Summary
A game that is built to be nothing but high-action fun!
The Good
This game is very well made, starting off with the game concept. The fact that you can do the cool moves that you see in the Matrix trilogy's combined with the sheer simplicity of the interface makes this game extremely versitile and enjoyable on many levels. This game is enjoyable to the rookie gamer as well as an expert. Although I doubt a rookie would get past the middle of the game without much frustration. The graphics are really good, one of the best graphics I've seen in games recently. On my computer the graphics don't start to get glichy unless I run the game for over two hours. Restarting the game fixes the problem though. There's also a great integration between powerfull weapons and your awesome kung-fu master character. You can take the gun from a guy's hands bash him in the head with it then flip it in the air and shoot him in the face. The fluid motion of the characters in this game while fighting is really well done, the best to date I believe. What's more, you can also drive and pilot a hovercraft throughout different levels. The game can be played as either "Ghost" or "Niobi" and the plot follows the trilogy's storyline from the beginning to end, but through the eyes of these characters as opposed to the movie's main characters.
The Bad
The music could have been a bit better but its still really good nonetheless. Also the story is in depth enough. Since they use real footage with actors from the movie, they tend to be shorter than you would expect if it were generated. So the story has a hole here and there but that doesn't take away from the fun of the game. Seeing Jada Pinket Smith actually acting for the game is a really cool bonus.
The Bottom Line
This game is awesome! The AI is actually difficult to kill, and there is a number of ways of killing people in differente situations so its really hard to get bored. Focus mode is awesome too an example of it would be Max Payne but better I believe.
