@@PurposelessRabbitholes If I had to guess, it's because Enter the Matrix came out around the time Reloaded did and was very much a side-story for that movie, to the point that none of what Ghost and Niobe are up to makes any sense unless you played the game.

I cannot tell you how many hours I spent replaying this game. Because when you master the combat, nothing beats this adrenaline rush masterpiece. God I miss the days where I just had the free time to play it all fucking day.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this game before. The final boss is literally a giant agent smith made out of a skyscrapers for a bunch of normal sized smiths this game deserves the noble peace prize just for existing!
@BrandenTried the Xbox version had a completely different levels and a different ending. Tbh this game is A LOT of fun and it goes in depth in a sense on how Neo becomes Neo.
Excellent commentary on the changes in the industry and things like manuals. Lot of new gen gamers who have no idea about what manuals used to represent - literally a technical breakdown of what the game was about and how to play it.
@@PolarPhantom except nobody is throwing them away. Not only that, its just laminated paper that cant really dont anything to anything and will likely end up pulped into a hornets nest. Games are also 60 bucks now, so im sure they could afford a 70 cent manual thrown into the case considering theres just ads for other games in there now.
I remember whenever I got a new game when I was a kid and I couldn't play it immediately so I'd read the game manual it came with for a while, absorbing the info over and over until I had to do something or get to play the game. I miss manuals but I know that they're not really the greenest thing in the world

This was a game I played so much when I was younger, besides just being a Matrix fan my fave thing about Path of Neo was the insane amount of little secrets in combat. One basic example which the game never tells you is that you could actually counter enemy throws too by pressing dodge with the right timing, compared to normal inputs they were actually hard to pull off as you needed to time it with the enemies' animation of hits, mashing wouldn't work. it was hilarious with Agent Smith's super punch as Neo would just tank it, staying in place and not lose any HP instead of being sent flying. Letting you just immediately start attacking back. I'd end up just letting the enemies grab me and see what stylish or wacky counter Neo would do. During the final encounter with Smith too, you could also do everything Smith did depending on how well or bad you were doing. Even the cutscenes/loading screens you could interact with! An example is after the first flying section, if Smith did enough damage he'd send you flying into the building and then proceed to charge at you. If you pressed nothing, Neo would be smacked down. If you pressed Dodge, He'd jump over Smith like in the movie, if you pressed Attack you'd go to punch Smith causing a clash that sends them both flying. Alternatively, if you hit him into the building instead if you pressed nothing, Smith would just wait as you slowly glided inside. if you pressed attack you'd charge like Smith did, then Smith would actually be able to do one of the following defences like you did in earlier example above. He'd usually do Punch counter though. It goes further where as you fought normally in that warehouse and damaged the floor, if you or Smith did a powerful ground pound move where it was damaged you'd break the floor, causing another mini cutscene of you or him falling through with the other dodging out the way, where you'd proceed to pick up a girder each now both having a polearm fight. This kinda thing goes through the entire segment of them fighting, you could recreate the movie more or less, or do an alternate timeline where Neo gets utterly crushed or Smith is just overwhelmed despite the oracle boost. Everything Smith could do to you, you could do to him and some options didn't become clear unless you let Smith trigger them who would actually be trying too mid-combat. It was fun figuring them out, if ever curious I do recommend playing that final battle through a few times and let Smith do his thing, you'd be surprised what can be done. I'm still convinced to this day Path of Neo has several more secret skills/abilities I was never able to figure out.
I didn’t know about that counter, but I guarantee there are other hidden moves. I found one where, while grabbing the enemy, you press forward + B to do a palm strike like the first movie. I also did something once where (at the Bruce Lee training level), I used the weapon you get there to jump really high, and strike from above. I have no idea how though.
you forgot to mention "the one combo" the buttons for this combo are unlockable but if you know them you can do the combo once you have a long enough focus meter and have unlocked your basic combo to max. the one combo is the longest combo in the game and can ultimately smash bosses entire health bar.
@@Myth_or_Mystery76 yes but it's so satisfying to pull off once you get it. for the first half of the game you can do like parts of the combo by mixing things together till you get the full one.
@@PurposelessRabbitholes What's weird is how some cutscenes only trigger if you're in certain areas. I remember I would intentionally let Mr. Smith hit me in the subway fight on to the tracks, just so I could see the damn cutscene haha
Not too far off. How many people from The Matrix team made it to the John Wick movies? Even still, because of the filming of Matrix 4, John Wick 4 can't move forward.
This was legit probably my favorite game when I was like 6 years old. I'm glad someone is recognizing this game for the flawed masterpiece it really is.
