Surprised nobody has posted on it yet... if you have purchased it... is it any good? Fun? Worth my time and money? Here is the link to the site:

I read a lot of reviews and I gather that it's actually a good game, but the guy at EB said he hated it. He said controlling Neo "Is like driving a Mack Truck". I still want to play it >.<

What exactly does that mean anyways?

I'm pretty suspicious about how little publicity the game has recieved, but I'm still hoping... :p

Slow and cumbersome?

I installed in on my computer, played it for 15 minutes. Erased the game. Was happy I had not bought it.

Yes, controlling neo is like driving a mac truck. Heavy, slow, and not responsive. The controls are aweful (supposedly worste in the PC version) and its plagued with wierd bugs.

Like the section where you play as Neo and you sneak through the office building and outside. MANY times i just stood out from the ledge over emptiness and remained standing. Now thats not acceptable AT all for a game that is released in 2005. Matter of fact, its graphics are also AWEFUL and go back to pre-Max Payne 1 era. Animations are clunky and pathetic.

I normally am not a picky person. Especially not when it comes to fighting games but this is... just... aweful. I don't even understand why that even got such high scores on reviews.

When playing Max Payne I felt it was kinda slow and unresponsive say compared to jedi knight, but it was still a fun game dunno. Maybe its just grow on you and you have to get used to the feel before it gets fun.

I'd play it just to see the new ending. Sounds awesome.

Awful.

Aweful sounds like someone full of awe.

How did you try it with out buying it?

Says the guy who took HL2 back to the store because it had no atmosphere :p

(just kiddin Jepman, you're still awesome sauce)

He probably downloaded a demo. (assuming there is one )

had a chance to play some of it this afternoon.

the game starts off kinda slow, for sure, but it's got some cool ideas.

the first mission puts you as anderson trying to escape the agents who've just come to arrest you and you must evade them by following morpheus instructions over the cell.

once you get to the scaffolding, you can either accept capture like neo did in the movie, or you can continue up the scafolding to the roof and down to the ground floor where you meet with trinity and continue from there.

the textures were a little muddy sometiems, but I played the PS2 version, I don't know how the other two versions were, the characters seemed well enough to reselmble their real life counterparts, unless you got REALLY upclose to them to see the imperfections (really, the models for TMU look 100 times better and realistic)

still, you follow the path of neo and go from the office complex to a really neat 1 hour training session that teaches you basicly all the controls, and neo really does feel kinda hard to control at times... until you become the one.

When neo accepts his fate and becomes the one and unlocks his true potential, he actually becomes more smooth to control and easier to play with IMO, his moves just seem to become more badass.

and taking on three guys as once while an agent is chasing you is fun as hell, grabbing a pole and running up one guy kicking him in the face sending him flying, using the force of the jump to kick another guys face into the ground and jumping off him to give the last guy a punch to the face is cool, but topping it all off by going into bullet time and dodging the agenst bullets before sending him flying into the nearby wall is cool.

over 600 martial arts moves you can unlock and use and tons of combos, each new move is unlocked in an RPG kind of choose your upgrade style.

the game lets you follow the path of neo for sure, but it also gives you more thats not in the movie.

the training is kinda cool, the combat is neat when you unlock alot of moves and have the high focus meter and some of the puzzles need you to think to solve.

one of the puzzels puts you in a train car that never ends, you never get close to the end of the car to the phone, but if you focus, you can make it... simple, but it was frustrating to figure out for 10 min why you could never make it to the end.

at the start, the agents are actually a fearful foe, you can not hit them (unless your lucky) unless your in focus mode and they are powerful... the smith battle you have to throw him infront of a train (first movie) to defeat him cause once you take hios health down to a certain level, it regenerates.

it's a cool game, MUUUCH better then Shineys first attempt at a matrix game and alot less buggy (only encountered a few bugs, most involve the camera, not including the "matrix" bugs, one level revolves around a section of the matrix thats corrupt and buggy)

it's a rental if your not sure about it... but If my PS2 was working, I'd buy it. (I work at an EB games and I played a fair bit of the game after work one day.)

sounds good, ill probably rent it over thanksgiving break

*blushes*

Is it worth getting 1 week after purchasing WoW?

No. Stick to WoW. Or... mmm YARRRRRR MATEY!

Sex isn't worth getting a week after getting WoW. :p

if the game's as crappy as the website I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

The graphics are terrible, with the models being all blocky and awful, and hte levels are dull and boxy. The textures aren't very good either.

However, the martial arts combat is VERY fun. All the moves one can do are amazing. It's so fun to use a bo staff, and that one scene where you take on all the people with the black suits and axes in the training mission is taken directly from the Jackie Chan movie 'The legend of the Drunken Master', even the building you're fighting in is just like it. Not like that's a bad thing, that was a great movie and this part is a lot of fun.

However, gunplay is terrible. The targeting is awful, my god I got so pissed at it when it wouldn't lose the lock on a target that was ALREADY DEAD, and then it would target the fire extinguisher on the wall behind the guy I was TRYING to aim at.

If they just kept it as a martial arts game and improved the graphics by a lot, then it would be amazing.

lol, "Kill that damn fire extinguisher!"
