I played Enter The Matrix and loved it, but I admit that's mainly because it was the Matrix. I did think that Max Payne implemented the bullet-time effect better years before, and the gameplay was a bit repetitive, and the driving sequences were just awful, and I wanted to be Neo, not Jada Pinkett-Smith. But the ability to jump up, dodge bullets, run up a wall, and execute a punch-kick that sends your enemies flying overshadowed all the flaws for me.
Yet I'm incredibly excited to find out we get a do-over. As soon as November, a new game will hit the shelves, Matrix: Path of Neo. It's not going to try to change the formula. You will be Neo, and will re-create scenes from the movies. It'll even have a different ending...which is good. I mean, do I really want to play Neo dying and being carried away? The previews sound awesome. I really hope this one lives up to the hype.

I was underwhelmed by the first Matrix game, but this one does sound incredible. I read they expanded a whole bunch of scenes. Like the Neo vs. Morpheus fight that lasts over a half-hour and an extended fight scene in the Merovingian(sp?) lair. The Wachowskis redited some scenes from the movie for the game and like you said, a whole different ending. Sounds fantastic.
Thanks for the preview by the way. Jammin'
