I'm sure this game is very fun. I have not played it however and won't. I watched the path of Neo in the films and don't need to do it again interactively. I have no interest in being Neo. I sold my console and games when MXO came out. This is the only game I play. I also can't see how anyone would think this was some sort of expansion to the story. The Path of Neo. We all took that ride in the films so I think it's unrealistic to think this game has anything really new to offer any of us. I've had similar conversations about the films with people who like the simple story of bad versus good, good wins everyone goes to bed satisfied. No thinking involved. After reading all the posts in here on The Path of Neo it sounds like this game was designed for that purpose alone. I kind of figured this out the minute I heard the name of the game before it came out.
Games based on movies often let you play the main character of the story so you can be the hero and save the day or world or whatever. It's been done to death. A copy of the movie where the only difference is interactivity. Sounds to me like the Wachowski's were giving the people who want the simple, easy to follow story what they so desired and made fun of that concept at the same time. Not the people who like the concept, just the concept itself. My Mother doesn't understand the Matrix films and some of the people I work with don't either. I'm sure anyone who didn't like it couldn't follow it easy enough and therefore had little interest in it. The same goes for MXO. Since it is not a copy of any of the films but a continuation of all of them. I find being able to put myself into the story and effect it with my own choices, my own path, much more appealing. I'm staying right here folks, waiting ever patiently for answers to questions I ahve not been able to figure out for myself!
