Product Description
-------------------
THE MATRIX: PATH OF NEO will follow the story of the blockbuster
motion picture trilogy THE MATRIX, THE MATRIX RELOADED and THE
MATRIX REVOLUTIONS and for the first time allow gamers to play as
Neo and become "the One". Gamers will play as Neo, but from the
moment the game begins, how the situations play out, how they
handle them, how they deal with the events, where they go, how
people react to them -- it's all up to the gamer. They may win
where Neo failed or find another way to solve the problem -- the
path is now theirs to follow. As Neo, the choices the player
makes to resolve each scenario and the resulting consequences may
have a different result than the original films. Alternative
scenarios filled with new characters, content and storylines have
all been written and planned by the Wachowski Brothers to expand
the Matrix universe and overall gaming experience. Gamers will
assume the role of Neo from when, as Thomas Anderson, he gets the
cell phone in the package from Morpheus, to the flying street
battle in the rain against Agent Smith.
