Not a big fan of the Matrix, or even a fan for that matter. I basically see it as Hollywood ripping off famous anime. There's one way that influence can lead to a totally new fresh creation, and then there's being influenced by something/s and blatantly ripping them off.
There's not alot of origional games out there- there's probably a handful, 14 or 15 that are in themselves origional and worth playing- then there's the other 3,000 PS2 games out there, that basically have identical gameplay to those 15 or so origional games, just with different graphics. I'd say Enter The Matrix was one of those games you should play if you've bought a PS2 or whatever. Enter the Matrix was the first game to utilise the bullet time technqiue. There was a Japanese game released in 2004, called '10,000' bullets, that used a slow-time technique identical to bullet time.
Anyways, Path Of Neo looks far better than Enter The Matrix- the graphics are very realistic, and the game remains faithful to the Matrix trilodgy. There's alot of new levels and stories written into the game by the Wachowski Brothers, as well as being able to engage in every major fight scene from the 3 Matrix movies. My fave scenario is the battle with the agents and the helicopter on the rooftop. Instead of the game ending after Smith is destroyed, you have to fight a huge King Kong sized Smith made out of scrap metal and concrete that's pretty lame, and then the credits roll on.
My rating: 7.9/10
