The gun play is fine albeit pretty simple but does the job in a game where using Melee weapons or your own fists is where you will have the most fun. The further you progress, the more moves you unlock and the more awesome you will be become. You can pull off all the moves you see from the movies and more with bullet time never becoming dull during the game. As you would expect from the previous game which has a very good fighting system this game is no different. It's a quick and easy approach to get to the action quicker which is good but if you aren't entirely familiar with the trilogy it can be rather confusing.
#THE MATRIX PATH OF NEO REVIEW MOVIE#
The story is told by showing footage from the movies then thrusting the player immediately into whatever situation the characters from the movie are in. Again, this seemed more in place with the previous game and will distract many players from what they got the game for.

Overall the game is paced well but has some slumps such as during the ' Reloaded' portion we have to save random people from agents as we convert them to our side. Enter The Matrix did that fantastically yet people complained. It does quite a nice job of filling some of the gaps the movies leave but I find this odd as the whole point of this game is to recreate scenes we know, not to show what we didn't see. It contains all of the scenes you would want them to recreate such as the subway fight scene from the first movie and Neo vs unlimited Agent Smiths after visiting The Oracle in The Matrix Reloaded. The first two movies adapted in this game are very well done (I'll take about the third movie later on). So when the game that everyone wanted the first time around came out, was it worth the wait and everything the fans wanted? Let's see. The outcry was so loud that Shiny Entertainment decided to make a game where you play entirely as Neo and recreate all your favourite scenes from the movies. Gaming journalists and players alike criticised Enter The Matrix for not having the main characters of the film and wanted to just play the scenes they saw in the movies, not learn something new about the Matrix universe.

This was a very nice fresh approach to the usual video game adaption of movies and I think the way this genre should have continued in the future.

The story was an original one written by the Wachowski brothers and even contained exclusive live action cutscenes filmed during the production of the movies. Shiny Entertainment released Enter The Matrix as a companion to the last two Matrix movies which told the story of Niobe and Ghost and what they were doing when the movies take place.

The game's development is a very interesting story if you haven't heard it and quite surprising as well. Let's first start with this game's unusual production. While some felt that Enter The Matrix was rushed to be out when the movies were released did the extra development time for this game pay off? Do we finally get the definitive Matrix experience on gaming devices that can stand alongside the movies with pride. The second Matrix game to hit consoles following the mixed reviewed Enter the Matrix comes Path of Neo, which follows a different path to its predecessor by this time letting the player control the one himself through all the movies in the trilogy and more.
