The Matrix: The Path Of Neo

So far I'm having fun. I'm glad I picked it up. The training levels are so sweet. I especially loved how it went black and white like an old samurai movie during the winter session. I replayed that one like three times just because it was so sweet.

Drew, how would you compare this combat system to that of Enter the Matrix? I think this one's superior.

 

The thing with Jack Thompson in this game is FREAKING HILARIOUS

I sooooo hope that gets online that Clip

 

DOes this game have multiplayer?

 

I was stuck on that briefly, too. When you get to the other side of the room (warehouse? Industrial area?) from where you started, Roland gets pinned down on the leftside, while a never-ending stream of soldiers keeps coming out of a door on the right side. What you have to do is shoot the supports on the floor above that door and make it fall down.

The tough part is knowing that you can't target the two supports UNLESS you've jumped up into the air. (I would recommend going as high as you can go, and hold down R2 to autotarget. Once you get high enough, it should target one of the supports). Switching to Code vision (up on the D-pad) will also help to give you a hint as to what you're supposed to be shooting at, but i think you still have to jump to be able to target it. Once you're in the air and have it targeted, let loose with your guns.

It took me about 3 jumps, i think. Don't worry, the level gets EVEN BETTER after that, when you have the Sniper with the grenade launcher

I think you had more of a sense of DIRECT control over the combat in Enter the Matrix, but i have to agree, i think the combat system here is superior simply based on the amount of things that you can do.

And when you can properly figure out how to string combos together, WOW. You really do feel like Neo

No, i don't think so. I haven't found a way yet, anyways. (I have the PS2 version).

Update: I think i've pretty much made it to the end of the Merovingian section of "Reloaded". I'm at the part where you have to pick which Exile is the RIGHT exile, and then take on that telekinetic chick.

I LOVED the dual-staircase fight, but this thing is reaching the point of being a bit TOOO long. What the heck was up with those ANTS? That was just... strange.


And the battle with Seraph was... interesting. I didn't have much time to pay attention to the stuff the geeky guy was saying in the movie theatre, but...Twas strange.

Still a very enjoyable game, but i can see how some people have come away with that "what the heck?" sort of feeling.

 

Spoiler, please?

Also, could someone spoil the "new" ending, as well? In detail, if possible?

 

To good to COMPLETELY ruin it but I'll tell you how it starts

It is during the Level where you Rescue the Key Maker & they at the end of each level go through different doors & one Level they end up at a Game Duplicate of one of those US Meeting Congress Room Thingys & we see Jack Thompson giving his "Violence in Video Games is Bad" yada etc & then Morpheus & Neo walk in on the meeting & they just look at Each Other then Sh!t loads of Smiths walk into the room

To see what happens get the game

 

I believe i am going to get it right this moment

Thanks for deciding for me, everyone who has said good things about it

 

I'm stuck on the level where you fight the Agent while you're trying to save Morpheus...it's the one where you first learn bullet dodge.

This level is the hardest I've come upon so far. I keep dying

 

..yeah, it is a pain when you still can't just go and fight the agents..

Not sure what exactly you're stuck on, but whenever an agent shows up, just bullet dodge for as long as you can.. Neo will call for Trinity's help, and she'll actually be the one to kill the agents.

Sometimes it's easier to pull off then others.

Other then that, remember that the FOCUS button is your best friend.

 

Does the game feature any original Matrix footage, other than the ending?

 

Yeah it does feature a lot of footage from the movies.

Also, i just got it, and i have to say taht the combat and everything really is pretty neat and in depth. And Valyn, one fun thing to do on that level if you dont want to just dodge the bullets all the time, is throw the agent off the building go and run near one of the ledges and then hit him till he gets dizzy, then press B (Xbox version) and press the analog stick towards the edge and neo will throw him off. Quite a simple way of defeating them, really. and very fun too

 

Are the graphics better than the original? Is it all walking and fighting or are there annoying driving levels?

 

Its all walking & fighting & high jumping no driving levels

 

Thanks Drew_Atreides I forget to say that when i read it.

 

No problemo.

Update: I was away for the weekend, and haven't had any time to sit down and get any further with the game

We'll see what happens tonite (see, i also FINALLY got my copy of GTA: Vice City back. A game that i had never finished. Geeze looking at my save files, it's been 3 years since i last played. Crazy. Anyways, that's eating into my Neo time )
