamer with decades of experience here. Most vets will pass the game within a week or two. However, that doesn't take away too much from the pleasure here. The game is pretty challenging when it needs to be. The battles with the Agents have to be the highlight. There are some spectacular battles that make this game buying or rent.

I would recommend this game to any fan of the movie, or Matrix universe. You will not be disappointed and it would make a great Christmas gift.
