INTRO and OVERVIEW:
Since 1999 I have loved The Matrix Trilogy, and since 1999 I have anticipated the arrival of a good Matrix video game. "Enter the Matrix" released in 2003 was a bit lame, you couldn't play as "THE ONE", only as Ghost or Niobi. In this great new game you relive the Path Of Neo, (hence the name), from taking the red pill, to Defeating Agent Smith and saving Zion.
GRAPHICS and HARDWARE:
The graphics are amazingly realilistic, no seriously now, I know what I am talking about, I have been an great gamer for 6 years, and I got to say this is one of the best. This game features advanced AI (Oh no the machines are taking over again!) to place the player in the appropriate skill level by testing you in training programs right after you take the red pill. That is why I love this game so much, the creators thought of everything, ANYONE ON ANY SKILL LEVEL CAN BEAT IT. It's not like other games that are rediculously hard to beat (*cough* JAK II).
***MY ADVICE: When you play "The Matrix: Path Of Neo" for the first time, place the game dfficulty on easy (called Disciple in game), even if you think it would be too easy for your gaming level or the game places you on a higher skill level, choose the lowest level first. The controls are somewhat tricky. I can say this from experience.***
GAMEPLAY:
Throught the game you can use a varity of weaponary, melee, such as a sword, and ranged, such as machine gun. all weapons in the game can be used (yes even the ones hanging on the walls in the Merovingien's chateau!), and if you can't find one, you can even improvise using misc. items, or even another opponent!
As you progress through the game, Neo learns new abilities. When this happens his health bar and focus meter also increase. Sometimes Neo gains a master ability or atman principle. Look through all of the availiable master abilities before making your choice (It doesn't really matter which one you choose, just pick the one you like the best or the one you think you can use the most.). As for atman principles, don't waste your points on them unless they are the only things left to aquire. I have beaten the easy and normal levels without any of them.
The combos are amazing. Ever seen the movies? You can use the exact same combos you see our hero Neo using against countless enemies in the trilogy.
Pick up briefcases in different levels to allow Neo to learn new combos, and unlock bonus material.
In combat, the camera angle sometimes shifts to show the gamer a better view of what they are doing, it's really a lot like the films.
The opponents you face the most are, you guessed it, agents. You also fight against police officers, SWAT teams, helicopters, oh yeah, and giant man-sized kung-fu fightn' ants. Yeah, I know what your thinking...
NEW ENDING:
Yes, Trinity and Neo still die, but the game also features a whole new ending for "THE ONE" that was written and directed by the Wachoski brothers, the creators of the Matrix films. I won't say exactly what it is on here, it is something you should really see for yourself. I will simply say it RuLz!!!
I have played literally hundreds of video games before , but I gotta say this one is one of my favorites!!!
Do NOT buy this game

Worst video game purchase I've made in five years. Endless cut scenes, repetitive and unsatisfying gameplay, pointless "special abilities" and other useless crap, jerky graphics, stupidly complex controls and a completely non-functioning pov camera angle. The Wachowski Bros worked on this? Bullsnot. They loaned their name and cashed a check. Avoid this ripoff like the plague unless you are a twelve year old fanboy with no life.
The Game is Awsome

Do you own all of the matrix movies along with the Animatrix? Then this is a game for you the first matrix game was wonderfull and if you enjoyed that then you will love the path of Neo this game offers it all wonderfull plot story line and Clips from the movie that were not in the film and some that were just like the first game did. A must have for the Matrix Fan and Action gamer, Also Great Ending assuming you can get to the final stage of this game. I deffinantly Recommend this game.
I know Kung Fu.

Excellent game. The action is non-stop, and the story is well adapted from the movies. I did feel that some of the missions from outside of the movies were a tad weird and possibly the result of too much acid, but it was still really fun. The hardcore Matrix fans will love it up until the final 1/3rd of the game. After that, it goes way out there and never comes back.
