Shiny Entertainment animation director Gabriel Roundtree told SCI FI Wire that the company's upcoming The Matrix: Path of Neo video game remains faithful to the Matrix films that spawned it, only more so. The game, written by Matrix filmmakers Larry and Andy Wachowski, hits stores Nov. 8 for the PC, Xbox and 2Xbox platforms, from Atari and Shiny.
"The game really is the world of the movies," Roundtree said in an interview. "But it is even more of a video game. Everything is bigger, while still in the vein of the films. In the movies, when Neo dives and shoots, he's only a few feet off the ground. In this game he bounces off a pillar, off a wall, off a ceiling and flies 20 feet over the head of his enemies, shooting down on them."
The storyline of The Matrix: Path of Neo parallels the storyline of the three movies, with the player evolving from a lowly game developer, becoming Neo and fulfilling his destiny as The One. As scripted by the Wachowski brothers, Path of Neo allows for alternative characters, storylines and scenarios. In the game, Neo may succeed in a task he failed to perform in the movies or may find different ways to solve problems. Roundtree also promised "a special secret ending that is different from the films."
"What expands in this game is that you are Neo," Roundtree said. "We've expanded sections that are only alluded to in the films and, in the game, you get to experience a lot of things that were only hinted at in the films." Source:scifi.com[/size
Well this is encouraging....I look forward to seeing it. The others werent too bad, but the review on this one looks promising...