I played the shit out of this game as a kid. Flawed as it is, you could do some crazy stuff in it. Plus it has a bonkers ending that's way better than the one in the movies.
Yeah, I liked some of the training levels too. It was pretty cool to fight in the Japanese/chinese setting before the main story. I like the ghost fight level.
I bought this game because all my friends had seen all the movies and I had only seen the first one so I thought it's the best way to get in the trilogy loop. Played through the 1st movie segment and assumed this game was accurate to the next movies too. When I was asking my friends whether the ant scene was in 2 or 3 cause I "couldn't remember" the amount of confusion they had, brought my lies to the surface. Then I watched 2 and 3 and I came to the conclusion that the game was better than the movies!
The biggest thing I remember from this game is "the one" combo that had like literally 25 inputs to use and I tried so hard to get it to work and I never could and was convinced it was impossible
This is by far the best RUclips video game I've seen in recent memory in the last few years at least. I was entertained the full way through and your editing and comedic timing is top notch. Seriously, great work!
I think I have an answer for the tutorial. In the movie when Neo first starts learning how to fight Morphius or Trinity idk, ask the operator "how long has he been in there" the operator says hours. I think this game is showing you what he went through in those hours. Which is a nice attention to detail.
After seeing Megasmith with the glasses I want this game now Edit: RUclips recommended this to me again. And update, what a steal, the local game shop happened to have this game for 20 bucks. *Woah* Worth it
this is honestly one of the funniest videos i’ve seen in a long time. played this game as a kid and was confused as fuck. glad to see it get some recognition.
This was such a big part of my childhood and was hyped af when I saw this video pop up in my feed! you have however mentioned Jaws Unleashed twice now and I will be very very sad if you don't make a video on it lol
Not gonna lie, with licensed games getting remakes nowdays, I feel like this game would make a really good candidate for a remake. There's enough good ideas here that a little polish would make something really fun.
Just that one for now, but it only takes one game to do something like that for a bunch of others to follow behind, and I REALLY want this one to follow behind. lol
I grew up obsessed with this game when it was released. I finished it so many times I lost count. For me it will always be a masterpiece - this was a fun trip down memory lane, thank you.
@@bradycharles9571 No it was to signify that Smith and Neo are matched 1:1. He could send 1 billion Smiths at Neo, and he wont lose. It's why he fights him 1v1 in Revolutions, because Smith is a copied machine version of the One.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse Yeah I was just saying it was a large gap in the display of Neo's skill up until that point. Like you know he is good and then you realize he is THAT good.
I kinda like the "tutorial" stages, could be because they're base on kung-fu and samurai films. But I can see, it can be annoying just being dragging on for Neo just training. They could have made those stages better or optional. Kinda like extra missions, and able to choose to continue the story or do more training, something like a mini hub world, that let you choose to do extra training stages, that gives extra bonus upgrades points. and they could have addin more unique "training stages" blade-runner theme, to horror, etc etc.
Nah I loved it. It *really* drags on yea! But then you come out of it with the scene from the movie showing you only plugged in for 20 seconds and you're like "holy shit"
Yeah, the Chinese restaurant scene is straight out of a John Woo movie, Hard Boiled, to be precise. You can also find the shootout scene on youtube ruclips.net/video/3wYCh5nxyCI/видео.html
@@kaisersoymilk6912 Nice, yeah the guys sitting on a table with a birdcage I wish they did bladerunner and ghost in the shell like theme training too, like a chase or run away training program. and a few stealth like mission like Tenchu or a kitchen fight or dinner fight something like Jet li's The Legend film. or something obscure like Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters.
Also Reloaded mentioned that The Matrix had earlier versions having programs acting as Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts so yeah the game fleshes out that line said by The Oracle. Cool video though
Not to mention in reloaded and Revolution the events that transpired already happened and you're probably playing the different events that transpired in those pass simulation in The Matrix and despite stupidly dumb and cool it was is actually make sense in the reality of The Matrix and I'm one of the very few that understood the movie the first time I watch it and I didn't fall asleep when it come to the sequels. You can certainly tell that the movie sequels and the video game were rush because of the studio interference. They actually created a masterpiece but didn't have enough time nor the budget. They were also very ambitious the technology was not able to catch up with their ideas at the time even the movie itself only make more sense in our day and age.
I think the fact that they were still learning how these games work back then is why I prefer games from that generation. Now every game does the control teaching stuff the exact same
Back in those days, they really experimented with open worlds games. Now, all the modern open worlds games are just different reskins of The Witcher 3.
