This interactive counterpart to The Matrix Reloaded can be fun at times, but the gameplay is handicapped. The controls are not very manageable, the camera angles are often obstructive, and the auto aim is too inaccurate. Half of your bullets totally miss- understandable against agents, but sometimes you can't even hit regular cops worth a darn either. Hand to hand combat is fun, but even that can be tricky. The collision detection is awkward, for example the mid air roundhouse kick can hit anything within three miles of you, yet the grab and slam move often misses, with your character looking pretty stupid grasping thin air and getting shot in the face.
The focus makes things more interesting though.
This game could have been much better. Seems to be a cash-in on the movie, but at least it gives more story background. As it is, it's a marginal product. I give it a C minus.
