Whatever you might think of the last two Matrix films, The Animatrix, Enter the Matrix, or anything else with the word Matrix in it from the last couple of years, it doesn't make The Matrix: Path of Neo any less good. Path of Neo is the second Matrix game from developer Shiny, and after the disappointing Enter the Matrix, you might be wondering why you should even bother this time around. You should, simply because Path of Neo isn't too much like its predecessor. It clearly uses some similar stylistic touches, but it's mechanically a much better game--a game that's made even better by you playing as Neo, "the One," from the beginning of his adventures right down to the conclusion of the last film...sort of. Path of Neo also takes liberties with the story in order to get it into game shape, and serious Matrix fans might be put off by how the storyline is treated so whimsically at times. You also might find yourself frustrated by how flagrantly chaotic the action can be, and we're not necessarily talking about the measure of controlled chaos the game purposely creates, either. Still, Path of Neo gets more things right than it gets wrong, and there's an entertaining brawler to be found underneath its blemishes.

If you're a fan of the Matrix series, or even just someone who's seen the movies, you probably don't need us to reiterate the entire plot for you since the title of the game pretty much says it all. If you haven't seen the films, you probably should before you check out this game, as the narrative isn't coherent enough for those who are unfamiliar with the source material. Big chunks of storyline are told through cutscenes ripped right from the film. But they're edited in a decidedly music video-style fashion, jumping and skipping around quickly and providing only the bare essentials that you need to get by. The in-game sections aren't really all that similar to the films, either. You'll find yourself in plenty of familiar situations, like the massive battle in the park against hundreds of Agent Smiths from The Matrix: Reloaded, and the wicked martial arts training battle between Neo and Morpheus from the first film. But many of these sequences have been extended, and they branch off in wildly different directions from those of the films. Not to mention that the third film is almost entirely glossed over, as the game skips almost straight to the final battle (though perhaps that's not such a bad thing). So this isn't just a step-by-step retelling of the Matrix saga, in case you were wondering. Rather, this is a full-fledged, 10-to-12-hour adventure that strictly follows Neo's trials and tribulations, both borrowed and original.