Being stuck in corrupted matrix code sounds scary and super cool I want to see that not only being stuck in a computer/ videogame for real but it's also super glitchy that's frightening
I would also recommend "Anatomy", a short indie game by kittyhorrorshow that you can get from itch.io for only a few bucks. I don't want to spoil the whole experience, but I will say that it is a haunted house story that uses its nature as a game environment to great effect. (Matt and Pat of the Super Best Friends did a full playthrough of it for one of their Halloween videos, but it's short and cheap enough that you should experience it for yourself first.)
Bro, I love your videos. I've been really depressed these past few weeks but marathoning your videos always makes me smile. I hope you have as much fun making them as I do watching them. Thank you.
Just watched the review after seeing the trailer for the matrix 4 resurrections, I cannot believe we live in a day and age where the matrix franchise is back. I am glad to see someone else absolutely love and enjoy every bit of this attended stupidity of pure awesome that is the path of neo. And personally I take this as the TRUE ending of how matrix 3 ended with the giant fucking agent Smith. Yes the controls where the biggest hurdle of this game, personally I would love to see a remaster or an updated HD remake with modern controls and I would be content.
If they just made a movie about the second act where neo saves the red pills, the movie would've been awesome. Even if they made a movie ABOUT one of the people Neo saved, that shit would've been cool. But no The movie was terrible
18:10 in and I'm loving the way you've edited and worded this video out. Brilliantly captures all that I felt when I ran through the game like twice and possibly more. Kudos, man.
I think the first level where the game decides which difficulty level suits you is a masterpiece . Your difficulty level is based upon how well you adapt to the shit the game throws at you. I remember when I finally unlocked '' The one '' difficulty, enjoyed the hell out of it countless times.
The Wachowskis must've done some drugs doing The Matrix to have come up with some of that insanity, but they clearly went balls to the wall berserk with it for the games.
I actually loved the tutorial levels in this game and replayed them a bunch just cause it felt like I was playing through a bunch of different classic action movies. Even if it wasn’t the main story, it was just more game and I had fun learning all the mechanics and just killing people with the crazy combat.
During my first playthrough I was genuinely annoyed with how long that whole series of levels went on (as I'm sure you could tell), but upon going back and playing them a couple more times to get some extra footage, I found myself enjoying them more
I would never have discovered this game where it not for you...so thank you fore taking the time to get lost down the insane rabbit hole that is this game for us...hilarious!
Yeah, I tried to track that down, but I couldn't get it working on any of my machines. I'm terrible with computers though, so... that plan went south. Then I tried emulating, but it was flickering and freaking out on the PCSX2, wasn't getting a genuine or capture-able experience. A day of work didn't fix that, so in the end I just bit the bullet and recorded all my footage in shit quality off of an original Xbox haha. I bet it would've been a much smoother experience had I played it on PC honestly, but I rationalized it in my head by telling myself that this is the original format I played it in
@@PurposelessRabbitholes Honestly, I remember it being a stuttery mess. To my child brain, 10 frames was considered acceptable. And this was on the same system that could run Xmen 2 wolverines revenge easily enough. So, it was just a thoroughly unstable game on pc, regardless of specs. I just replayed the training levels over and over. Man, those were the days...
This popped up in my recommended today out of nowhere and I'm laughing so hard I must have cracked a rib.

Technically there _is_ a movelist of 6 secret combos in the extras menu, but that’s it. They’re super complicated and you have to find all 6 of them individually across the campaign; other than that there’s no movelist of any of the base attacks, of which there are... _so_ many, jesus christ
@@PurposelessRabbitholes Ah, fair enough - I'll trust your recent experience more than my decade and a half old impressions! PS Really digging your videos, this one in particular brought back a lot of great memories.

This honestly was a refreshingly enjoyable review. Very genuine, very funny, and entertaining as hell. This man took a 15 year old game that no one gave a shit about then nor do they now and somehow made it golden! Great work man, this was incredibly fun to watch. Thanks for your effort
3:24 the pill scene actually happens earlier, right at the start of the game before you get thrown into the lobby. Dunno if it's different in the Xbox version but the other versions have the pill be the first thing you do. The training sections are also out of order, the last one you do is the gun section before the famous Morpheus fight.
I remember reaching the final stage of Path of Neo when I was a teen. My whole family was on the living room minding their own business and they all stopped when the Wachoski's appeared.
I played this game with a friend when it came out of the blue. I remember thinking how this was going to be the MATRIX GAME we all wanted. But damn, it was actually the Matrix game we NEEDED. P.S. I do remember a combo list, because I looked at some combo called 'the one' and it looked impossible to pull off!
