But you would, wouldn't you?
Ok here is my list of reasons why it is going to suck:
1. Bullet time is in almost every single game now and it is getting boring.
2. You cannot play as Neo
3. It is just another 3rd person adventure like Shenmue
4. Conkers BFD is pratically the same Gameplay wise
5. It is being made by Shiny!
6. It is multi-format and 90% of multi-format games are crap
7. The screen shots look like 1997 PC Graphics. Just like Half-Life
8. It is going to be hard to shoot unlsesss they have a gay locking on system (Cos it aint First Person)
9. They have taken too long to produce a Matrix game so everyone has taken the liberty of using all the Matrix's specials (eg Bullet Time) and nothing in it will be new.
10. All it will be is fighting, spoon bending, shooting and jumping. Nothing original in that!

They are making a point to actually revamp the bullet time effects, whether it will make much difference I can't tell till I've played it
> 2. You cannot play as Neo
You play as two other main charcters for Reloaded and Revolutions, doesn't matter much, plus a nice woman in a catsuit :P

There are a lot of them, doesn't make it bad

You just pressed B a few times in that, hardly gonna be the same, is it?

New develpoers doesn't mean bad developers

Still leaves another 10% that are good ;)

What the...? Doesn't look anything like 'em

Can't really comment, but it can't be to hard to move your aim if your moving so slowly

Scroll up to no.1. Making one point twice, tskkkk...

I don't think Uri Gellar made it, unless he er...works for Shiny

Iam a big Matrix fan, and when i seen the screenshots in PC gamer i have to admit they looked like a dogs dinner. Im not expecting much at all.
I hope it will be a good game as the film was so good.
I'll have you know that Shiny made Earthworm Jim 1&2, which were both fantastic games.
But yes, it will suck immensly, huge film = hugely crap game

I agree with you there. But for those of us who haven't really seen it it'll still be good. And it'll keep the game quite true to the films.
> 2. You cannot play as Neo
That is a shame! But with the abillity to do ANYTHING, it'd be all too easy.
> 3. It is just another 3rd person adventure like Shenmue
What's wrong with Shenmue??
And Zelda: Ocarina of Time was also third-person, and so is the forth-coming Zelda title on the 'Cube!
> 4. Conkers BFD is pratically the same Gameplay wise
Conker's Bad Fur Day was a brilliant game!
> 5. It is being made by Shiny!
I loved the first 2 Earthworm Jim games!
> 6. It is multi-format and 90% of multi-format games are crap
TimeSplitters 2? Medal of Honour: Frontline? FIFA 2003? Half-Life?
> 7. The screen shots look like 1997 PC Graphics. Just like Half-Life
It's still in development...!
> 8. It is going to be hard to shoot unlsesss they have a gay locking on system (Cos it aint First Person)
Ever played Jet Force Gemini? Brilliant game!
And Metroid Prime has a lock-on system...
> 9. They have taken too long to produce a Matrix game so everyone has taken the liberty of using all the Matrix's specials (eg Bullet Time) and nothing in it will be new.
Perhaps they've been working-hard on it??
10. All it will be is fighting, spoon bending, shooting and jumping. Nothing original in that!
No... But it's fun all the same!

Or in the tombraider, resevil and FF games, huge game = hugely crap films
