@Fel: You wanted to know what the Matrix Path Of Neo was like huh? Well here be a review I wrote for GameSpot a few weeks ago... You wont find my usual user name there tho as it was taken so I'll just copy and paste what I wrote
The Matrix Path Of Neo:
"You are the one"..... really? nope!
All the write ups about this game made it sound like the Matrix game most of us had been waiting for including myself which was to play as “The One” also known as NEO. Now don’t get me wrong you do get to play as someone that looks like Neo but it sure didn't felt like it... when I was playing it. It’s a shame because the combat system for this game works surprisingly well after you have gained most of Neo’s abilities.
There were to big issues I had with The Matrix Path Of Neo (PON). One was the gun play as the targeting system was one of the worst I have ever used along with the button configuration for bringing up the weapon and shooting at the same time. They should have left this alone from Enter The Matrix and as a result I found my self having to ditch the weapons in The Matrix: PON and opt for the cool hand to hand combat! The Second let down for me was the jumping used in this game and in my opinion it just seemed broke as at times it just looked stupid.
The graphics for The Matrix Path Of Neo are not outstandingly great but graphics aren’t everything. I just found this game really boring after a while and after having played Enter The Matrix which I enjoyed so much I was just expecting so much more from this game. Needless to say I have traded both Matrix titles after completion as I didn’t think there was much replay value.
Conclusion: If you want a Matrix game for you Xbox or PS2 get Enter The Matrix if you feel you have to but if you want a bullet time shoot dodging game then go for the Max Payne titles as they offer so much more.
^ So yea there ya have my thoughts on the game...