Wow, just wow. Other than the fact that this video is awesome (just discovered your channel) I'm so glad you encapsulated what I felt about this game so well while pretty much the critics and everyone else was merrily spitting senseless on it. I loved it and now I'm not ashamed of saying it anymore thanks to you :D

I cannot tell you how many hours I spent replaying this game.
Because when you master the combat, nothing beats this adrenaline rush masterpiece.
God I miss the days where I just had the free time to play it all fucking day.
You essential too?
thank you for your service
Especially fighting in bullet time. What a great game it was
oh yeah. and the camera too. there were moments I'd use the indicator and thumb jusy for the right analog camera
Be careful what you wish for.
Hey that character looks a lot like Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk
This is almost as bad as fortnite
Maybe it's all connected...
They're brothers
Its a prequel to Cyberpunk
I remember the hand to hand combat being amazing and making me feel like I was a real life Neo
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this game before. The final boss is literally a giant agent smith made out of a skyscrapers for a bunch of normal sized smiths this game deserves the noble peace prize just for existing!
Mostly people don't care about movies games at all .
@BrandenTried the Xbox version had a completely different levels and a different ending. Tbh this game is A LOT of fun and it goes in depth in a sense on how Neo becomes Neo.
@@arduinoguru7233 did a full playthrough of this game on my channel
ArduinoGuru Because most of them suck ass
STUNNING AND BRAVE!
it's too bad the wajocy BROTHER'S died.
Me at the beginning of this video: "I bet it's not that insane."
Me at the end: "Oh my. I stand corrected."
Excellent commentary on the changes in the industry and things like manuals. Lot of new gen gamers who have no idea about what manuals used to represent - literally a technical breakdown of what the game was about and how to play it.
Yeah I miss Manuel's thank God for RUclips thow
I DO understand the logic.
Manuals are not only expensive, but not environmentally friendly.
@@PolarPhantom except nobody is throwing them away. Not only that, its just laminated paper that cant really dont anything to anything and will likely end up pulped into a hornets nest. Games are also 60 bucks now, so im sure they could afford a 70 cent manual thrown into the case considering theres just ads for other games in there now.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 games are $70 now, welp..
I remember whenever I got a new game when I was a kid and I couldn't play it immediately so I'd read the game manual it came with for a while, absorbing the info over and over until I had to do something or get to play the game. I miss manuals but I know that they're not really the greenest thing in the world

This was a game I played so much when I was younger, besides just being a Matrix fan my fave thing about Path of Neo was the insane amount of little secrets in combat.
One basic example which the game never tells you is that you could actually counter enemy throws too by pressing dodge with the right timing, compared to normal inputs they were actually hard to pull off as you needed to time it with the enemies' animation of hits, mashing wouldn't work. it was hilarious with Agent Smith's super punch as Neo would just tank it, staying in place and not lose any HP instead of being sent flying. Letting you just immediately start attacking back. I'd end up just letting the enemies grab me and see what stylish or wacky counter Neo would do.
During the final encounter with Smith too, you could also do everything Smith did depending on how well or bad you were doing. Even the cutscenes/loading screens you could interact with! An example is after the first flying section, if Smith did enough damage he'd send you flying into the building and then proceed to charge at you. If you pressed nothing, Neo would be smacked down. If you pressed Dodge, He'd jump over Smith like in the movie, if you pressed Attack you'd go to punch Smith causing a clash that sends them both flying. Alternatively, if you hit him into the building instead if you pressed nothing, Smith would just wait as you slowly glided inside. if you pressed attack you'd charge like Smith did, then Smith would actually be able to do one of the following defences like you did in earlier example above. He'd usually do Punch counter though. It goes further where as you fought normally in that warehouse and damaged the floor, if you or Smith did a powerful ground pound move where it was damaged you'd break the floor, causing another mini cutscene of you or him falling through with the other dodging out the way, where you'd proceed to pick up a girder each now both having a polearm fight. This kinda thing goes through the entire segment of them fighting, you could recreate the movie more or less, or do an alternate timeline where Neo gets utterly crushed or Smith is just overwhelmed despite the oracle boost. Everything Smith could do to you, you could do to him and some options didn't become clear unless you let Smith trigger them who would actually be trying too mid-combat. It was fun figuring them out, if ever curious I do recommend playing that final battle through a few times and let Smith do his thing, you'd be surprised what can be done.
I'm still convinced to this day Path of Neo has several more secret skills/abilities I was never able to figure out.
I didn’t know about that counter, but I guarantee there are other hidden moves. I found one where, while grabbing the enemy, you press forward + B to do a palm strike like the first movie. I also did something once where (at the Bruce Lee training level), I used the weapon you get there to jump really high, and strike from above. I have no idea how though.
