The Matrix: Path of Neo is a singleplayer third-person action, brawler, shooter and TPS game in the The Matrix series.
The PC version of the game is based off the Xbox release, in which both ports are missing graphical effects from the PlayStation 2 version (e.g. depth of field absent, image warping, etc), along with a proper widescreen support.[1]
