Action game based on the Matrix trilogy with playable Neo in iconic film scenes. Bullet-time and martial arts are well represented. Film faithfulness is decent but gameplay lacks depth. Honest fan service for admirers of the Wachowski franchise.

Description
A Shiny Entertainment and Atari action game released in 2005 (Japan, Asia, US, Australia, Europe), supervised by the Wachowskis. Players revisit the Matrix trilogy as Neo, with bullet-time kung-fu combat, bullet dodging and open levels. A mixed reception, but a curiosity written by the original creators.

Matrix, The - Path of Neo (PS2) price, value & rarity
The Asian run of The Matrix - Path of Neo, a Wachowski action game reliving the trilogy's key scenes by casting the player as Neo. More polished than the previous Matrix game, it nonetheless saw a measured Asian distribution next to Western markets. Desirability rests on the game's close tie to the Wachowskis' work and on the lighter spread of this regional pressing.