@@Myth_or_Mystery76 Don't you learn the palm strike in the kung fu training? Unless it's a different one
you forgot to mention "the one combo"
the buttons for this combo are unlockable but if you know them you can do the combo once you have a long enough focus meter and have unlocked your basic combo to max.
the one combo is the longest combo in the game and can ultimately smash bosses entire health bar.
@@mido3071 Yeah. It just takes most of the game to unlock it unfortunately.
@@Myth_or_Mystery76
yes but it's so satisfying to pull off once you get it.
for the first half of the game you can do like parts of the combo by mixing things together till you get the full one.
when i realise that the movies where actually toned down from the wachowskis' original vision.
Which is hard to believe given how structured a d well put together the original film is
Yeah, they thought we wouldn't get it
Y E P
The Wachowskis are fucking bonkers and creative as hell and I love them for it
@@KnoxCarbon insane enough to have their weiners cut off ✂️
Don't let the fact that Path of Neo is insane, distract you from the fact that Neo is also breathtaking.
I didn’t make a single “breathtaking” joke this whole video
brb taking it down redoing it all
You’re both breathtaking-
Whoa.
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE ??????
@@PurposelessRabbitholes What's weird is how some cutscenes only trigger if you're in certain areas. I remember I would intentionally let Mr. Smith hit me in the subway fight on to the tracks, just so I could see the damn cutscene haha
someone made a theory where john wick is an alternate universe where neo took the blue pill
Not too far off. How many people from The Matrix team made it to the John Wick movies? Even still, because of the filming of Matrix 4, John Wick 4 can't move forward.
So Neo wakes up to find his wife dead and Then Greyjoy killed his dog? Damn man that blue pill fucks you up, that's that next level strange shit!
And the Bowery King is just Morpheus keeping an eye on him.
Nah, taking the blue aint gonna change the world entirely. He will just forget everything and continues his fake life.
This was legit probably my favorite game when I was like 6 years old. I'm glad someone is recognizing this game for the flawed masterpiece it really is.
"Freddy Mercury smoke-bomb"
-From 2020 greatest quotes
I played the shit out of this game as a kid. Flawed as it is, you could do some crazy stuff in it. Plus it has a bonkers ending that's way better than the one in the movies.
Jono SSD same here. Loved this game.
Same, loved the shit out of this game as a kid that was a massive Matrix fan (still am one).
Honestly a great game!
Those opening tutorial levels were awesome to replay
Yeah, I liked some of the training levels too. It was pretty cool to fight in the Japanese/chinese setting before the main story. I like the ghost fight level.
Agreed! I also loved them!
I bought this game because all my friends had seen all the movies and I had only seen the first one so I thought it's the best way to get in the trilogy loop.
Played through the 1st movie segment and assumed this game was accurate to the next movies too.
When I was asking my friends whether the ant scene was in 2 or 3 cause I "couldn't remember" the amount of confusion they had, brought my lies to the surface.
Then I watched 2 and 3 and I came to the conclusion that the game was better than the movies!
The biggest thing I remember from this game is "the one" combo that had like literally 25 inputs to use and I tried so hard to get it to work and I never could and was convinced it was impossible
25 FUCKING INPUTS?! Holy fuck, even Mortal Kombat and Tekken tournament professionals would shit their pants at that.
Laces115 no the wouldnt
im so happy i found this video again. the last 10 secs of the ending is epic, so well done. mustve searched 10 slimecicle vids thinkin it was his vid
This is by far the best RUclips video game I've seen in recent memory in the last few years at least. I was entertained the full way through and your editing and comedic timing is top notch. Seriously, great work!
"pulled out a Freddie Mercury smoke bomb and dipped" lmao I never laughed so hard at an end to a video before.
Fun fact: The teahouse level with the bird cages and guns is actually a direct recreation from Hard Boiled movie
The greatest action film of all time.
5:35 is a recreation of a scene from Drunken Master a Jackie Chan movie
ruclips.net/video/3wYCh5nxyCI/видео.html you're right!
@@MstreEnsin the hatchet clan!
Also, the black and white samurai sequence is a reference to the Japanese film Sword of Doom!
So the Wachowskis made Matrix, then Reloaded, then Revolutions.....
Then they did LSD and made Path of Neo
If directors can make fun of their own movies, i respect them. Not many would do that.
I would say the LSD part was before Revolutions
I think I have an answer for the tutorial. In the movie when Neo first starts learning how to fight Morphius or Trinity idk, ask the operator "how long has he been in there" the operator says hours. I think this game is showing you what he went through in those hours. Which is a nice attention to detail.
Absolutely.
This review was right on, you hit the nail on the head.
I totally forgot about this game despite having beat it 6 or 7 times back in the day.
