    A turbulent ride between decent action, half-baked graphics and camera, and occasionally clunky, but undeniably authentic presentation.

    The Matrix: Path of Neo does have its moments - but these are limited by the restraints of the medium. In the trilogy, Neo could do almost anything, which included manipulation of time itself. Transferring these abilities in-game has been problematic, and the engine simply can't cope with all of Neo's talents.

    A real slap across the face to Matrix fans. Do yourselves a favour and take the blue pill.

    The Wachowsky brothers wanted the ending not to be lame, and they did it... it was lamer than they could've expected, that final boss was too easy and it was the most boring final fight EVER.

    I have my playstation 2 just to play this video game... Had I known it was so boring and repetitive, I would've modded my console and downloaded it.    … Full Review »

    The game is insanely impressive for the PS2, but the framerate is absolutely abysmal. There are also some very questionable design choices.

Unlike Enter the Matrix, this is a straightforward action game. It allows players to relive through the movie's iconic action scenes as Neo himself. But there are also original levels and a new ending to The Matrix Revolutions. Graphically, it isn't very impressive. Still, fans of Devil May Cry or God of War should have fun with it. I would rate it with 7.7 out of 10.… Full Review »
