![]() ![]() What kills the fun of the game is the levels and scenarios you’re dropped in. Plus, the game had a pretty decent cover system idea going for it for the time, since this was before this idea became normalized. Not fantastic or particularly deep, but fine. And melee combat actually feels quite fine. Health regenerates when outside of danger, which is also a nice touch that was yet to become the norm for games like this. ![]() It does feel cool and similar to the movies how you go through whatever ranged weapons you pick up, which don’t typically last too long, to then seamlessly kung fu your problems away and get more guns, all while turning the “Focus” on and off, thus enabling and disabling the bullet time, which here makes characters more powerful. MATRIX PATH OF NEO MODGranted, I’d argue that the transitioning between melee and shooting in Enter the Matrix is more fluid and fun than what any fan made mod could do, but at the same time, I can’t say that Enter the Matrix does what it does especially well either. MATRIX PATH OF NEO MODSWhich, however, have been already explored in the fan mods for Max Payne before. But what is the game like? It’s a third person shooter brawler with some rather nifty ideas. And also makes completing the game with both characters especially frustrating. Sadly, only some, as the vast majority of the levels plays exactly the same, which somewhat defeats the purpose of having this grand “what they were doing when Neo was doing that other thing” idea. Both Niobe and Ghost, that have relatively minor appearance in the movies (especially Ghost), are playable and there are some differences depending on the character selected. And it also features more scenes that were shot alongside the movies, but focusing on the main cast of the game – the crew of the Logos ship. Thus, it fills in the gaps that explain some of the events from the movies (that didn’t really need an explanation, but these don’t feel forced nonetheless). Though, not by much.Įnter the Matrix was released as an integral part of The Matrix franchise, alongside The Matrix Reloaded and The Animatrix. Intrigued if I will like them more than I did back when they just came out. Still, both action titles in the franchise – Enter the Matrix and The Matrix: Path of Neo, – were games I was considering replaying for a while now. ![]() Though, perhaps, the most successful and arguably fun of them was The Matrix Online, that I won’t be talking about here. The games based around The Matrix were ambitious and quite curious. Some are very budget minded and simple, some are ambitious. Some licensed tie-in games are loved, some are forgotten.