After seeing Megasmith with the glasses
I want this game now
Edit: RUclips recommended this to me again. And update, what a steal, the local game shop happened to have this game for 20 bucks. *Woah*
Worth it
8 year old me: Yeah this Game is really really fun
19 year old me:
GIVE US ANOTHER MATRIX PON GAME PLSSSS
With Matrix 4 on the way, we can pray for a PON sequel too!
@@nicolasriveros943 I really hope so! Would be fun.
no that mean it's going be bog down with DLC and a unneeded multiplayer that only there to justify dlc that pearly made for the multiplayer
You can just ask WB games on Twitter
If they remaster or remake this game...ever...I can die happy 😊
this is honestly one of the funniest videos i’ve seen in a long time. played this game as a kid and was confused as fuck. glad to see it get some recognition.
watching this video after watching Resurrections and I feel like I understand Resurrections a lot better now, thank you for making this
I always enjoyed the tutorial sections. They just meant more fighting for me, which was the main reason why I loved playing this game.
yea its more kind of a "tutorial *" lol with the asterisk cuz its like a bit more than just a boring plain tutorial in the common sense
This was such a big part of my childhood and was hyped af when I saw this video pop up in my feed! you have however mentioned Jaws Unleashed twice now and I will be very very sad if you don't make a video on it lol
I’ve had it on my shelf for like 8 months now and I haven’t touched it explicitly because I’m waiting until I have time to make a video on it lol
@@PurposelessRabbitholes fuckin' beeeeeet 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Not gonna lie, with licensed games getting remakes nowdays, I feel like this game would make a really good candidate for a remake. There's enough good ideas here that a little polish would make something really fun.
Christopher Marlowe I know there is a popular spongebob game getting remade, not sure about any others.
Just that one for now, but it only takes one game to do something like that for a bunch of others to follow behind, and I REALLY want this one to follow behind. lol
Arc Neo Masato yeah this game looks wild I’d love to play it with modern ideas added to it.
I want to remake your opinion
Christopher Marlowe destroy all humans?
I just want a Remake out of this Game 🙏
Hopefully with the new movie coming up we'll finally get the Matrix game the world deserves
Purposeless Rabbitholes Let us pray 🙏
They should make a remake and only change gender of those "digital projections" at the end.
@@PurposelessRabbitholes wait, they're making another matrix movie?
@@hobodog7758 yep, they're filming it rn along side John wick 4. And they're both set to premier on the same day!
I grew up obsessed with this game when it was released. I finished it so many times I lost count. For me it will always be a masterpiece - this was a fun trip down memory lane, thank you.
Every once in a while I stop by on this video to kick back and laugh.
Works every time. Keep doing what you’re doing.
*Trinity just backfliped into the game*
I feel like the more iconic fight in Reloaded was Neo vs The Army of Smith.
That and the freeway chase scene if that counts
@@Logan912 That slash and uzi burst move by Morpheus is so cool.
I agree, because it goes from him only fighting 1 maybe 2 agents at a time to like 100,000 smiths just to signify that he is basically a god.
@@bradycharles9571 No it was to signify that Smith and Neo are matched 1:1. He could send 1 billion Smiths at Neo, and he wont lose. It's why he fights him 1v1 in Revolutions, because Smith is a copied machine version of the One.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse Yeah I was just saying it was a large gap in the display of Neo's skill up until that point. Like you know he is good and then you realize he is THAT good.
I kinda like the "tutorial" stages, could be because they're base on kung-fu and samurai films.
But I can see, it can be annoying just being dragging on for Neo just training.
They could have made those stages better or optional.
Kinda like extra missions, and able to choose to continue the story or do more training,
something like a mini hub world, that let you choose to do extra training stages, that gives extra bonus upgrades points.
and they could have addin more unique "training stages"
blade-runner theme, to horror, etc etc.
It's honestly the only part of the game I really liked. I remember being disappointed when it ended because all the variety went away.
@@Revealingstorm.
yeah more training missions would be nice
like a ninja theme, to dynasty warriors
storming a castle theme.
Nah I loved it.
It *really* drags on yea!
But then you come out of it with the scene from the movie showing you only plugged in for 20 seconds and you're like "holy shit"
Yeah, the Chinese restaurant scene is straight out of a John Woo movie, Hard Boiled, to be precise. You can also find the shootout scene on youtube ruclips.net/video/3wYCh5nxyCI/видео.html
@@kaisersoymilk6912
Nice, yeah the guys sitting on a table with a birdcage
I wish they did bladerunner and ghost in the shell like theme training too,
like a chase or run away training program.
and a few stealth like mission like Tenchu
or a kitchen fight or dinner fight something like Jet li's The Legend film.
or something obscure like Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters.
I can't belive it!!! You took me back braddah!!! I appreciate you so much
That level where you fight the ghost is permanently seared into my psyche. I've always enjoyed that level.
"I will be your Vergil through this Wachowski's Inferno" legit split my sides.
"What? No, you don't understand; I'm Neo"
"Read sign!"
Thank you for this. Great video, keep it coming!
Also Reloaded mentioned that The Matrix had earlier versions having programs acting as Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts so yeah the game fleshes out that line said by The Oracle.
Cool video though
Not to mention in reloaded and Revolution the events that transpired already happened and you're probably playing the different events that transpired in those pass simulation in The Matrix and despite stupidly dumb and cool it was is actually make sense in the reality of The Matrix and I'm one of the very few that understood the movie the first time I watch it and I didn't fall asleep when it come to the sequels.
You can certainly tell that the movie sequels and the video game were rush because of the studio interference. They actually created a masterpiece but didn't have enough time nor the budget.
They were also very ambitious the technology was not able to catch up with their ideas at the time even the movie itself only make more sense in our day and age.
Even funnier in retrospect is how resurrections continues the insanity exactly, the Wachowskis have not changed and it and that’s beautiful
I think the fact that they were still learning how these games work back then is why I prefer games from that generation. Now every game does the control teaching stuff the exact same
Back in those days, they really experimented with open worlds games. Now, all the modern open worlds games are just different reskins of The Witcher 3.
@@aryabratsahoo7474 Not to mention that a lot of games have the same over-the-shoulder third person camera as fucking Dead Space.
@@four-en-tee Back then they all had fixed cameras or super pulled back so not much changed
THIS! Game developers hadn't quite figured out the formula yet, so they just did whatever they could get away with!
Being stuck in corrupted matrix code sounds scary and super cool I want to see that not only being stuck in a computer/ videogame for real but it's also super glitchy that's frightening
I would also recommend "Anatomy", a short indie game by kittyhorrorshow that you can get from itch.io for only a few bucks. I don't want to spoil the whole experience, but I will say that it is a haunted house story that uses its nature as a game environment to great effect. (Matt and Pat of the Super Best Friends did a full playthrough of it for one of their Halloween videos, but it's short and cheap enough that you should experience it for yourself first.)
@@vaclav4435 oooh I loved SBFP r.i.p. 😞 I still fallow matt pat and woolie tho
I have such intense nostalgia for this game, even though it is absolutely terrible. I love hearing your take on it.
Bro, I love your videos. I've been really depressed these past few weeks but marathoning your videos always makes me smile. I hope you have as much fun making them as I do watching them. Thank you.
Just watched the review after seeing the trailer for the matrix 4 resurrections, I cannot believe we live in a day and age where the matrix franchise is back. I am glad to see someone else absolutely love and enjoy every bit of this attended stupidity of pure awesome that is the path of neo. And personally I take this as the TRUE ending of how matrix 3 ended with the giant fucking agent Smith. Yes the controls where the biggest hurdle of this game, personally I would love to see a remaster or an updated HD remake with modern controls and I would be content.
Hopefully we get that a bit with The Matrix Awakens!
If they just made a movie about the second act where neo saves the red pills, the movie would've been awesome. Even if they made a movie ABOUT one of the people Neo saved, that shit would've been cool. But no
The movie was terrible
Dude Trinity coming out of nowhere backfliping on to Neo had me rolling 😂
18:10 in and I'm loving the way you've edited and worded this video out. Brilliantly captures all that I felt when I ran through the game like twice and possibly more. Kudos, man.
There is a "Zion Archives" on the level select screen at the very end. It's so bizarre.
Imma start using "freddy mercury smoke bomb"
Honestly the immediate-into-combat start to determine your skill and thus difficulty - it's great.
I think the first level where the game decides which difficulty level suits you is a masterpiece . Your difficulty level is based upon how well you adapt to the shit the game throws at you. I remember when I finally unlocked '' The one '' difficulty, enjoyed the hell out of it countless times.
Thank you Purposeless Rabbitholes, very cool!
The Wachowskis must've done some drugs doing The Matrix to have come up with some of that insanity, but they clearly went balls to the wall berserk with it for the games.
Yep. Dmt.
@@vegeta8169 they took acid for the film's, then upgraded to DMT for the games XD
Pussies to the wall
I mean, they're queer 90s weebs. We merely adopted their ways. They built it.
@@PosthumanHeresy wachowskis built like spielberg built his ways
I actually loved the tutorial levels in this game and replayed them a bunch just cause it felt like I was playing through a bunch of different classic action movies. Even if it wasn’t the main story, it was just more game and I had fun learning all the mechanics and just killing people with the crazy combat.
During my first playthrough I was genuinely annoyed with how long that whole series of levels went on (as I'm sure you could tell), but upon going back and playing them a couple more times to get some extra footage, I found myself enjoying them more
I would never have discovered this game where it not for you...so thank you fore taking the time to get lost down the insane rabbit hole that is this game for us...hilarious!
The tutorials are the best part. Send ups/homages to Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, John Woo, Akira Kurosawa and more.
Man, I loved this game. Must've beaten it at least 5 times. The PC version was the way to go Rabbit.
Yeah, I tried to track that down, but I couldn't get it working on any of my machines. I'm terrible with computers though, so... that plan went south. Then I tried emulating, but it was flickering and freaking out on the PCSX2, wasn't getting a genuine or capture-able experience. A day of work didn't fix that, so in the end I just bit the bullet and recorded all my footage in shit quality off of an original Xbox haha. I bet it would've been a much smoother experience had I played it on PC honestly, but I rationalized it in my head by telling myself that this is the original format I played it in
@@PurposelessRabbitholes Honestly, I remember it being a stuttery mess. To my child brain, 10 frames was considered acceptable. And this was on the same system that could run Xmen 2 wolverines revenge easily enough. So, it was just a thoroughly unstable game on pc, regardless of specs.
I just replayed the training levels over and over. Man, those were the days...
16:19 so this is my first time seeing one of your videos and honestly this segment SOLD me on your channel lmao
This popped up in my recommended today out of nowhere and I'm laughing so hard I must have cracked a rib. I remember playing this game as a teenager WHO BARELY UNDERSTOOD ENGLISH, so imagine playing this wacky shit having even less of an idea what is actually going on. This vídeo represents young me on a spiritual level.

I feel like I’ve been looking for a channel like this for so long. Bravo. Subscribed
Ah Gods yes, so glad I got this deep down the rabbit hole of your channel, one of the funniest new creators I've found in a while.
This game 100% had a moves list. I remember trying them all and they were basically all taken directly from the films.
Technically there _is_ a movelist of 6 secret combos in the extras menu, but that’s it. They’re super complicated and you have to find all 6 of them individually across the campaign; other than that there’s no movelist of any of the base attacks, of which there are... _so_ many, jesus christ
@@PurposelessRabbitholes Ah, fair enough - I'll trust your recent experience more than my decade and a half old impressions! PS Really digging your videos, this one in particular brought back a lot of great memories.
I have far away fade memory of list in game too :D but maybe it was because I played on PS2 and not Xbox
One of the funniest videos I’ve ever watched, keep grinding man
“Most realistic cop in a video game ever, goes to...” 😂🤣
What a glorious nostalgia trip! Perfect tonal progression to match the games insanity! Thanks for that!
I really have to compliment you for your entire style of video making. You have such an infectious energy during your commentary and your vocabulary is so varied and interesting that I can't help but laugh and smile while watching your content even when I've had a horrible day
This might be the most amazing review of anything i have ever seen.
This honestly was a refreshingly enjoyable review. Very genuine, very funny, and entertaining as hell. This man took a 15 year old game that no one gave a shit about then nor do they now and somehow made it golden! Great work man, this was incredibly fun to watch. Thanks for your effort
Noone gave a shit about? Fuck you that was one of my favorite games
I’m late but I’m with this guy fuck you lol this game was amazing 😉
Dude, you are TOO damn entertaining. Lol.
3:24 the pill scene actually happens earlier, right at the start of the game before you get thrown into the lobby. Dunno if it's different in the Xbox version but the other versions have the pill be the first thing you do. The training sections are also out of order, the last one you do is the gun section before the famous Morpheus fight.
Xbox version is same
He skipped talking about it cause he probably doesn't like it
“Did this game just throw down a Freddie Mercury smoke bomb and dip the fuck out?” LMAO!
Best fucking 33:28 in years, well done!!
I remember reaching the final stage of Path of Neo when I was a teen. My whole family was on the living room minding their own business and they all stopped when the Wachoski's appeared.
I played this game with a friend when it came out of the blue. I remember thinking how this was going to be the MATRIX GAME we all wanted. But damn, it was actually the Matrix game we NEEDED.
P.S. I do remember a combo list, because I looked at some combo called 'the one' and it looked impossible to pull off!
Props for using Frasier clips. Best sitcom ever!

Other than the fact that this video is awesome (just discovered your channel) I'm so glad you encapsulated what I felt about this game so well while pretty much the critics and everyone else was merrily spitting senseless on it.
